Tomorrow is day 11 post op. Doing ok, can't wait to get past liquid stage :-) Few moments where I have questioned what I have done, few tears but feel like the corner has been turned as I get stronger and drinking the Water gets easier :-)))))

Just wondered how other Edinburgh/Scotland sleevers are doing on their journeys? All encouragement gratefully accepted!

Still sore and lightheaded but at least I'm in my own bed and with my own duvet. Catching up on corrie. Lol

That's great to hear.. This first little bit is a pain to get through but it's so worth it! Shout if you need any advice or anything.. Not that I'm a pro!! Bed is the best place to be

Had my surgery 18 September. Everything went well although I seemed to spend a long time in the recovery room. Thursday was a day from hell. Couldn't get a needle in to my veins correctly with the result I didn't get enough pain relief. Finally sorted out Thursday afternoon. Haven't really suffered too much from the gas as have been in and out of my bed as I have been unable to sleep. Friday morning went for my barium meal and that was ok. Discharged back to my hotel. Nurse came to hotel on Saturday morning, gave me my shot, checked my wounds and I was free to go. Flew back to Scotland yesterday afternoon, had 5 tablespoons of soup and finally slept in my own bed. Got up this morning and I'm feeling on top of the world. Have put a washing on and I'm sipping water. Hope you're feeling better Aggie 1234.

Hi looby Lou. Glad to hear your feeling better. I'm feeling worse than yesterday. Back pain is out of this world. Never suffered so much. I'm wondering if it's gas or it really is back pain or is it because I've not moved around alot

Take your pain killers if you have.. I was like a zombie for nearly two weeks.. I had so much pain heaving my large body around that I couldn't say for sure if I experienced back pain!! That gas is not a great feeling, I felt it mostly near my shoulders, but it could be transferred to your back.. Also watch kidneys hope you feel better, don't let the pain get you down!! Rest, relax, recouperate
