Hey everyone! Just started this thread for the post op octosleevers of 2012. I had my surgery yesterday and all is well. Gas pain is terrible but I've been walking around. Full fluid dinner tonight. Sippin on my oh, cream soup and pudding. They saline locked my IV, catheter is out and I love walking around. Nausea and pain are so far under control. I'm giving myself 3 hours to finish this meal

I had my surgery 10/9. I can relate to Tiffani as I have had a lot of pain. :/ I think most of it is from where the drain is. I seem to tolerate liquids well and the gasx really helped. They wouldn't let me have the gasx in the hospital. I also used a binder when I got home whichmwasmhelpful! Thank goodness for this forum! I also have headaches that I am sure is from medication, but for now I need the stronger meds. Looking forward to feeling better!

I saw my surgeon yesterday. He lifted all restrictions except for super heavy weights in the gym. He td me that is the beauty of laparascopic sleeving. I cant hurt the inside with activity. So i have been cleaning and painting and hope to start the gym next week. 9 days out. 13 pounds since op day, 33 down from highest weight

Checking in. 6 more days here!! Keep ip the good work group:-)

Today is a little better, I get to go home! I have had headaches yesterday. I was able to do a bowel movement today!!!! Yay and I've been passing gas! My two incisions hurt the worst but tolerable I just wanna go home and sleep comfortable! No interruptions! still don't have an appeteite as much, I got my CT Scan done and they said the lower part of my lungs haven't expanded like they should, but I'm taking a day at a time!

Keep using that blue sucky thing!

I was sleeved three days ago...anybody else suffering from wicked diarrhea? I haven't eaten anything other than chicken broth, crystal light and a few Popsicles. Honest to Pete, this is worse than the magnesium citrate I took before the surgery.

Auggie... I had the same problem 3 days out...it lasts for about 2 days and it goes away on its own. I know its bad, but it will stop.

I just had surgery Tuesday night and my incisions are already itchy, is that common? And what does it mean that their itchy? Im not itching them..

Mine itched like crazy too. I think it means they are healing and drying up.

Had sleeve yesterday, home today. Feel good although I do have some gas, trying to walk a lot I did get up right away in the hospital and walked every two hours I did a few laps. Drinking is a little tough, defiantly need to sip slowly! All in all, not bad. I'm a happy girl except for the six pounds I gained from all the fluids in the hospital. UGH

Oh and no pain meds i don't like how they make me feel and i don't really need them

I had surgery Monday, I came home Tuesday Night. Pain Med Free. I only ask for pain med once. I was very surprised not much pain. MY mouth is awfully chapped. Woke up after surgery that way. My vision is changing I cant see with my reading glasses now I could see fine before surgery. No major stomach issues. BM has been 3 times and very loose. I am on soft foods for 4 weeks. Building up the protein seems so hard Of course I cant eat but about 4 bites every few hours. My sugar has dropped by 100 points

I was sleeved 10/9 first two days post op were hell ...

Lots of spasms and nausea , had to stay an extra day in hospital bc could not keep anything down . Today I feel like a brand new person able to get in fluid and shakes just have to sip sip sip takes all day .... I hope everyone is doing well ... I'm officially on the losers bench

I passed out yesterday and had to be transported via ambulance to the hospital. I did not fully come to until the paramedics got there. I saw my surgeon today and he said everything looks fine with my sleeve. I am still weak and tired. Everything I eat makes me nauseous. I do not like feeling good. I'm very afraid if I don't go back to work soon I will have to quit. I feel horrible
