Official July Sleevers Postop Thread.

Well, the time has finally come. It is July and tomorrow at least 18 of us (I think) will be getting sleeved! viva la July 2nd! lol.

I saw a similar thread for June and thought this would be a good idea for support while in the hospital recovering.

I will be going in, in 28 hours to be exact. Then my life changes forever....I wish everyone the best of luck especially my independence day siblings all 28 or so of us being sleeved the first 4 days of July.

Good luck safe journeys if going to Mexico and I will see you on the losers bench where we will all be winners!

Just wondering how I will handle the pain...guess i will find out soon enough.

Ready to get back into my life as the person I always knew was hiding under here.

I was having this a lot especially yesterday...wife was gone and it was actually kinda scaring me thought I was having either a heart attack or embolism... that's when I decided I really need to get a handle on my gas... so I can tell if it is serious.... made my wife go get gasx strips and took 2 every 4 hours.

I also still have tightness when breathing... but I'm pretty sure that's still gas too. But it is scary and I don't Know how one could differentiate the gas from something serious...after my breast area it went left of my sternum where my heart is... I got up and walked a bit and it moved so I figured it was gas.

Well, the only thing left tonight is to pack a few small things and take a shower. Just a little over 12 hours before my 7:30 surgery. I'll be there at 5:30 and they can start any time after that. I'll see the rest of you on the Loser's Bench!

Yes!!!!! I was sleeved July 2 as well. Saturday it felt like something was getting stuck in my esophagus. yesterday the discomfort had moved a little lower and today about the same. I noticed I could drink more than a teeny tiny sip yesterday and today seems about the same. It really helped me to just get up and move around to ease the discomfort. tried some very soupy grits this morning, maybe 1&1/2 tbsp and experiencing a small amt of discomfort. so tired of broth. for the most part, I had very little of the post op gas pain. I guess because I just walked and walked and walked and walked. So far, doing FABULOUS! Better than I expected.
