Home from Surgery! Finally post op!

Hi all! I was sleeved Friday 2/22 and was discharged from hospital today. It's been a rough couple of days. Although the pain is much better now, all you sleevers must prepare yourself for pain. You will be full of gas and be very sore. It is not comfortable at all trying to sleep! Everyone reacts differently from surgery. Unfortunately I was very nauseous and was throwing up the first day. It was hard to hold Down Jello or tea or anything! I did not really take much morphine due to the nauseousness however I did get relief from different meds! The first 2 days are the worst! Just waiting for my post op drs appt on Thursday!

I've always heard that after the third day it gets easier. Hang in there.

I was sleeved on thursday and I told my surgeon that I get nausea from anethesia or pain meds so they gave me a patch behind my ear to help with the nausea. I felt lightheaded when I woke up and just couldn't stay awake. I had one dose of pain med then that was it. I only feel one of my stitches when I move about. Just remember to walk as soon as you can. that's what's going to help with the gas. I didn't really feel any gas pains...either that or I don't know what it feels like...lol

Hope you're feeling better and better each day Tropical Girl. I was able to get out and do a 1.5 mile stroll...it was so slow I don't even consider it a walk, but it's still helpful. Best of luck to you

We have the same story! I was sleeved Friday and had bad nausea. Luckily no vomiting. I have my post op appointment on Thursday also! So far I'm trying to get my liquids down. So scared of dehydration. Hope our days get easier. good luck!
