Way to Go "Sleeve Twin Sister" I was sleeved at approximately 10:30AM Monday. Drove home this morning. Getting on the sip, walk, burp bandwagon. Everything seemed to go well, but the first two days were rough for me. Never been cut on before, and the pain that moves through from ab to chest was scary at first. But feeling 300% better since Monday.. We made to the Sleeve Side Sis! All incesions look good no bruising at all.

Loser -- SO glad to hear everything came through great for you... I was hoping to hear from you, and here you are, doing GREAT! :thumbup: YAHOO to my sleeve-twin BRO!

All... I'm doing pretty well this evening. Last night and early today was pretty tough... Threw up bloody icky 3 times on Monday night, so I've been put on a lot of nausea meds, only have thrown up a couple times since, when trying to drink Water. So, they took me off that for the remainder of today. Now I'm trying warm Chamomile tea, it has stayed down. Drank some Tang, also stayed down... And, have taken Nexium for the first time today. Melted it in a small dose cup and drank it down. Feeling ok with all of this so far.

Been walking around like a mad-woman! :w00t: The gentleman who was also sleeved the same day as me, along with his wife, has been walking with me. He keeps telling me to slow down, so I guess that's a good sign. :wink:

As for me, due to the vomiting and such, the docs have asked that I stay one extra day, so I won't be flying home until Friday now, not tomorrow. Because of the severe damage my band did to me before, the surgery was a bit more technical and time-intensive, and they are really wanting to make sure everything is 100% before I leave because of that. I think keeping down the liquids, which I've now been able to do, is a key... Getting the Xray tomorrow to look for leaks, and after that, if all is well... Home Friday! YA!

Thanks to all for your kindness and support. I cannot express how much you have help me through this, every day of my journey! - :smile::smile::smile:
