Well, here's my story, so far! I was sleeved on 3/7/2013. I was in a good amount of pain but surgery went really well. I had a hard time breathing because of Gas from the surgery was so bad and stuck around my ribs. They gave me a binder and that worked wonders. On Friday I was doing pretty good, they started me on liquids and they were trouble at first because they kept hitting air pockets, but then I learned to sip even smaller and it all started to become a little easier. Everything was actually going really well! Saturday, started as the best day yet, and I showered and walked and dried my hair and things were looking really good and I was supposed to head home... Wellllll after that morning, things headed south. I started having the worst bouts of nausea & dry heaves. They tried finergan & Zofran and finally that seemed to help a little. Still feeling pretty awful. I couldn't sip or anything without trying to puke. I kept hoping this would pass soon, my stomach was now hurting really bad and I felt extreme weakness. I didn't expect this at all ???? Now Dr. was having me stay thru that night. Which was fine, I'd like to be home but not feeling like that. I also started running a low grade fever so they also gave me something for that through my IV. I woke up about 4:00 drenched in sweat. Fell back asleep. Just woke up, it's 4:30 here, and I'm feeling really good again. Trying not to think about what is going to happen if I sip something. That's when it all went downhill yesterday. I pray that I'm through the worst of it. I had thought Day 1 was the worst, kept hearing Day 3 would be. It was. It was awful. I feel like I'm hopefully on the downhill side of it all and it will just get better from here.

Now it's 11:00 and I just got through sipping some broth. Tiny, tiny sips and its staying down!! Doc just called and said to watch me for another hour and if all stays well I can go home! I'm super excited and hope things keep looking up!

Good luck to all my fellow & future sleevers! Prayers to all of you!!

Ugh I hope you feel better soon!!
