Surgery day is approaching fast and I go from excited to nervous to blah.... I would love to keep in touch with someone who is having surgery around the same time as I. It's always nice to talk to someone who knows what you're going through.

Doing well here. My main incision is sore, and still have some gas pains but other than that I felt good.

Occasionally have some pain when drinking water/jello, but nothing unmanageable.

I am having lost of pain in my right incisions I didn't think it would be this pain full I am also having trouble getting rid of the gas Two days post op I hope I get to feeling better soon. Congrats and good luck to you guys. Does anyone have pain just on one side or both ? I also did get sent home with a medicine ball on my right side I am wondering if that's what it is .

I'm glad you guys had good recoveries, mine has not gone so well!!! I haven't been able to get anything down & could not pee at first!!! After I take sips of water, it causes horrible spasms & pain in my stomach! The first night I kept dry heaving & thought I was gonna rip open my staples!!!!! I just wanna feel normal again!!!! They are giving me Zofran & Toradol around the clock! Prayers to all!

I'm having difficulty swallowing I'm wondering if is esophageal spasms?!in having right side pain but only with movement! I hope everyone is recuperating well!!!????????

I'm doing ok. I still have nausea, bad gas pains, and my incision on the right hurts like hell! I am able to get my water in but not protein.

You should have thrown your phone at your snoring husband and reminded him that he was there to support you, not drive you to distraction!

Surgery ended up being at 12 today. I had and still have lots a trapped gas. Been walking and it's helping a bit, but that is the majority of my pain. The pain med I have is making me super nauseous and the zofran that is suppose to dissolve under my tongue isn't dissolving very well and is making my nauseous. Husband is snoring like a crazy person
All in all, I feel ok

ckcford, any news? Hopefully your are feeling at least a smidge better.

Feeling better today. Have gotten NO protein down, but am sipping water and sugar free apple juice which tastes amazing. Haven't needed much pain medication today, but the incisions burn a bit. Feeling ok.

what did they suggest for incisions burning? I have one that is killing me.

Hey Everyone! Happy New Year! I just toasted in the new year with some Powerade Zero, haha. I've been sipping and sipping and walking and walking. Gas pains are all gone, but the fact that every single time I take a sip and it sits right above my stomach before it 'flushes' into it is bothering me like crazy. No sharp pains, just dull soreness. I'm dying to take a solid sip of water without having to sip.

@ fatchick84

I have lidocaine gel that I put around the incisions. Helps with the burning.

They kept me in the hospital 2-nights & I asked to come home today... So I'm finally home! But I still have lots of pain & what seems like painful spasms on & off?!?? I don't know if that's gas or something else! I still haven't been able to get much down because as soon as it hits my stomach it's painful! The smell of broth Makes me nauseated!!!! I'm hoping I can get down some protein shake tomorrow so I can start getting protein in! ????????????????????????

I hope you all are doing great! Blessings!!!

Hi Guys! I am being sleeved on Jan 14th. I am really getting nervous. For all that have had the procedure done, was it worth it? Any regrets?

It is worth it and i have no regrets about it
