My surgery day experience ...so far.

I got sleeved this morning and I feel pretty good. I WA pretty fortunate for a couple reasons.

1. So far, I haven't experienced any of the pain in the shoulders from the gas.

2. My doctor went to a seminar to learn single port sleeving and because I'm so short, he did it for me. This means that I only have one incision which is in my belly button.

3. I have yet to feel even the slightest nausea...knock on wood. I'm only allowed ice chips. I can't even drink small sips of Water. I'm actually kind of nervous about restriction because j haven't felt any! Does anyone know at what point I will start feeling it?

I am so tired right now so I'm going to push my happy button (morphine) and go to sleep! I'll repudate this post either late today or tomorrow!!! Sending healing thoughts out to everyone else who got sleeved today.

Please keep us posted on your progress and how things go at home. I hope they will let you take some of the "mystery shots" home with you or at least in liquid form. Best wishes and a speedy, uneventful recovery.

My first day was really bad, this second one is better. I hope that you feel better soon. Yesterday I asked myself all day what I had done! I swear if anyone tells me I took the easy way I'll slug them!

I totally agree with you! It just keeps getting better and better. I haven't had any desire to eat food for the past 3 days! And if I field one comment about "the easy way" I'll get so cranky!! Best of luck in the rest of your recovery!

Glad you are feeling better!!! Don't slug anyone til your incision is TOTALLY healed! lol I'm officially 7 days out of surgery (about 2 hours ago) and my bruises have just started to show up! hahahaha Guess that has to do with the length of their commute to the surface!! Anyway, take it easy. focus on fluids and don't sweat the little stuff.

LOL Leslie, I agree with you. It's not an easy way out by any means.

Bitties, glad you are doing well. Before long all of us will be super big losers and looking HOTT!
