I am two days post op sitting in my hospital bed, ready to go home here soon... I am feeling pain upon getting into and out of bed and some when walking... I am doing great walking and feel better and better all the time... I am burping and having gas and that has helped... I am keeping down solid liquids well and have not had much nausea.

My question is when will I be comfortable enough to get up out of bed and get into bed? Will it be 2 week? 6 weeks? Ready to feel better soon! Thanks!

I was sleeved on 10-8 and everyday I am doing better. Not much pain getting out of bed today. My stomach sounds like a battle going on in there, and finally having a BM. I am hoping that will help with the gas pains. Still trying to reach 30 oz of Clear liquids a day. sugar free popsicles have never tasted so good.

I have not been on any pain meds since Thursday. Feeling better every day!

I had my surgery on October 7th, this past Monday and this morning was the first morning I was able to COMFORTABLY get out of bed. I did not need stitching or stapling, but was glued so don't know how the effects it. Everyone's diff This is the first day I woke up not going right to pain meds, it's almost 12:30pm, still haven't needed one. Walking helps A LOT. Best of luck to you! Attached some pics from my surgery. Bruising is not from surgery, but from Lovenox shots I had to do for two weeks prior to surgery.

Steeks,

I don't know what your hospital requirements are but 30 oz of liquids a day is not a lot at all. I was sleeved on this past Monday, October 7th, and I'm required to consume 64 oz of fluids daily. I do three sugar free popsicles, which equal 60 oz and I sip as much as I can throughout day.

You are correct..I need to get 64 oz a day, but it was tough the 1st few days. I am getting about 48 a day now and its getting a lot better each day. I am also eating 2 sf popsicles a day.

today my goal is 64 oz of Water.

I am feeling 100 % back to normal in just 6 days post op!
