FEBRUARY SLEEVERS 2013....how you doing after you've been Sleeved



Recommended Posts

I just came home today too. Surgery was on Tue. I have had no nausea or vomiting. My discomfort is probably a 3. My stomach feels like it is cramping from time to time but I'm having no real problem with my Water or shake as long as I take little sips. The gas pain was a real.... pain! I walked and walked in the hospital with no real relief. Not until a rough ride home through Maine potholes did I have a .... umm... release. :blink:

Yes, I agree that the gas was the worst part. I am finally letting loose in that department. LOL! Thank goodness. I am feeling a little melancholy. Anyone else?

How swollen are your bellies? My family says mines much smaller but I feel more of a pooch than before surgery... Still and I'm 7 days out... Is it just me?

I was pretty swollen until day 8. Work up today. Day nine and still little but nothing like I was.

A nurse told me that its best to drink everything at room temp or warmer until u r 10 days out bcz cold can cause the stomach to cramp. I hv 3 days till surgery..18tg..can't wait

4 days post op! Finally came home from the hospital yay! First day home. Feeling pretty good though. Never though getting up and walking and drinking four ounces would exhaust me. Lots of naps!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
