Hi everyone!! This is my first post & I'm looking for October surgery buddies. I'm very excited about the surgery. I've gotten my psych clearance, scheduled my sleep study, nutrition classes and upper endoscopy. My date is October 14th. Btw, anyone here from Jersey? Look forward to making friends w everyone!

I was sleeved on the 7th. I had gas pains really severely in my shoulder my left shoulder to be exact. The only thing that seemed to help me was the painkillers they gave me at the hospital. The other thing was I did my arms like windmills in back and forth. That helped some. That may be passed gas and I felt a lot better but every once in awhile I will still feel the pain.some people have to take prilosec or one of those gas type medication. I would call your doctor and ask for advice. Good luck.

It is the day before surgery with nothing but liquids. And I have a huge headache.. I don't think I am suppose to take anything... I have surgery at 8am in the morning.

Hey folks

First post since being sleeve. Surgery was a success. I was up walking around a lot. Yet I'm still nauseated and throwing up, so they are making stay another night.

Just wanted to touch bases with you Hugs to everyone.. can't believe it's done and over with !!

Chelle, hope u feel better soon...keep ask for zofran or whatever u get for nausea...@@Athomas, Tylenol is OK...hang in there. I am very tired, but moving around welll..I am happy to go home tomorrow.take care all, Leslie

Chelementine it's so good to hear from you! Glad to hear it was a success! Hope you feel better soon!

Don't know how that became Chlementine!?! It was Chellede.

Not sure if I posted this yesterday in my drugged out stupor. Gas pain is no joke! OMG I was sooooo uncomfortable. A little discomfort now under my boobs and left side. Throats a little scratchy. Walking does help but I think I over did it!! On clears today and that's a little uncomfortable - I swallow and it almost seems like a gas bubble coming back up. VERY pretty black and blue incision where they pulled my stomach out! Should be going home tomorrow! Hope everyone is doing well!!

PS - let's hear it for hot nurses and nurses aids! Must be my lucky night!!

Chellede

They gave me something in my iv for nausea. It worked like a charm. Feel better soon.

Karen

Congratulations! Sounds like you had good drugs like me! I hardly remember the first night, lol.

I"m home. And yes Peek, I did get two things for nausea. What was happening is I would walk, and the gas bubble would make me sick. But I've kept everything down and did 4 laps of the 3rd floor. So I'm good to go

Thank you everyone for the support. You pioneers were amazing in giving us details ! HUGS to those who are going to be sleeved .. you got this ! No fears !!

Chellede glad to read the update. Sending you good wishes and good prayers.

Thanks Lady

One thing that is so weird is how much my stomach growls !!

Chellede

Your stomach is pissed off, lol, what's left of it :-) mine growled a lot the first 5 days too.

@@Peekboo that was so funny, I really laughed out loud.

Kathy

Lol, thanks. I think its the lack of food getting to me. I hope Chellede laughed out loud too.
