Aug 1st my sleeve day

It is finally almost here. Tomorrow is my surgery. This time tomorrow night I will be on the losers bench. Whooohoooo!!! My main concern is feeling nauseated after surgery and struggling to get fluids in. That and then not letting me have fluids or even ice chip the first day/night after. I am bring biotene spray and chap stick so hopefully that will help. My goal is to get ASAP after surgery. Pain or no pain I am fighting through it. I have had 3 c-sections, back surgery and a hysterectomy so I am familiar with general anesthesia and surgical pain. I really would like to only spend one night in the hospital. We'll see. So...here I go!!!

Good luck! You'll do great. I was sleeved 10 days ago and feel awesome. The first three days are the hardest because of the gas pains, but everyday gets SO much better. And you're going to do great since you understand walking is key! Keep us updated!

Congrats! My surgery is on Thursday. I'm very excited! I was worried the most about the liquid diet before the surgery. But I'm already almost on day 5 and it's been pretty easy for me. I guess I got lucky. XD Now, I am worried I will feel nauseous after surgery. I hate feeling that way. :/ I'm also very worried about the gas pains. I had my gallbladder removed a few months ago and the gas pain I felt in my right arm was AWFUL. Walking truly does help. So if you're starting to feel pain, get up and walk. The pain will go away almost immediately. I wasn't able to sleep even at an inclined angle for the first 2 nights. I had to sleep at a 90 degree angle. It seems miserable, but I was so doped up on pain meds that I fell asleep pretty easily, haha. After 3 days, the pain should be gone. It's unlikely that you will stay in the hospital for only 1 day. Most people stay 2-3 days. But who knows, your doctor may let you go home in 1 day depending on how well you do. :D

Also, good luck! You will do great! Please keep us updated!
