I'm sleeved! my surgery was around 10:30am PST. I'm slow out of anesthesia and waking up is never fun. It wan't painful, I just felt uncomfortable with the oxygen mask.

I arrived in my room a little before 2pm and my friend came to the room then. My first nurse was sleeved 8 months ago so we chatted some but I was very tired and starting to fall asleep on them so they let me sleep.

I felt really good when I woke up and they tried to get me up. Nausea hit me really hard so I didn't walk then but I did jet up later and walked down the hall.

Dinner was chicken broth, watered down apple juice, jello and a Popsicle. Broth worked, apple juice was ok not great and jello & Popsicle were a no go! can't do sweet.

I don't have any gas pain yet and very little pain. The nausea is the only thing bothering me so far.

Weird thing, I weighed 11lbs less today than I weighed on Thursday. Must just be water-weight.

Congratulations! I hope everything continues smoothly for you

Wooooooohoooo! Congrats on your surgery!!!!!!

I'm so happy you are doing well! I didn't have any gas problems, but my nausea was super bad. I had to stay in the hospital longer than expected, but they did everything possible to help me manage. You are very fortunate to have a nurse who has been through the procedure. I think he/she will be the greatest ally during you're stay! Take care and keep us posted!

Way to go...so glad to hear you're not in pain...make sure you continue to get your rest...I've found in the past with huge medical procedures rest can be your best friend...hopefully your mind is also at ease now that the big part is over with...you've came a long way...CONGRADS :-) !!!

Congrats! welcome to the big loser's club!

Wohoo! Congratulations and good luck!!!

THATS AWESOME!!! WELCOME TO THE LOSERS BENCH!!! AND PLY GOOD LUCK TO YOU TOMORROW.. IM SURE YOU WILL HAVE SMOOTH SAILING.

Glad to hear you are doing well. Hopefully mine goes as smoothly next week. Keep in touch and let us know how you are doing.

Congratulations on being an official "sleever"! I too had tremendous problems with nausea. They were able to give me something to help control it, thank goodness. Keep us posted on how you are doing.

Still doing well! They drew blood this morning and took out the catheter. I was up walking in the middle of the night. I seem to be burping quite a bit. I was able to swallow my thyroid pill this morning and they are going to transition me to oral pain meds. I think I forgot to mention they fixed a hiatal hernia while they were inside.

Congratulations! I'm glad you are doing so well. It gives me hope for once I get sleeved.

Glad that your surgery went well and that you are on your way to your new life. I had the nausea also and continured for about 2 weeks but they gave me meds for stomach acid and after that I was fine. I could not eat or drink everything that they brought me after surgery either. Do not worry about it as it will all come in good time. Drink what you can and that is all you can ask of yourself. Glad that you are up doing a little walking also.
