Hi everyone; I am sleeved as of 3pm yesterday! Normally I would enter this as a blog, but I'm in hospital still and using my phone so positing in the forum is easier. I will blog more detail later.

I am doing really REALLY well. Not gonna lie, it hurt when I woke up from surgery and I combatted a few waves of nausea but I was able to breathe through it and not heave. The pain was eventually taken care of when they got me dialed in on the right meds. I was up every 2 hrs during the night to use the bathroom. Feeling quite perky this morning & waiting for the Dr. I know I'm here til this afternoon. I am kinda bored actually. But very VERY happy! The staff here is awesome & my husband is an angel & a very good nurse :)

I know if I keep feeling this frisky I will need to MAKE myself take it easy, because I don't want to over do it and feel bad later.

To my fellow 5/22 sleeves - hope you all are doing well too!

I am glad to hear your doing well. I had my band to sleeve revision plus a hiatal hernia repair on May 6th. I was uncomfortable for a few days but no strong pain. I came home and felt great on day 3 just tired. I was a bit depressed because I came home 8 pounds heavier due to Water weight. I have since lost that plus about 14 pounds. I have been over doing it which is easy to do and if your like me and can't sit still that is easy to do so be careful and take it easy. I have had a wonderful recovery. I am 17 days out and I am on soft foods. I have tried some moist chicken and ground beef and have had no problems. I just eat a tiny bit and I am full. You will both do great!

Thanks for the well wishes! @Staci, I am in Castle med ctr on Oahu. Please try not to worry too much, the nurses are here to help you & will manage your pain. It's a very distant memory for me already.

@sherry sounds like u r doing great! I have no doubt all the fluids have added temp weight but that's cool; I won't weigh for a week.

Dr came & said all is well. I did 1 oz Water & now working on 1 oz broth. It is relish! :P

Onward!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
