@bwyjunky79-great that you are able to take in liquids. The gas gets better-lots of walking. I stayed an extra night as well for the same reason. It's gets better! Welcome to the losers bench! Speedy recovery

@@sleeveisa hanging in there! How are you?

I had mine October 6th

No joke about the gas pains holy crap, had my surgery this am and have been walking every hour, it's been rough but hopefully by tomorrow the gas hits the road!!!

I'm still having gas and I had surgery Monday morning. Lots of burping and just recently flatulating.

Hang in there anyone that's scared and not yet been sleeved! It must be hard being in late Oct and reading all our scary posts. I had my op on the 5th so was one of the early ones. I also had my gallbladder out.

I wanted to reassure any scaredy cats like me out there as I was really terrified and dreading it.

I'm a week in and feel really good.

I only needed pain meds for the 1st few hours after coming round. I had terrible nausea but the nurse told me that the nausea could be from the morphine so we knocked it to 'on demand' and I was fine after that and have never needed pain meds since. So please bare that in mind if you are feeling nauseous and on morphine you may want to try asking for it on demand. I took meds for acid reflux for a few days but that seems fine to be now.

Attaching pic of one of my incisions as the steristrips just came off. It looks red but it's a small incision(Multivitamin for scale). No stitches and not sore. It can be scary when you see 7 ( in my case) bandages so I wanted to reassure you.

Hoping that those of you still to be done have such an easy recovery. Hugs and good luck X

I am one week and two days out. I agree completely with what @@lowbmi65 said. The recovery has not been near what I thought it would be. Monday was six days out and I went to my sons last Jr high football game. I'm still a bit sore, but more like muscle soreness. Rocking out the puréed foods. So thankful for the opportunity to better my health.

You've got this!!! Go for it!!!
