Well, add me to the sleeved family list!! I was sleeved Tuesday and was able to come home yesterday afternoon!! I'm really pleased to report that the pain has been very tolerable and I had none of the gas pains I've read about. I have to admit that Tuesday I really fought the urge to run out of the hospital kicking and screaming..I had such a case of 2nd thoughts and doubts but I'm so glad I went through with it. The first day and maybe even a little the second day I fought off thoughts questioning what I've done to myself but I know that in the long run, this is the best thing I could do for me and for my family. So today it's all about walking and sipping!

Oh, and for those of you who have yet to go....I made a few casseroles and freezer meals for when I came home and knew I wouldn't want to cook. Last night my husband popped on in and they had a hot, healthy meal and I was able to maintain my couch position. Just a thought for any of you who may be planning your recovery :-)

Lots of love,

Kristin

Hi Kristen, it's good to hear you are doing well. Those of us still to be sleeved (such as this coming Tuesday - gulp!) appreciate your thoughtfulness in not dwelling on the negative. :) Your idea of preparing some food ahead of time for your family makes you a better woman than I am. My husband will be fending for himself for a few days after I get home - ha!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
