Hi Jenn I haven't been sleeved yet but from what I've read it gets much better after a couple of days, hope you are feeling much better tomorrow!

Congratulations!! Welcome home to the family! I promise you, it was tough my first day too. It will become better as time goes on....WALKING is a major key. Go a few steps the first time, the next go farther, then go half way down the hall, then you'll be taking laps around that hospital. I know the pain is ALOT, and it will get better!! The hardest part is over- you made it.

I have been walking and burping more this evening. Not good at dealing with the gas pains!1

Plus I feel like my pain meds wear off 2 hours early.

Thanks for the encouragement everyone!

Sounds like you're doing well, getting up and about, the pain sounds awful, how long are you thinking you'll need to/want to stay in hospital? My op is due end Nov, excited but scared. Sending good wishes.

I am feeling much better this morning, never so happy to fart!

I didn't have to stay overnight at the hospital, home at 6pm the same day

Make sure you drink water [emoji97] and walk even if it's to the end of the driveway first, then try to make it a little further the following week and so on...

I know I am not getting enough water, can feel it. I will drink but get afraid that I can't tell the difference between full pains or gas pains

Take small sips - the fluids will go right thru sleeve so it shouldn't fill your stomach. Good luck!
