What did I do to myself?

I am about 9 hours out right now and sooooo nauseated. Such bad gas pain in my left shoulder only BUT I can't walk because I'm soooo dizzy. I have dry heaves which hurt my tummy and I can't have anything for nausea again until 6am!! Please please tell

Me this does get better. My surgeon however DID warn me that the first night it the WORST!!

      Of course it gets better. Do you think more than 10 people would have had this surgery if the result was nausea, dizziness, pain, and dry heaving for the rest of their lives? Have you had major surge

    Believe it or not, this will be a distant memory soon. Maybe the pain medication is adding to your nausea. Track the time you have pain medication and onset of the severe nausea. I could not handle the morphine . I changed to toroidal and the nausea went away. Did you have a hernia repair as well? For me, that was the worst.

    I am 3 months out since surgery and it was the BEST decision that I could have ever made. Right not that might seem unbelievable, but mark my word...you too will be saying the same thing soon. Feel better :)

    @@carlissa_RN - So glad you are home and doing better! Rest assured that SO many of us have that "what have I done??!!" moments. You may even have them again. Just hang in there. I will be a year out next week and wow, cannot believe how great this journey has been! BUT if you read my activity from probably the first 3 months post-op, you will see I felt the same as you! It does get better! Enjoy the ride!

    Low grade temp of 100.4 and below, which I have had since the day after surgery and Doctor wasn't concerned and he sent me home. It was normal this morning but back up to 99.7 now.

    Have a terrible headache....but that is probably my body detoxing from all the crap I've been eating. Still sore but hanging in there. I was 235 at surgery, I can't wait to get on that scale at doctors office next week. Hubby just got me some broths, Italian ices and sugar free Jello and sugar free iced pops to supplement my isopure and Water.

    i must be a poster child i had no nausea at all. i had no gas pains at all, (i burbed alot)the pain meds given to me were sufficient. i was able to go home the next day but i didnt' want to i wanted to stay another night and was allowed to. next day home i was cleaning walking and back and forth from my bed to computer. i drank more than i was suppose to i used the enhaler and i took my pepcid and percocet on time. 2 days later i was driving running errands i started to question if i had the surgery the next day when doc came to visit me in the room lol he said yeah not only did i have the sleeve done he found a small hernia that he repaired i was impressed especially when i watched the sleeve being performed on youtube. im greatful for my surgeon and if i had to i would do this all over again. Now i just have to work my sleeve and lose this weight.
