Sleeved 6 hrs ago

I'm out of recovery and have been in my room for 2.5 hrs. Doing good. Some soreness but no nausea or dizziness. Actually feels better to get up and walk. Ice chips never tasted so good. Might leave tomorrow since I am doing good. Oh yeah, fhey repaired a umbilical hernia that I didn't know I had. Talk to you later when I get home. Going to take a nap.....

Fantastic! Glad everything went smoothly and well and looking forward to hearing from you when you get home. B)

Well you are doing soo good..Just keep walking and sipping. Right now you need to work really hard in getting you 64 ounces of water in. When you meet your water goal start working on you protein..

Woohoo!! I am sleeved too! They did mine just this morning and sounds like we are in the same boat. I really feel very good, other then being so groggy, sucking ice chips and walking around just fine! So cheers to our great surgery and to our speedy recovery!! And to kissing ours pounds goodbye!

You folks posting on the day of your surgery blow me away! Amazing....trust me, you don't want me posting on the day of my surgery. All grammar, spelling and decorum are likely to go out the window! Congratulations on feeling well enough to post! B)

agree I tried but had to abandon the thought. Here's to our March sleevers and a big howdy to the new April crew. I was sleeved on 3/1 going back to work on Tues. No problems with getting Water or Protein in. Still get real worn out without much effort. Trying to walk 20 min a day. Have lost 15 lbs since OR.

I am so happy to hear how well you all are doing. I am getting sleeved next Tuesday and can't think of anything else. I hope I do as well as you.

Take care :)

Came home last evening. Pain itself from incision is minimal but the gas bubbles are killing me. I was known as "Oh, you're the one who walked all the time" to the nurses and aids at the hosptal. Napping a lot. When I sip on water I never realized how much air I swallow. The air bubble just sits in my epigastric area and has that upward pressure. I dry heaved a couple times at home b/c of the bubble. I had a supposity the morning after surgery and it worked in about an hour....farting and some diarrhea but nothing since then, I haven't passed anything (not like there is much to pass.) Maybe if the lower end worked more, than the air bubbles would pass down instead. I know...walk, walk, walk, and more walk. Sip sip sip... I am on a clear diet today since I came earlier than expected but then Sat I start full liquids. Good luck to all the other Marcher's.
