So I had my surgery yesterday in Mexico with Dr Ortiz and it was an amazing experience. The nurses and doctors were fabulous and the facility is immaculate. One of the coolest parts is while you're in the hospital they are not in your room 20 times/night and if they do they tiptoe in, change your IV bag and leave! And it's soooo quiet and peaceful. I woke up with very minimal gas pain ready to take this challenge head on. So good luck and prayers for all of you who will soon have a smaller tummy and a beautiful healthy life ahead of you.

I was sleeved on 2/13. Stayed one night in the hospital. Gas pains were not bad. Pain from the incisions required narcotics for the first 10 hours. Since I wasn't sleeping well in the hospital, I would get up and walk around throughout the night. Went for about 6 walks during my hospital stay. I was surprised that more people were not walking around since 9 of us had the surgery that day.
By the next morning, I'd say the pain was a 3/10. liquid Tylenol was all I needed for pain once I got home. But I did take a Percocet at nighttime just to relax. I tolerated fluids well the day after surgery. With every sip there was a moment of pain as it went into my sleeve. This sensation has improved every day and is almost non-existant at day 10. I took Gas X strips in the days following surgery but didn't really notice a difference. By day 4 post op, I felt pretty darn good. I spent most of day 5, 6, and 7 going out, running errands, driving and living a pretty normal life. On day 8, I went back to work and it was not a problem at all as I work in an office. Also, I drink one cup of Smooth Move Tea to prevent Constipation.
I lost 15 lbs in 10 days post op and I'm down a total of 70lbs since the process started on October 13, 2016.
