Lets Rock this sleeve tomorrow!!! Stay positive, be excited for all the amazing changes to come!! I can't wait for tomorrow, however my surgery is at 3pm!!

Mine is at 12:30... so not a WHOLE lot better. I'm up drinking Water until my cuttoff time. I have little veins and I HATE IV's. I'm feeling very very at peace and happy. No concerns, just excited and ready! Thank you everyone for your thoughts, prayers, and kind words!!

I will update everyone once I am home from the hospital tomorrow (hopefully)

Good luck to everyone else having their sleeve today too!! We are doing it!!!!!!

Good luck to all being sleeved today! I'll be joining you on the losers bench next week

I was sleeved late on Monday the 19th and home by 6:30pm on tuesday. I slept in a recliner last night, which wasn't all that comfortable. My arms are hurting!

I've had the evil sharp gas pains in my shoulder that come and go. I'm afraid to take pills but wasn't given any other options. Clear liquids are going down well. Wishing I could lay down in my bed! I know each day will get better! How is everyone else???

I am new hear please keep me posted on how u feel i get sleeved feb 2013 excited & scared @ the same time get well soon

My surgery went very well. I got to leave the hospital Tuesday afternoon. I was not able to pass any gas until last night though. Since I was moving around so well they weren't concerned. I also had trouble with my bladder waking up, but now things are going well. It is hard to get enough Water in. Big sips= big chest pain. It's the weirdest thing. The worst part for me is all the nasty medications they make you take. I'm on a stool softner twice a day (nasty tasting!), prilosec liuid (super NASTY), ,liquid pain medication (the lesser of nastiness)...

I HIGHLY recommend a heating pad. I slept with one the entire night in the hospital and last night at home too. It helped A LOT.

I was up walking as much as I could. Actually, they had me do less than I wanted to do, but that was okay.

Stage 1 foods the first part after surgery. The next morning they changed it to Stage 2 foods, full, smooth liquids.

I did a barium swallow the morning after surgery, and that went good. No leaks.

I did have a couple moments when I cried and wondered what in the world I did to myself. I'm not in a whole lot of pain, but there is definite discomfort. The worst incision pain is the biggest one. It like indented and deformed my stomach in that spot. It's quite gross... my husband has been really good and supportive. He's calmed me down and reminded me of the reasons I did the procedure. It will get better. The first part just hasn't been overly fun.

Also, my mom commented that I already look like I've lost weight since the surgery.. so I went in and weighed myself to find that I gained 12 pounds. That made me laugh. Water weight... but still!! I wasn't planning on weighing myself at all until my 2 week post op appt. We will see if I can hold off until then from now on.

Good luck to all those getting sleeved soon!
