I was sleeved on july 10th, I spent the first 2 nights in the hosp. I was hooked up to a fabulous pca pump for day 1 and half of day 2 and we were very good buds. Then they started givin me the ukk Lortabs elix. It works, but tastes bad, I got alot of good sleep on my comfy hosp bed. All the staff were great and took good care of me. I was able to get up and walk quite a bit, but Thank God I did not suffer from the notorious gas. I think they took it all out for me. I did and am still having some pain. Feels like someone beat the heck out of my abd. All in all it was not a great experience, but it is going to be better everyday and I am not sorry I did it at all. My surgeon is great and said the surgery went well. I am on full liq now for a couple weeks and am tolerating that pretty well. I haven't vomited any, but I have bad heartburn. Hopefully that will end soon. I have Zofran for that and it helps. The surgeon said it is from my esophagus being raw.The best part for me is I am off all my diabetic pills and some of my bp pills. As long as neither goes up I can stay off them for the first time in yrs. I am a happy camper right now. Just wanted to report. I was at Park Plaza in Houston and Dr. Sherman Yu was the surgeon. I would recommend them both. Right now I am up and down without any problems, just mostly taking it easy for a few days. No weight loss yet, but I think that is pretty average.

Congrats!
