I got home yesterday. Surgery was good and my pain has been relatively low. It's just sore. I was so nauseous after my swallow test Thursday. I didn't want to go home. Happy I am home now. Had a full nights worth of sleep in my bed propped up with pillows! Still have lots of gas. It's annoying but not very painful. Hope everyone is doing well!!!

My incisions were sealed up with dissolving stitches and surgical glue. Anyone else have that? Had no drain. Was happy about that!

Yes. Tha gas is soooo annoying. Will it ever go away!!!!

I hope things get better for you. Hopefully, you can go home soon. Getting the liquids in is really a struggle. I hope it gets easier with time

My incisions were also sealed with glue - it's awesome! My Doctor says it's so much easier this way.

Mine are closed with glue also. And no drain either. Here's a pic

Got sleeved on Wednesday. Got discharged on Thursday. Was up walking after surgery. Got dry heaves whenever the put the pain meds in my IV. Only ate ice on Wednesday. Drank water and ate popsicles Thursday and Friday. Drinking water and soy milk today. Still walking. Feel tired after I do anything. Gas is still the worst part. Ready to be done with that.

I wasn't trying to like this stupid phone! Lol you can't see it in my pic but there is a big dent right above the middle incision. That's been giving me a lot of pain. The rest of them don't hurt. I was surprised at how clean they all looked. Hope yours get better soon!

I have that big dent of a cut too its the only cut that hurts when moving around especially when getting up and sitting down

I was sleeved on Wed too and I have that same pain and dent in my middle right side incision...I guess that is where they remove your stomach from...I feel like I have done a 1000 sit ups and my stomach is sore in that arra...other than that I have been ok...worked hard today on getting my liquids down and I did...I am just really bored with staying at home because I am usually busy...I guess now is my time to get some rest...

I don't know about the glue, but yes, I have internal dissolving stitches. Also happy with this - I scar easily

Sooooo.....anyone else like me who hasn't managed to poop in 5 days? I've been adding fibre to everything and eating pureed pear, working on the water, walking regularly and NOTHING. I know it's going to hit me at some point :(
