So glad to be sleeping on my stomach again! Happy days are here again

Never got a pic of my xray but I watched the liquids go through my stomach on the tv. I did however get a pic of the part of my stomach they removed. What amazing things they can do with Divinci! I showed it off like it was a new baby pic lmao Had a bm day 3 and have everyday since though nothing like before.

Day 3. As much liquid as I can to keep from dehydrating and full liquids for 2 wks. No purees til wk 3.

I came home last night from being sleeved on the 28th. Only had pain meds the first day I was in the hospital. Did so well they let me roam as I pleased and they kept saying they wished all their patients were as happy as me lol Gas has subsided which was my only real discomfort. Kind of shocked to see I had 9 incisions! 2 that are pretty bruised but they dont really bother me. I need to work on drinking so I dont get dehydrated. Just so easy to not want anything right now! All in all so glad to be home just have to keep reminding the kids to stay away from my belly lol

I asked about that uncomfortable feeling when drinking and was told it was from all the swelling inside. As the days go on and our healing gets better we will be able to take in more without the uncomfortable feeling.

Welcome to the joys of being pumped with gas! LOL Your creature will calm down within the next few days

Oh my gosh I do that too. Everytime I swallow something I get bubbley and burp lol

So glad to hear everyone is doing well! Hopefully I'll get to go home tomorrow. Sending a big good luck to all our 30s! You guys will do wonderful!

I've been up most the night but not because of pain. The guy across the hall feels the need to scream at the top of his lungs every now and then! lol

Wishing good luck to all our 29s tomorrow!

I brought them but have not used it. My nurse didn't say not to use it but advised I'd be better without. They want you to have and pass gas to be able to get out of here lol

Anyone else get a pic of their new stomach? I might be weird but I think it's the coolest thing!

Had surgery this morning and doing pretty well! In room now and super tired. Pain in my shoulders from gas is worse than my stomach which isnt bad at all. Will be up walking soon and no food til tomorrow which is ok .. I'M NOT HUNGRY!! lol

Good luck to my fellow 28ers! Talk to you all soon. Heading to bed cuz 5:30 am checkin comes real fast lol

I've seen gas x strips and also told to ask nurse for an abdominal binder. Suppose to help with the moving as apposed to holding your pillow. Worth a shot anyways. Got the wonderful call to be at hospital at 5:30 am for a 7:15 surgery .. ugh! Plus I'm the first of the day .. not sure how to feel about that one lol

Wishing all our 27's a safe surgery and looking forward to hearing how you all are doing!!

I'm also in PA. 2 days left, had a good cry and I'm ready to go! lol

I can definitely understand that! Welcome to the group

Maybe I haven't been paying attention lol but why are so many people going to Mexico to have this done?

Yes was told Tylenol was ok

Since you took the time to make a spreadsheet, I took the time to fill out my info lol Wonderful idea and looking forward to seeing everyone's success!!

Scheduled for the 28th, too. Been on liquid diet since the 16th and I just want to chew! lol Getting more excited and nervous as I get closer

You lucked out with no liquid diet! I must say I'm pleasantly surprised, now 4 days into it, that I'm not starving. Thank you Protein shakes!! lol Working 12 hrs is not so fun, but at least it will keep you occupied and not thinking about food. I hope this will be like when I had my gallbladder out .. wishful thinking Just gives me a few more little scars to add to my collection lmao Wish you the best and will keep you posted, as I hope you will do the same.

I definitely share your excitement! I will be having my surgery May 28th, and am starting my liquid diet today
