In Mexicali

Just got sleeved yesterday - I think i read about the pain and nausea but *was not* prepared for that. The hospital was extremely accommodating though, giving me a ton of nausea meds and narcotics to ease the pain. Mostly, that stuff put me to sleep. I woke up this morning feeling a little better, but am still in vague pain near my drain. Drinking the three drinks they gave me has probably been the hardest thing to in my life, ha. I'm hoping this feels better by tomorrow, or by Monday when we leave to go home.

    okay, posting a more detailed post now that i'm out of bed and not vomiting.

    it's day 3 now and i've been walking the halls as much as i can. i took the barium test this morning and while it wasn't that bad, the big sips i had to take made me lose all the liquids in my belly the moment i got back to my room. since then it's been a little bit of a challenge to get down any liquids. dr campos says it's because of my esophagus spasming. another dr came in later on and told me it's quite normal to not be able to take things down or even to vomit, but to work on my breathing and it'll be okay. removing the drain wasn't that hard, but it was the best feeling not to have a drain - almost the same as taking that first shower!

    i haven't heard anything about nexium or any ppis i'm supposed to take. is that something we're supposed to go do on our own?
