Ginger tea has helped with the gas and stomach pain! I also thought I could live without gas x, heck no!

Hello all. Here goes my first post! I was sleeve on the 7th and have done far better than I ever expected. I think I had read so many horror stories I had expected the worst. I did the preop diet for 7 days and was shocked I made it that far. I lost 8 lbs pre-op and have lost 11 since surgery. No complaints there. The first two days were the worst as I had horrible chest pains. I had some issues the first night in the hospital with dangerously high blood pressure and blood sugar levels. I had to be given insulin for the first (and hopefully last) time in my life. I am able to swallow most liquids without any problems, but have pain with soups and applesauce. I tried some sf pudding the other day and was only able to eat half a pudding cup. Amazing! I went to work today for a few hours to take care of some essentials, but I tired quickly. So far I am very happy with my sleeve decision!!

I was sleeved yesterday...i love love love water and vicodin.

Hey everyone, I was sleeved on the 11th and they released me from the hospital the next day. I have had nausea and heartburn and had the doctor call me in some Zofran today. Just in case I have another issue like last night. Other then that I walk around and feel pretty good.

You just got butchered hunny, it is normal to feel pain like that. They doped me up all day with Dilaudid so I only felt bad pain as soon as I woke up the day of. Ask them to give you this anti inflammatory injection if I remember it correctly it was called Zoldol or something like that. That is the wonder drug because the next day I was feeling awful with the sharp pains. I have been pretty good since that injection and all you need is one. Good luck

I was sleeved on feb 5. I experienced pain for a week after mine and still have a hard time feeling comfortable enough to sleep well. Hang in there it will get better! Remember the end result!

I did when I had to have a deep breath. It got better day after day. They said its from your lungs expanding onto your new stomach.

Good thinking. I like hearing everyone's progress as I'm preparing for my sleeve next Friday.

Did anyone have a morphine pca?

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?
