Jenah. I'm so sorry to hear about your attack. :( at least now you have about 15 new buddies on here who can walk you through it. :)

Hope everyone is well. I earned anothrr night in the hospital because I can't hold anything down. They switched my meds and holefully it does the trick.

Henan I'm so sorry to hear that but I too was nervous. It's a big step but you will soon be on the loser bench after awhile. So April 1st we all will be waiting to c u

Jenah I meant

3 days post-op, I was able to actually rest last night, I feel slightly less sore. I am having some stabbing pain on the right side of my chest. I hope it's gas and not a blood clot. I am walking and using a heating pad. I will call my dr or go to the ER if it doesn't get better.

In the meantime any other suggestions?

Katia...i'm also 3day postop and everything u wrote is exactly what im going thru. I feel a lot better today.using my heat pad and walking as much as I can. I had a sharp pain on my left side last night but I think it was either gas or my incision. I feel swollen still so i'm afraid to get on scale and see that I gained. May just wait until next week to weigh in. what r u eating? I drink water and only half a popsicle a day!!!

I got on the scale once I got home. I had gained 10lbs but as of this morning I m down 8. I am having proteinblitz, I tried isopure it was horrible. I am also taking chicken broth, jello and warm tea. Warms things are awesome.

Thanks everybody this time I am excited, I know I will have no problem because Xanax does work. I havent even really told anyone except for you guys. I want to surprise them! Its gonna be on April 1st lol so Im gonna play a trick on facebook lol I tried Xanax yesterday and I felt no fear! Thanks for your support!

I was sleeved Monday the 18th all went well but I had terrible nausea right after surg. And for the next few days. What we've learned so the hole coming from my esophagus into my stomach is near closes. All liquid I was dying to take ended up in my esophagus and then lungs. Now I have pneumonia. They have been feeding me by iV and talking about sending me home with an iV. I would like them to put a scope down my esophagus just to what it looks like. My drs are convinced its just swelling. I should know Moore soon. Be grateful we were able to have the surgery.

Guys I had a panic attack on the way to the hospital and therefore had to cancel but I am rescheduled for April 1. They have now given me meds for the panic attacks so I should be fine. I am keeping my fingers crossed. I am trying it today and so far its working.

I hope you feel better and by April 1 everything is a breeze!!!

6 days post-op- last night I was able to sleep on my right side. It was Amazing!!! I am close to getting the 64oz, yesterday I got to 61oz. This is probably TMI, but I also had 5 BM yesterday, and one again this morning... Lol

Omg the shoulder pain..uuggg. yes I had that as well up until yesterday. They said it is gas and it will work its way out. It sure doesn't feel like any gas I've ever had before lol.

I am happy to hear you are all patched up now. How long after surgery did you find out you were bleeding?

Sleeved on the 19th too. Was feeling fantastic until last night when I got him with horrible gas pains. From my left shoulder all around my middle, sides and back. Pain was so intense I couldn't hardly move. Continuing into today, though not as severe.

Does anyone know if this gas pain comes and goes? It just shocked me because I thought I was through with it. Sure hope it's not a sign of something more serious.
