Hi , I had my sleeve done on Monday 9/22/14, was in the hospital tues and came home on wednesday, I am feeling good, they told me I would be having a lot of gas pains up in shoulder area but my gas pains are mainly in my belly, sort of like bad cramps..... no nausea.... my doctor gave me a RX for Bentyl to stop the spasm in the stomach, but I did buy Gas-X strips also haven;t used them yet. my pain level is about an 8 out of 10, have 5 holes in stomach, hurts on coughing, sneezing, walking, but all this will get better...... taking full liquid diet, including a cream soup, I am a diabetic, and they sent me home without any insulin and my blood sugar this morning was 104. they said with removal of 3/4 of the stomach they also remove the diabetic hormone and within 2-3 months or sooner i will NOT BE A DIABETIC ANYMORE!! how great is that!!!! I lost 11 lbs going into surgery......hang in there all of you..... Judy Bucz 9/25/14

Hello, I just found this site. it is going to be great to hear from other people what they are going through with me. My surgery is scheduled for September 22, 2014. YEP in 6 days..... I am on the pre-op protein drinks and clear liquids also and my surgeon said I can have 1/2 cup of non-startchy vegetables a day. I usually have cukes and look forward to them cause I am so hungry!! today when I left a store, I just stood in the parking lot and breathed in the air cause someone was cooking steak or something and it smelled SOOOO GOOD..... LOL keep in touch, good luck!! Its a new journey never taken before, but will be better one day at a time..... Judy
