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

    I am feeling sooooo much better. Going home today , no more nausea, no more dizziness and pain is very minimal. Tolerating Clear liquids well. Gas pain is gone. Still feel weak but getting better. On

  • I had this same thought for probably two weeks. OMG, what did I just to do myself?! I literally remember being on the phone with my best friend crying that I had destroyed my life..who in their right

  • 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

I don't have anymore gas pains. Just pain in one of the incision areas to the left. Also, is it normal to FEEL the actual liquid that I am drinking going down my stomach and when it reaches my intestines I get a little cramp that quickly goes away. Also my insides are LOUD and making all kinds of noises now.

You're going to be ok ((hugs)). First few days are rough, but it will get better. I'm 13 days post op and feel so great. I just read my first texts to my sister from day 1 -3 it's almost a blur. That's how much better you will feel. Walk & drink (sip) your Water and plenty of it.

You're kidding! Now that I think about it this sounds familiar, I'm in Pok as well. Not familiar with your doc, mine is in Westchester, surgery will be in Putnam Hospital. Where was yours?

First 12.weeks were unpleasant but since I was dying of obesity I took the long view. Now years post sleeve - I am happy!

@carlissarn.... Diarrhea does not seem to be a frequent complaint on here.... Do you think this is all a bad reaction to the anesthesia?

Sorry your having a rough day again.
