Hi everyone,

Sleeved @8am this morning & was up walking by 11:30, after being in the recovery room for 20 mins. Stomach is a lol sore, most of the pain WAS in my shoulder from gas.

I was told to get back in bed by 2pm since I started bleeding from one of the surgery sites, from doing to much to fast. Shoulder not hurting as much.

I will be going home tomorrow. Woohoo thank you Jesus.

For the gas, I found that taking deep breaths by mouth totally relieved the pain until the next hit, for which I repeated the deep breath for more relief. That's how I handled it for the first day while burping it away. By end of the first day I was for the most part in good shape.

I was sleeved last week Tuesday. The hospital I was in required us to walk the floor every 2 hours even overnight to get rid of the gas and help ease the pain. The walk was not long, maybe 10 minutes. I must say I had minimal gas and by day 2 no pain. Today 9 days out, the only sign or reminder I just had major surgery is the incisions. Good luck & keep moving.

That's awesome. Im still up ughhh cant sleep going to try this morphine drip.
