I'm doing a little better today. Not as painful throughout my whole abdomen. Just twinges here and there. As far as I've been told I have no GI involvement but I read that is common. Mayara, did you make a full recovery?

Mayara, can you share your story? I'm just released from the hospital and on pain meds so typing mine on this phone won't happen now but I need to see others doing ok from it. TIA!

Yep. It happened to me. Anyone else?

Just wondering if anyone else felt it too. Thanks!

I've had bouts of burning in my sleeve since yesterday evening. Not constant and not getting worse. Just every now and then. It's not reflux. It's burning like a scrape on the skin would burn. Normal healing pains? Sleeved 9/1

Wow! So many crazy things can happen. Keeping the faith that I'm just sore and nothing else is going on. Glad you are doing so well now!

Oh gosh! How did they find the hematoma on your spleen? I'm glad you're ok now!! No fever or poop issues as of now. Thank God.

Thanks! It's not even really muscle aches. It's like my guts and everything else just hurts. Having a rough couple days. Maybe I'll turn the corner soon. Down 15 lbs so at least there's that LOL

8 days out and still getting nauseous and most of the day I'm just achy inside. Not my sleeve but just feel like my insides are all beaten up. Am I the only one?

Doing ok here! Biggest complaint is gas, not being able to drink enough to quench my thirst and my vein the iv was in has a couple swollen red spots so that's concerning. Other than that, it's been a good journey so far! Down 6 lbs from Monday's pre-op!

Tomorrow's the day!!!!!!!

Oh Trinn! That bites! Praying it goes away quickly! Keep us updated! I mentioned my left side pain earlier. We went out to eat my "last" meal tonight. Son of a gun I started hurting really badly. It's mostly passed now except for a slight nagging feeling like it usually is. I think it's related to gas somehow because I seem to be pass it more when the pain is worse. I'm going to ask what all bloodwork they run tomorrow at pre-op and see if they will throw in the pancreas bloodwork and then I'm going to ask the surgeon before on Tuesday morning about looking around inside before cutting just to put my mind at ease some. OH! And I'm about to get my toes pretty and get all packed. We hit the road to New Orleans at 8 am sharp!

Yeah I have a feeling I'm going to be a you know what during post op diet. I'm going to try my best not to be afterward though. I chose this and need to try and not take my aggravation out on anyone else in my household. 2 days to go! Still totally freaking about health stuff. I have spent so much time online researching the symptoms of this left side pain I've been having since November. Biggest fear is something being wrong with me and going through this surgery. I have GOT to give this to God and trust that I'm ok.

Getting closer guys! Still freaking out. Had a pizza and ramen noodle food funeral tonight. Oh and brownies. I'm not required to do a pre-op diet other than clears the day before. I'm HOPING to do full liquids tomorrow and clears Monday since I ate so bad today. Smoking...wasn't a requirement to quit BUT going to do my best to before. I know I won't smoke after. Too scared to. How's everyone else doing?

If there's already a topic started for that date, if you could point me there that would be great. If not, here is one for Sept 1 peeps I'm nervous as all get out. All kinds of crap going through my head. I know if not for the before/after pics I see here and on FB I would have already backed out because of fear. I go from freaking out to super excited about what will be accomplished by the end of the year and by this time next year and how much better I will feel. I just am scared of complications from surgery and also scared of other health issues that may be going on that I don't know about or that may pop up and having a sleeve may further complicate them. I guess just the unknown. Hope to find some 9/1 buddies!
