Hey all! I got sleeved on May 12th and am trying to get used to it all! I have had pain every day since the surgery, mostly manageable with pain meds but sometimes not. I think the drain they sent me home with is the worst part! Hoping to get it removed at today's appointment. Kind of hard to get back to normal life with a little plastic container hanging off your stomach! Other than that I'm feeling good. I still have the gas, still can't tell if the stomach rumbling is hunger or the gas, but I am trying to follow the doctor's orders. I am having a very hard time getting my Protein in, how do you guys do it? I barely finish drinking one thing when I'm supposed to be drinking something else!

Woohoo! You're almost here!

Thank you all! I'm having quite a bit of pain in one of my stab sites. Makes it difficult to bend or get comfy in bed. Nausea had been the worst and they have given me several drugs to combat that
Never be afraid to ask. He found a hernia once he got in which didn't show up on the upper gi. I'm feeling much better today and I hope to feel even better tomorrow.

hi Doll I was May 12th as well but I had no drain my only problem was gas I stayed 3 days because I wasn't getting enuf liquids in

Good luck! I'm 5 days post-op and I am happy to be on this side, despite the pain and surge of emotions and everything else that comes with it! Yay for you!
