August Sleevers?! Where Ya's At?

[Bethany 10]

My surgery was Tuesday. Just wondering if any of you who are already sleeved had a "foamy" mouth and throat after?? I don't know wht it means but my PA said it happens. I want to know when it'll go away because itoften caus more nausea for me.

I also have such a swollen sleeve that if I have more then one tiiiiiny sip of Water my chest/asophagus burns. so I'm having a hard time taking anything in. Also anything besides water (and even water t times) is making me sick. Even while on zofran.

I also keep getting a light fever... Which is apparently normal but it just is another thing to add to the list...

Bethany I have different issues but swelling is one of them. Today they gave me Valium and liquid ibuprofen because they feel the benefits will out weigh the risks. I was able to eat a few ounces of yoghurt today and got in six ounces of Water for the first time. You might ask about it.

So glad to hear that you are doing well. It will really get better every day. Take care and rest up as much as you can.

Thanks! It has gotten better each day. I had to stay in the hospital two nights because I couldn't keep anything down. I dealt with gas pains the first night but after that no pain....only nausea. The nausea is gone today and I'm keeping liquids down so it is so true what you and everyone else says....its gets better each day. Thanks for the support!

[CNTWT2BMINIME 78]

YAY! I'm home! It will be so nice to sleep in my own bed tonight. Takin' it one day at a time. So glad I made this choice for ME!

Well we are still enjoying Tijuana the girls I have met here are amazing strong loving women and their spouses are wonderful . I feel pretty darn groovy for the most part I have grumbly gas that creeps up my chest but am working it out. I am focusing on hydration and the magical moment my drain will be pulled. My husband says I am smiling more since I had my surgery than I have in a long time . I think it's because I have a tool now that will make my efforts bare fruit . Yukon and I are playing with the idea of getting tattoos here lol we are having a blast faith is wonderful and kind and llm is amazing and strong and her spouse is super sweet sigh I am so glad I have found all of you online.

My surgery was Tuesday & was discharged yesterday at 12. So far my biggest issue is nausea. Have a prescribing for Zofran & it helps.

The other issue is my post-op weight had me at 220.5, so I gained nearly 10 pounds! I am sure it is from IV fluids.

My first two days after i felt like my mouth was puffy. At some point either they scratched my tongue and lip or i bit them... both areas ulcerated. As soon as the nausea went away i brushed my whole mouth basically to make it feel not so yucky. My surgery was monday and I'm just now able to take about an ounce of liquid at a time. I would get a tight cramp in my chest. They also repaired a hiatal hernia and the nurse said thats probably really swollen and causing that problem. I'm ready for these stomach spasms to go away. Warm broth seemed to help yesterday. Hang in there it slowly gets better.

I was sleeved on Tuesday a di must say the1st 24 hours were the worst I have ever experienced. And I've had a lot of surgeries so that is saying something. But everyone is right once you get past the first day it gets much better. I had dry heaves the first day constantly. The zofran, patch, and protonix never helped. I finally told them no more drugs and let my system just get rid of everything. Now I'm about to go home and u feel a thousand times better. I can't get in a ton of Water but I am getting about 30 onces in. I really feel like once I stopped tAking all he pain meds and stuff thT really helped. Hope others don't have these issues because that first day I was really regretting this. But so much better now.

Hey sleevers,

(some TMI)

My surgery was the 28th (Tuesday) and I have been so miserable. All I want to do is sleep... I force myself up to walk around the room every hour or two and take deep breaths, half the time using the spirometer.

seems like everything makes me throw up even though I am on zofran,

I started using the subpositories and it works better... Just had a Popsicle, it was so nice to have a non-nasty taste in my mouth for once and know I'm getting some liquids at the same time.

I do have problems with taking all of my meds and Vitamins without throwing them back up.. I still have "foam" in my mouth and when I throw up, it's just more foam.

Anyway, I just wanted to see if it is a normal thing for us to feel so miserable the first few days or weeks? Thank you!

Ps: if this didn't all make sense i blame the drugs!

Don't worry. I was the same way. . . only I was taking phenagren and zofran and even turning on the TV made me throw up. The spirometer. . . forget about it! I could not speak, move or think, much less drink without vomiting. . . well actually, dry heaving, because I was beyond empty. My doctor told me that 2-5% of people react that way and that it is mostly due to the anesthesia. I spent 2 nights in the hospital (my surgery was on a Tuesday too) and finally went home late Thursday afternoon. Even then, it took me a couple more days for the nausea to subside. Subside, however, it did. Yours will too. Hang in there.

Bethany: I had the same experience. Everything made me nauseous, even gas x strips. They finally gave me Ativan ( sublingual ) and Toradol for pain which is non narcotic. Narcotic pain meds can make you more nauseous. That combo made all the difference for me and I immediately began to feel better. I was throwing that frothy crap, all meds, and anything else I swallowed. The Ativan did the trick.

I hope they find something that works for you soon!
