I just got approved! But now I'm scared! I'm afraid of the pain that everyone seems to have postoperative. I'm afraid of losing my hair. I'm worried if I'll be able to get all my nutrients in.... Could u Plz tell me ur exp. immed after surg n the days that followed

I was sleeved one week ago today. My Dr did'nt want me up and walking on the same day. I had a pain pump, so I really stayed ahead of any pain. (if I did, the dilauded fixed it, because there really was'nt ANY). You will get cotten mouth, so I was able to use the sponge on a stick to clean my mouth. I was also able to "swish and spit" to help with being thirsty. As for gas....didnt really have any of that either. I did have a slight fever, and low blood pressure; easily fixed. The only issues I had were water retention from head to toe. That came off as soon as I got home. And the one time i did have nausea was after the swollow study....ick!!! Everyone is so different. Just as I, you will heal in your own way. Good luck! Keep us updated!!
