Just wondering if there is anyone in the area(Michigan) who had a date close to mine or anyone in general for that matter that we could help each other out along the way :-) Its getting to the last few weeks and my nerves are starting to get to me.

Yay, I finally found a Protein drink that works for me which I'm stoked about because its been a long 6 mos trying all the different brands and flavors.

Is it strange that I made sure to up my life insurance policy just in case something bad happens, for some reason I am only thinking of the bad and not the good that can come out of this! Suggestions?

Thanks!

We did it!!!!!!!! How freakin awesome are we!?????

My surgery went flawless. When I woke up I was sooooo nauseous but they gave me meds and eventually it subsided. I have been up walking a lot, but still sleeping a lot as the anesthesia wears off. Tomorrow as long as I do ok with proteins and possible swallow test I should be ok to go home !!!! I still can't believe I finally did it. It was a long road to get here but I have had so much peace about this surgery

Ok time to go back to sleep lol sorry for the pain med induced wall of text above lol.

10/26 in SoCal anyone else?

October 14th here and from Arizona

Hi everyone so it's 24 hours after my sleeve! I am so proud of myself for taking this step and opening up my future to more possibilities.

So, surgery went extremely well,I also had a hernia repaired, which he did at no extra charge. I love my Doc!

Upper chest gas , more burping than anything. VERY sore, slightly nauseous .

Should go home tomorrow

Hope you 19th sleepers are doing well

My surgery was schedule to be outpatient. I went back around 7:15 and was home by 3. Today, 24 hours out---I've gotten 32 oz of liquids in and 30 grams of protein. Still sipping. I took a small nap this morning. I just got out of the shower and settled again. Thought I would take a nap, but I don't feel tired. I'm still dealing with trapped gas. It is all in my upper chest/shoulders. I thought it was gone, but I was wrong. I also have a pain with one of my incisions. It's like my stomach is so heavy, it's pulling it down (TMI). Stupid, hanging down stomach! Overall, things are okay.

Yay Colleen! I am about to get discharged and go home. I am pretty sore in one of my incision sites, but that is to be expected. I have been walking a lot. I only managed to get 4oz of protein in today, but they only had me start late in the afternoon when they took me off IV's.

I have mixed feelings about going home lol. I have loved sleeping upright in the bed.

Ugh, am I the only one that's miserable? Hate to be a downer but I wasn't expecting all this nausea and pain. I'm home now, but only got in 2oz of protein today. Hoping it improves soon!

Whynotnow hope you feel better!

I was very miserable yesterday, today is better! About to be discharged! Hope you feel better soon too.

You aren't being a downer! Everyone goes through different things at different times. I have been home since last night, but today I feel horrible. The pain is really bad (gas pain) and I have neusea. I am taking so many pills- they hurt so bad when I take them. Sleeping in my bed was MISERABLE, the hospital beds were much nicer where I could sleep sitting up. I am hoping I can get some better rest today while the kids are all in school. I hope you are feeling better today!

Whoops, I forgot to add my comment!

Now that it's been over 40 hours, things have really improved. I can move around a lot better and the nausea is gone although it feels like I was punched in the stomach with a baseball bat! I didn't get any prescription pain meds because they were too costly but the chewable Tylenol seems to be helping a little. I was able to drink and 11 ounce protein drink over the last six hours so that is progress too! I hope you all feel better soon and we all knew this wouldn't be easy but the rewards will be so amazing!

I agree -- things are definitely getting better. The incision where they pulled the stomach out is painful --but I'm feeling much better than expected. We got this team!
