ANd feel pretty good considering it was only done yesterday. Surgery went well -it went faster than anticipated even with a hiatal hernia repair. Today even after they took me off the pain drip six hours ago iM just now asking for a shot. So the pain hasn't been too overwhelming. The gas is moderate and I've been drinking fairly well. Thanks to the great staff at Greater Baltimore Medical Center!

congratulations! i wish you well & a speedy recovery!

Congratulations! Glad it all went well......makes me feel a whole lot better seeing these kind of posts! Speedy recovery....

YAY!! I sure hope mine goes that well next week!! Keep posting updates...makes me feel better lol Hope your recovery goes smooth !!

Great news! im scheduled for tomorrow your post helped calm my nerves! Best of luck to you!

I had mine 4 days ago and aside from slight gas discomfort this isn't as bad as I'd thought it would be! Having trouble sleeping too, but not bad so I wish you the best of luck in a speedy recovery

So glad to hear everyone is doing so well! Good luck with your recovery. Keep us posted...it really is helpful for those of waiting....12 more days but whos countung! Lol

But the exciting part is I've lost 7 pounds in 4 days! I'm sure some of that is due to me having the majority of an organ removed from my body but I'm celebrating every pound! Hehe so including the pre op diet, I'm down 17 pounds.... My brother had the surgery 8 months ago and has lost 125 pounds!!! So excited for everyone waiting to get it!

Congrats on being sleeved. I wish a speedy recovery and welcome to the losers couch

Congrats! I'm 5 days out, feeling well. I'm glad your recovery sounds perfect! Emotionally missing food has been hard for me, but with a total of 30 lbs down with pre op diet and post op, I've got my eyes set on the future! Can't wait for some puréed yumminess. Glad all is well! Stay strong and hydrated!!

Congratulations! I am post-op 3 days out. I feel good just fighting gas pains! Doing lots of walking but still can't get rid of them. I am still excited about my journey.

Congratulations !!! Glad your doing well and hope for a speedy recovery, I'm going next Wednesday and can't wait ALREADY FOR THAT DAY !!

Your posting is helping me to not worry about the recovery, i also have a Hiatal Hernia and it wil be fix during surgery, the only thing I'm worried about is that my liquid diet has not been a great one and i only lost albs. so far :-(

TiDubb have you tried the gas-x strips that melt on your toungue?!? They work amazing!

I took gas x chewable tablets but last night I tried the heating pad suggestion--Worked Wonders! Woo Hoo!! Now that the gas is gone I am feeling the soreness from the large incision. I did not know your body did so many twists and turns when you are trying to get up and down from sittling are laying. I am so happy I found this forum.

Gratz on your sleeve, wishing you a speedy recovery!
