Sleeves this morning (8/3/15)...back home already!

[BrownEyedTxGirl 139]

Hello everyone! So I was sleeved at 6:30 am this morning (8/03/15) and I am already back home!

Everything went wonderful! No gas pain and feel pretty good. Worst thing right now is a sore throat from the breathing tube!

I am walking, walking, walking....sipping, sipping sipping.

Thanks to everyone on this site I feel like I was well prepared!

So scoot over peeps...make room for me on the losers bench!

Unbelievable!!!!!!! I hope I am that lucky when I have my surgery!!!!! Why were you released so early? I thought everyone usually stayed at least 2 days.

[AvaFern 3,516]

Wow! That's aweome that you were done so quickly. I was stuck in the hospital for three days and wasn't allowed to drink anything for the first 24 hours. Good luck in your sleeve journey!

[StephBtoo 28]

Excellent!! Sounds like you are off to an great start. Fingers crossed I'll be able to say something similar when it is my turn!!!!

Unbelievable!!!!!!! I hope I am that lucky when I have my surgery!!!!! Why were you released so early? I thought everyone usually stayed at least 2 days.

My surgeon tries to have everyone out same day. I have Dr. David Kim and he is amazing!

Wow, that is great!

[nrexxma44 22]

Congratulations!!! Sounds like you are the model patient. I had to stay in the hospital for 3 days because my surgeon doesn't allow anything by mouth till 2 days post op! I never had a problem with gas, and I think it was because of the walking! Best of luck in your journey

Did anyone experience vomiting? My surgery was 8/3/15 there was 9 other ppl who had sleeve that day all of us were vomiting. The nurses said they were surprised i only threw up twice,and that was after i drank iced tea. I have been drinking all hot liquids since.

[BrownEyedTxGirl 139]

I haven't had any nausea or thrown up. There were 6 of us sleeved at my facility yesterday and if anyone was throwing up I was not aware. Heard lots of people complaining about gas but that was about it.

I hope you get to feeling better soon. Are you still in the hospital?

[nomoremeds 27]

That's good to hear. I have Dr. Holden. I pray she is as good as Dr Kim.

I went home 8\4\15 because I walked alot around the unit and drinking hot tea didn't make me nauseous or vomit. There were a few ppl who had their surgery before me that was still there though.
