Hi everyone! I was sleeved tues at 8am and I am feeling great they had to give me a little "liquid courage" before wheeling me back to surgery. I started thinking about my child and not waking up. I'm so glad I didn't back out. When I first woke up I was nauseous and sore but they gave me meds that helped. Shortly after getting in my room my heartrate jumped up and they couldn't figure out why. They did an upper GI (omg that liquid that I had to drink was horrible) the scan came back fine..no leak once my HR was stabalized, my bp went up. My surgeon called a pcp to visit with me. He was very nice, ordered a chest xray, which came back fine. He then put me on a bp med. He said I probably had high bp to begin w and the antesthia made it spike. My surgeon let me know that my liver was little (I struggled w preop diet, cheating) and my stomach handled the surgery well. So now I am back home on full liquids. I get my drain out Monday. I'm getting in my liquids pretty easily. My right incision burns some, but nothing compared to my c section lol. I don't own a scale so I have no idea how much I have lost. I will be weighed mon. So far, so good. I am blessed to be having such a smooth recovery and I pray it continues to go well. I'm getting to know my new sleeve and I'm excited to share my journey with you guys!

Congratulations, you are on your way.
