Okay I am officially sleeved!

YAY you! How are you doing? Lucky you, to now be on the losers bench! I can't wait to join you!

I'm not sure why but my phone will not let me see the script I type when starting a new thread! Anyways, had my surgery around 11 am yesterday and got back to room by 4pm after a couple of hours in recovery. Listerine strips and a cold, wet washcloth have been great for moistening my mouth. So far, the pain is pretty sucky in terms of trying to adjust myself in bed or use the bathroom. Suffered some nausea when first waking but other than that I am doing just fine

Good luck. Remember to walk walk walk walk walk.....that's really the only thing that makes the gas pains go away. Gas X helps, but nothing like walking! Don't worry, you'll be just fine in a couple of days. It gets better then before you know it, those pounds will come sliding down. Stay positive, all good things to come!!
