Hi fellow sleevers and soon to be! I am in my room, have been since around 11:00 (I think) the surgery went great. I'm glad to be on the other side of it now and starting my new life. Pain is minimal except in one area at the very top of my abdomen, right under the esophogus. It hurts like air is trapped, with just a little burning. Nothing I can't sleep through. They gave me more pain meds when i asked and I just took a little nap. I also just got back from walking. Went great too! Tip: I remembered from my past c-sections, to hold a pillow over your tummy and push on it when I was getting up. Also when walking around. It helped me with pain. All in all, I'm doing well. Can't wait to see everyone else's updates from surgery today!

So happy to see your update!!!!!! Keep em coming when you can!!!!!!

All the best - keep us updated :)

On the bright side, least you no longer have to be on the pre-op diet - it sucks!

Good luck everyone!!!! I'm at the hospital waiting for the team to come get me for pre op hook ups. Surgery shouldn't be until about 10am though. It's only 0744 now. Keep you posted. Prayers appreciated.

My surgery is in 6 days, I'm so anxious and neurvous with all these negative thoughts. I want to reschedule! Someone please remind me that I will be ok.

You are going to do great! I am 2 days post op, still in the hospital and have ZERO complaints so far. Upper GI went great, I was nervous about putting liquid in my new stomach, but my mind over thought and it went fine! You can do this, remember that you will be able to eat those foods you love again, but in normal, healthy portions. It's not "goodbye" to it forever.

Well I am officially sleeved and one post op! I'm not feeling too bad. Had surgery at 3:30p yesterday and was walking around about 10:30pm last night. The pain is bearable . Doing the walking and swimming before surgery definitely made a difference in the healing process! I wish all of you guys the best we got this!

Hi! Just got home....surgery was at1:30 yesterday. Not gonna sugar coat it for you.....I have had a rough time, but nothing I couldn't get through. I slept a lot and also walked a lot. To me, the nausua is the worst. I wake up with it and the only relief is my brief bought a with sleep. I have some other conditions that flared up since I had to go off some of my meds that help with that sort of thing. Anyhow, I am glad t be home but my care was top notch....best nursing care I have ever received. I am having trouble staying awake to write this so better end it. So glad it is over and am on the losers side! I now declare July 5 as my Independence Day!

I'm tomorrow as well. They just called me tell me to come by 8:15. I'm thinking about calling to purchase a private room. What did you all do?

Getting a little antsy!! Surgery is in 18 hours and 30 minutes... Work is going by quick today and I have so much to get done. Excited and a little scared, but ready to Celebrate my new birthday
