Well I had my surgery this morning and was home by 4. I have some tenderness and some gas but nothing horrible. The worse part is my mouth is so dry. I keep sucking on ice chips but still not helping alot.

SO glad this part is over. Now I just want to join the loosers bench. Staying off the scale will be the hard part!

Sorry for the delay Trish, I spent the day with my mom yesterday! I have never really had issues with reflux and since surgery I still have no signs of it. I hope you find what works for you! Good luck and so far I love my sleeve!!!!:smile:

Thanks LyndaRN - so glad you are doing so well. What are you eating/drinking right now - just like 3-4 days out surgery correct? Are you an RN - if so - are you OK with 85% or so of your stomach being gone? (vs. the bypass that doesn't remove any of the stomach)? Thanks - I have all these questions/thoughts/etc.

Well today I have had a cup of SF Jello and a SF popscile and Water. I feel like I have cravings because my family is eating good stuff but I am happy when I step on the scale every morning and see the numbers drop! I am not worried with 80% of my stomach being gone. I think if I would have kept going I would have had a lot more health problems than just over weight.

Yes I am a RN!

Hey Linda, I'm so glad your doing well! I had the worst time my first month or so, but since then its really been a breeze, Good luck and keep us posted!!

Make sure you are doing a walk every so often, it really helps. Well done you for coming home the same day - I cannot imagine doing that. Good luck xx
