I had my surgery on Monday Sept. 12, 2013.

I had a few complications that had nothing to do with the sleeve and everything to do with my body being a jerk! Lol!

I am supper sensitive to anesthesia, and my body thought it wasn't really necessary to breathe when it was in my system. Umm, I beg to differ, lol! Came out with an O2 mask, then a different one, then a cannula.

I also found out that I am allergic to morphine. NOT the time to find that out! It caused an instant headache and I heaved really hard a couple of times, even with multiple anti-emetics on board.

They gave me liquid and IV pain meds to try and get rid of the headache, but it finally went away on its own.

I have had no pain meds since 2am on Tuesday, and was discharged later that am. I have already gone back to work.

I have lost 8.6lbs from my pre-surgery am weight.

I did have some swelling of my sleeve due to the heaving, which limited my Fluid intake, but that alleviated itself by Thursday.

I am really ready to start this new life! My husband had this surgery Dec. 31, 2012. He had no complications and has lost 80lbs. This tells me that I really can do this, and so can you!!!

I always love to hear about people who go into the future, have their surgery and came back in time to tell us about it. ~

Welcome to the losers bench! It's a bumpy ride at first, but since your husband did it already, you probably already knew that.

Anyways, congrats!

Sorry you had to deal with all of that stuff! Hopefully the complications are over and you can get on with your sleeved life. I was sleeved on March 8, and am down 86 lbs, and 2 lbs below my surgeon's goal. I couldn't be happier with the whole experience, and wish you luck and success!

Thanks everybody! I am learning that I do have some physical limitations, to be expected with such extreme caloric restrictions, but I am determined to make this work!
