I was sleeved. Friday morning. I've been nauseous and vomiting. Perhaps due to the anesthesia. All I been wanting to do is rest. I'll chat more later.

CONGRATS!!!! Welcome to the sleeve family! I know the first few days are rough, but you will get through it. The sleeve is such an amazing tool that changes your life in so many great ways. I hope you feel better soon!

I am glad you made it through!

Congrats and welcome to Sleeveland!! Sorry you're sick, hopefully they can get it under control for you and you'll be well on your well to healing!!

I'm still sore. At home resting now. Not hungry but sipping water to stay hydrated. Very weak and tired but walking around my place is ok. For now I have no desire to actually eat. Maybe I will soon. In pain but not enough to take that nasty liquid lortab. Gonna try sleeping some more. Talk to y'all later.

Each day will get better, Keep sipping that water, napping and walking, envisioning yourself 1 year from now.

Congrats on your surgery.

Congrats!!!! Welcome to the loser's bench You'll feel better each day!

You all are the best. Still a bit sore but time heals all wounds. I feel stronger daily. My SO made bacon for herself this morning. Normally a good smell but I found it quite repulsive. Been hanging in there with homemade lemonade and water. Heard a few stomach growls but they went away with the lemonade.

So glad everything went well! I had the same thing with the anesthesia, had to stay an extra night in the hospital cause I couldn't keep anything down. Wishing you the best recovery!

Welcome to the losers bench...it is great over hear. Sorry to hear about the adverse effects. But this will pass. I know, I barfed for two days solid. Hated my life then. But, things get better. Not always sunshine on this journey yet the results are there.

Again, congratulations!

Take care of yourself, and welcome to the loser's bench!

EacThanks everyone. Still slow moving around. The nausea seems to be gone but still sore. Had half a thingy of jell-o. Walked to my mailbox and back. I go back to see my surgeon (Dr Teng) on Wednesday. Yes, the first 36 hours post surgery I was dry heaving almost every minute. I'm certain it was the anesthesia. I kept reassuring myself this was the right move and over time I'd come to appreciate how right this all was. I really think I owe a deep gratitude to the members of VST. Your stories, kind words and encouragement put me on the road to a much better life. Each passing day I feel stronger. It really is nice over on the Loser's Bench.

Dr Teng used the 32f bougie and the endostitch with hand stitch. I saw my new stomach during the leak test. It actually looks like a Cuban cigar! Albeit longer. Well I'm gonna walk and then rest. Chat with ya later.

LOL, @ Cuban cigar. Glad you made it through. I know its tough going with the pain and all, but I think you did the right thing for your mental and physical health. If it helps, imagine all the things you are gonna be doing once you are all healed. It must of felt sweet to be repulsed by crispy bacon, I couldn't imagine that right now. Congrats

Oh it got even better, CT. She made homemade spaghetti with pomodoro sauce. Was I repulsed? Not a lot but I didn't want any! I'm gonna try some broth today. I can feel some hunger kicking in. The jell-o was ok but I'm starting not to like a lot of sweets. Also, everyone in the Vegas valley. Dr Teng's support group is tonight at MountainView. I'm thinking of going and would love to see any of you there.

Congrats! Welcome to the losers' bench!!!
