Had my surgery at 9:45 this morning, woke up in the recovery room around 1pm. He took out my gallbladder to which is why it took so long. I've already walked a few times and have been up to pee three times so the nurses seem happy with that.

Only ice chips so I'm crazy thirsty and the little heart monitor keeps going of which is getting annoying but the nurse listened to my heart with her stethoscope and she said everything was fine. Pain doesn't seem too bad. I went the first 5 hours in my room before I requested any and I've had more a couple times since then. Burping like a mad woman but nothing yet from the other end,v walking will help that I guess.

Gonna try to sleep some more before they come in and wake me up again!

Congrats!

Walking is the best medicine at his stage. congrats and welcome to the sleeved side

Glad to hear you made it out ok, your doing teh wright thing keep walking and stay motivated ........

Congrats! I was sleeved at 10:00 yesterday and others than incision soreness I am doing well. I had a narcotic thru my IV at 10pm last night but no heavy drugs since then - just liquid Tylenol. I want to stay off the heavy stuff so I can know what the pain will be like at home. I feel lucky today! It all went pretty good, and I don't feel horrible yet the next 4 days will still be a challenge. Good luck to you!

Omg my heart monitor kept going off too when I slept it was SO ANNOYING. In fact I was pretty grouchy to the nurse about it because it woke me up repeatedly.

Congrats....keep on walking. That's the best for you at this stage.

Congratulations! Even with your sleeve/gallbladder being removed the doctor discharged you in less than 48hrs?

Yup, I was already doing laps around the nurses station, kept down my Breakfast (2oz of Protein shake) and Water with no nausea and my pain is pretty minimal. He asked me if I wanted to stay another night but I got no sleep last night at all so would just rather sleep in my own bed and monitor my temp/blood pressure myself.

Congratulations on being sleeved yesterday and doing well enough to go home!

It only gets better from here!!
