[ahealthyneci 7]

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?

Hello February Sleevers! I was just sleeved on Monday, 2/11. I have some pain but my Tylenol 3 seems to handle it fine. Looking forward to keeping in touch with you all.

Did anyone have a morphine pca?

I did and it made me very sick. Within minutes I would be trying to vomit. They switched it out with something else and I had no issues.

Did anyone have a morphine pca?

I had the morphine pca and made me nauseas something terrible. They took me off of that and put me on IV Tylenol and IV ibuprofen (this NSAID was okay because it wasn't going through my stomach), and they did the job. That said, I really never experienced much pain. I cannot begin to tell you how grateful I am for that!

It was ok. I didnt use it much. I too had tylenol and it was great. I used the morphine to sleep mainly

Just had my first follow up appointment. I've lost 20% of my excess weight and I've been cleared for a regular diet. The only stipulation is I have to over chew everything.
