Yesterday 3/20 I was sleeved. It's the morning after surgery as I'm writing this.

Surgeon says my surgery went just like in a textbook. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the good luck will continue.

Didn't get much sleep at all - nurses have been in and out of my room all night. At least some bring pain medicine with them.

Speaking of pain, the gas inside me us what hurts the most. That and trying to breathe. I'd thought for sure it'd be my stomach hurting, not my chest!

So glad to be "on the other side". I have a long way to go, but I'm ready!

Pretty good writing for the morning after!

Yes, that gas gets some folks. I understand that they balloon up your chest and belly area to give them room. Sometimes the gas goes to a shoulder for some reason. I never had a problem with it but a lot of folks do.

I had 2 surgeries close together; my gall bladder insisted on coming out 2 weeks before my sleeve surgery. Isn't that time displacement weird? I go to sleep and wake up, no sense of time passing. I always have something funny ready to say to the recovery room nurse. This time it was, "Was it a boy or a girl?"

Congratulations!! Welcome to the other side!
