BullRidinMomma2011 20 Posted May 7, 2013 Hi, I was sleeved yesterday at 11 am and I feel great! My surgery lasted 1hr 15min, during surgery DR found a significant amount of scar tissue so he went ahead and removed it. I woke up from recovery room about 1pm in "discomfort" but not pain so she gave me 1/2 dose of pain med I was good, I have been pretty much like this whole time. My main goal was to walk as much as possible so I have been walking around hospital floor about 18X which is not over exaggerating! I think this whole expierence is a wake call to how critical it is to do everything right! God bless any questions just ask Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
devonmae 56 Posted May 7, 2013 Congrats! I was up every morning in the hospital at 4 am walking! It really is one of the best times to get out and walk when not so many people are there. Good luck and here's to a speedy recovery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Whitney 5 Posted May 7, 2013 Congrats! We have the same date. My procedure was at 730 but I was in a considerable amt of pain/agitation until 4pm. We got the morphine& toradol combo just right to ease the pain and help me smile again! Today I'm switching to po pain meds & been up walking 6x's total. I had a in diagnosed hiatal hernia repaired with my sleeve. All in all I feel like a new woman than yesterday! I was SO moody, crazy how pain will do that to u. Keep up the good work but goes to show, everyone is different. My husband has been my right hand man, could not have done it without his constant help! Will u go home today? We plan on discharge but have a 3 hr drive home to OKC from TX. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dl663 12 Posted May 7, 2013 I was sleeved on the 6th also. No pain at all in my stomach. Only pain where he repaired a hiatal hernia. I'm walking around the hospital to relieve the gas. It really hasn't been too bad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ChristineR 128 Posted May 7, 2013 I didn't have any pain from surgery either (aside from residual gas pain in my left shoulder that cleared). Walking was easy although I found once I was home it was easy to overdo it and be super tired. I had more energy 5 days after surgery then I did on my preop diet a week before.
