So Happy to hear things went well! I will be joining you on the losers bench tomorrow morning!!!!

I am SO impressed that you can organize your brain enough to post so quickly after surgery!! Good for you and congratulations on having that behind you. The best is yet to come as you watch the weight drop off!! :D

So glad to see your update! I hope things continue to go well and the pain goes away! Looking forward to joining you on the losers bench next month. :)

Not doing quite so well- pain, gas, bad nausea yesterday. I'm being kept another day as I am not able to get fluids in. Today is better and tomorrow will be better yet!

I'm so happy for you Michelle and hope you continue to do well!

Meggie I'm sorry you're going through all this but I think it's a good decision for them to keep you an extra day to make sure all is well. Try to keep happy thoughts and as unlady like as it is, hike a leg if you have to and poot away! Get rid of the gas in the tummy and feel better soon!

Meggie:

Hang in there gorgeous one, you're going to get better every day. Walk as much as you can. Best wishes for a fast, productive "tailwind"! :P

I know what you mean with the pain - the one incision that they did the most work out of, is really causing me alot of it - last night was the worst -

Keep up the good work Meggie - the pain and nausea will get better

Today is plain awful - the pain im having on my left side where the main incision is, man it spasams escpecially if the pain meds have worn off - I feel horrible today! called the DR they said it was normal, but damn =

Just thought I would post - going back to my chair - hope all you other may 9ers are doing better then me.

So glad to hear the niners are doing well! Congrats

Hi Red Velvet Gangers!!

I am glad to heart that you made it thru!! My surgery was at 4, I was in my room by 7. Dr. said it went perfectly!!

I, thankfully, did not have nausea or vomiting. Just ALOT of gas. That gas is no joke and HURTS like hell! I walked a lot, but did not help. I was miserable yesterday. Felt like I could not breathe and was having a heart attack. Today it still hurts, but not as bad, I did some tootin' this morning and it seemed to relieve some pressure. I am not taking my Lortab, as I do not really have pain other than gas!

I feel like I am doing well. I just do not have an appetite, which I am sure is normal! I have been drinking fluids, and am having Isopure today. There is 40 grams of Protein in that bottle and I have drank half of it since 7 this am. Dr. just told me to focus on liquids for now. I will be able to handle more in a few days.

I hope you all are able to recover quickly and feel well. I really think I am going to love my sleeve!!!

Kelly ;)
