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!

Wow! You are doing great! Come on and join us on the bench!

Congrats to you, and lucky on the gas pains!

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.

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!

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!

Congratulations

Wow, that is great!

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

@BrownEyedTxGirl....got you a spot right here <patting the bench>

happy birthday!

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.

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?

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.

When is your surgery? Which hospital will you be at? I was at the new Destiny center in Frisco that Dr. Kim opened recently. It was super clean/nice and all of the staff was amazing!
