Hey guys, so I was sleeved this morning at 11... I'm not feeling too bad except I have painfull cramping in my new tummy

I was been walking lots but its just not going away ... Any tips?

Thanks and merry Christmas

This is just day one so just take it easy and walk. The pain won't just go away right away but u will feel fine in no time! I wish u the best of luck and congrats on ur new journey!!!

Congratulations and I see that you got a great present- your sleeve that is. Let me tell you that you are smart for walking around. I was in pain and under so much medications that I was out of it and I refused to walk like I should have. Girl listen- I ended up in so much pain from the gas that I had to stay in the hospital an extra day and when I got home I was in pain. I had to do like everyone said and to walk. Before i knew it i was fine and you will be too.

I only had gas pains while I was in the hospital, but I walked A LOT. I mean like every two hours, making circles all around the bariatric floor all night and day. I also found that while in the hospital elevating my bed to make me sit up straight and the de-elevating it almost where I was almost flat on my back helped shift the gas around and ease the pain significantly.

In hospital now waiting to have ny sleeve in an hour. Feeling like what the heck im gonna do i wanna leave!!

Praying of you right now!!! Keep us posted

The best thing to do is walk, walk, walk. You will feel better soon. Congrats on the sleeve.

Great gift to yourself!!!! I'm 5 days post op and no regrets. Had a couple hurdles when I got home....but I'm working thru it. Have to self inject Claxon to prevent clotting....but I did it myself today!!! Only 6 days left of that!!!! Other hurdle was the wound from the drain....I have to change the gauze each day, but that's looking good now too. I feel like such a badass!

Have a great holiday and just keep walking - and drinking each hour when they allow it.!!!!

Best of luck.

Just thought I'd give a little update, I'm having to stay an extra day in hospital as I'm not able to keep any liquids down.. Water.. sugar free Gatorade or crystal lite, hot or warm. it seems as soon as I wake from a tiny nap I throw up the last Water I drank. Did any of you guys go through this and how long till you were better?

Thanks

Hey girlygirl.. How's the recovery going??? It's been 48 hours since I've had surgery, & I'm only ready to go home!!! The nausea has gone away, thank God.. And I'm walking around the hospital unit every few hours or so!! Hope all is well with you & your recovery!!!

Congrats! What a great start to the New Year. You will feel better day by day...welcome to the club!

Walking really does help. The cramping is good... my doc says he wants to see/hear movement in your tummy.

I was sleeved 2 days ago 25/12 surgery day n the day after was terrible. Today im home n much better
