Surgery this afternoon. Nausea subsiding. No drain! Pain is manageable. Mouth is really, really dry. No sips of water or ice chips until tomorrow . Hope I can sleep the night away until my husband comes back in the morning but I doubt it. Glad I have my phone for entertainment.

Congratulations1... you are doing so well. I hope everything continues to go well for you.

Remember..;.Walk and then walk some more. That seems to be the only way to get the excess pressure to subside. In these first few days, concentrate on getting your Fluid in. It's going to be harder than you think, but soon you feel start to feel better and better.

Enjoy this new journey!

They are not having me get up tonight. Catheter still in and hooked up to all the monitors. Will be walking in the morning!

God speed!! I hope all goes away soon and u feel better real sooner!! hugs to u XO

It gets better with each new day ...congrats!

YAY you're sleeved! Just walk, sip, and rest and you'll feel better with each day! Let the sleeve journey begin- woo hoo!

Glad to hear you are doing well. I couldn't eat ice ships or drink water the first day it made me nauseous. I hope you have a speedy recovery
