Had my sleeve this morning and am doing pretty well. Pain meds working well but get a little tough at the end of the dose schedule. Gas pain is the worst part but walking and the insentive spirometer (blue breathing exercise device ) really do help.

That's great! You are doing well. Happy for you. Did you have your swallow test yet?

How wonderful, let your new life begin!

congrats!! Mine was 10 days ago. Just remember, it gets better each day!!Gas pains were the worst and didnt let up completely until day 7 or 8!

The first day of the rest of your life. Hang on for a wild ride!

Congrats and keep walking - it helps with the pain!

Woohoo!! Congrats and welcome to the losers bench!

By the end of day one I had no belly pain and asked them to take my happy button away. I was allowed to use Gas-X strips to help with the gas, but otherwise walk, walk, walk! I was in the hospital for 2 more days and walked the halls at all hours of the day and night. By the time I went home I felt great!

Good Luck!

Congratulations and speedy recovery
