Hello Friends,

I just wanted to post since I know I lived on the forum before today. I was sleeved today at 1:00 pm. I got sleeved iin San Antonio,Tx. I came in today they had me take a pee test to ensure I wasn't pregnant and then hooked me up on fluids. The fluids are to replace the nutrients that you may have cleaned out from the day before. (the magnesium citrate) They give me the margarita from my IV then I went straight to surgery. I remember the mask coming on and thats it. They say I was in recovery for 1 hour before putting me in my room which was nice because when I woke up my hubby was there. I weighed 245 preliquids and 240 this morning. I was in and out and had very minimal pain. Some people mentioned a q-ball for pain so you can control the pain medication for your incinsions, I have that. It's wonderful and they say I can take it home if I want to and take it out myself when it's empty. I wasn't really awake until 6:00pm. I went to the bathroom and took my first walk. What I did was push my medecine before I got up so my walk was not too bad. I have read before the first night is the worst, I assume the anestegia wears off so that scares me right now but right now I feel great and just wanted to share because today I wasn't nervous coming in and being put under, I was worried about the pain when I woke up. Another thing...gas strips my Dr. said I can start taking gas strips immediatley so i have been. The hospital did noybsupply these i had to bring them. I also recommend someone staying with you. When I do my walks some people don't have anyone here which I considered but it's comforting having support with you.

I will be posting on my page if anyone has questions. I do not know everything but can answer questions based on my experience.

God bless fellow sleeves.

Congrats! I'm amazed at how early you were posting!!
