Thank You guys for everything. I am feeling well except the gas causing my back, shoulder and chest. I am tolerating the clear liquids reply well. I'm still here at the hospital.

Glad your doing well. I have my surgery on the 17th and it is coming on fast.

Wishing you continued success and a speedy recovery!!

Congrats and good luck to you. Keep on walking and keep on sipping and use your spirometer if you have one.

Welcome to the loser's bench

glad you came through your surgery and are feeling well. here's to the start of your new life!

Day one for your brand new baby tiny little stomach--day one of a better, healthier life for you. Congrats.

Thank You Everyone!!!! It's day #6 post op and I still don't have any buyers remorse. The only thing I kept my receipt for is the dreaded old stinky booty gas. I still have a tinge of it but its tolerable. I have done everything from the world wide web, doctors and nurses, this page and my mother's old school Mississippi remedies to aide me. Never thought a classy southern belle like myself would wish for free flowing and easy passing gas. With all that said, I do realize how blessed I am to only have that problem. If it wasn't for old man gas, I would swear on a stack of 15 pieces of bacon and testify to a whole congregation of strawberry cheese cakes that I didn't have surgery. Sure...I'm not really eating yet and just sipping in small amounts but I had no pain from the surgery or incisions. While in the hospital I received a few miscellaneous meds and pain meds for pooping and gas related pains. I came home with liquid pain meds but never even popped the seal. Everything is healing up nicely. I promised not to weigh myself til post op appointment but my pj bottoms feels really lose now. I bought them for the hospital stay not knowing that just because they have a cute little string that they could be pulled tighter. Who makes (designs) clothes for plus size people????

For all of my sleeve vets....I wish you all continued success and to the future sleevers...best decision of my life. I wish you all the best. Stay Encouraged!!!!
