Had my surg earlier today. Can u share your hospital stay story?? Were your vitals normal post op?

Congratulations! I was sleeved on 12/31. My vitals were good, blood sugar was really high, everything else was OK. You are doing good because I didn't want to go online, text, or even talk on the phone after surgery. I slept, walked after 4 hours, and then every hour or two. Hang in there!

Congratulations!! walk, walk, walk!! dont wait til you get pain to ask for pain medicine. Kind of get it regularly to keep you comfortable.. hope you have a speedy and smooth recovery

I was sleeved today too!! Mostly sleeping it off today. Walked a little. Sugar was high. Back to normal now. Blood pressure all over the place but getting under control.

This has not been a bad experience at all. So far!!!

Congrats on the sleeve!! My vitals were always normal. Make sure you walk as much as possible, it really helps move the gas. I would take a nap, get up and walk, read, take a nap, and back to walking...

Good luck!!

Keep your pain under control. Get meds for nausea if needed too. Walk as much as possible. My blood pressure was up only when I let myself get painful.

So far no gas!!

Keep walking!

Not sure how your typing! I was out if it for two days after that anesthesia! Anyways, congrats!

Sip sip sip... Walk walk walk... Roll to different sides in the bed....

Wow!!!!! Congratulations guys. Im glad to here that u are doing well post op. Im also glad this forum was created bcus i will be sleeved in 2weeks and my biggest concern is post op (pain and nausea). My surgery date is Jan 24th.

Like jwhite692 said, I too wish I was feeling good enough to type after surgery. I was in considerable pain and the morphine drip I had didn't do much to relieve the gas pressure. My blood pressure was running up in the 190/102 level for the day and my blood sugar was 158 (even though I hadn't eaten anything for more than 24 hours). But it was all back to normal by the 2nd day after surgery.

I didn't want to but I did get up and walk the halls every 2 hours. It did make me feel better. Good luck with your recovery.

Update: going home today. No complications. Taking liquids slow and fine. No nausea. A tad of gas but not killing me. Leak test done and passed. Main issue is incision pain still but that will improve. I try to walk once an hour and practice deep breaths. Still in shock i did this but now it is time to work with it. Had a little break down yesterday, i was a bit overwhelmed mixed with incision pain. Cried like a baby. Thanks to all of you for support. .
