Hey everyone, had my operation yesterday. Surgeon said all went well. Pain was a lot worse than expected but I still wouldn't go back. Should be home tomorrow. Good luck everyone.

Oh this gas hurts. Any tips anyone? I'm in so much pain. I'm so nauseous. Idk what to do out side of walking

Hi all, had my op at 3pm yesterday. All went well, quite a lot of pain, but once they got it under control felt much better. Got push button pain relief to self administer so that was great. I felt a real heavyness across my chest which they said is normal and has eased off overnight and this morning. Also allowed to have ice, but just take tiny bits at a time otherwise the heavyness across the chest is intensified, but not too bad, just a warning to take it slow and small. Hope everyone is feeling well and good luck today for those getting it done today. Remember no pain no gain!!!

Hey everyone, I was sleeved at 9:30 this morning everthing went very well. I remember going into the operating room but only I was only awake for a few minutes. I had to have a hitial hernia repair as well.

When I woke up from surgery the gas pain in my chest was at a level of 5 or 6. I was given pain medication, when i got to my room from recovery I was ready to walk . I put my pajamas on and I walked and I'm no longer experiencing gas pains and that's so awesome. I've been increasing my walking time a little at a time. I'm up to 5 laps on my hospital floor.

As far as resting, I've been resting pretty well. Nurses are constantly in but their awesome! I have my chest x-ray and leak test in the morning. After that I'll start my clear liquid diet. Guys I'm so glad I don't feel hungry.

I know there are a lot of people getting sleeved on Wednesday, October 8th. I wish you all the best and a speedy recovery!

Hi! Had mu surgery yesterday morning and all is well! Pain is manageable, but like others have said, the gas pains/nausea is the harder part. All in all, it's not as bad as I anticipated. I'll be starting liquids as soon as the sleeve test results coming through.?
