...posting about my sleeve experience. I was sleeved on Oct 6, last Monday. The same day after surgery, I could have nothing by mouth, which was hard for me because my mouth was soooo dry!! I was given a morphine PCA pump (a little button that I could push as often as every 8 minutes that would give me a dose of morphine), that was mmmm, interesting. I was so out of it that anytime a nurse/doc/my family came into the room, I would fall asleep talking to them, (kinda funny). I was in SOO much pain from the gas, I got up and walked my arse off, and it DID NOT help at all. I still today have gas. I puked twice, ouch, once in the middle of the night Monday, and the second time after the swallow test.
I was discharged the next day, still very groggy from the morphine. I took so many naps between Tues-Thurs. But, now I am feeling much more rested, still a little gassy, and very little incision pain.
I am eating cream Soups, which is saving me from trying to dig into everything at my house!
Getting tired of the shakes.
Hope everyone is doing well, and progressing!!!
