Hi. There were a lot of people with a 10/26/16 surgery date on the boards prior to my surgery. I just wanted to see if anyone wants to chat or even start a little group as we go through this.

I had my surgery at 7:30 am on 10/26/16. The first day was awful and on the second day I failed my swallow test and had a few minor complications and a major meltdown. I wasn't able to have anything to drink until 3:00 pm on 10/28/16 and didn't get to go home until 10/30/16.

I'm now a little behind on my post op routine, started full liquids Monday.

Pain wise, I am ok for a while and then the pain gets so bad I need to lay down. I have been walking a 1/2 a mile every morning (still can't get the gas out) and been taking trips to the store to keep busy. Maybe over doing it a bit....

Other than that, I am very bored and I am even starring to miss work.

Hope everyone's surgeries went well!!!

Sleeved 10/25. I ended up in the ER yesterday having IV fluids because I was getting only half my fluids in. Feel like crap today. This is not going to plan.

Hi. I am sorry to hear you have been going through it. One day at a time. I was sleeved 10/24 & was hospitalized for 5 days. I had 2 get 4 blood transfusions because of internal bleeding and it scared me!! I realized I have to take everything a lot more seriously then I first thought... your experience help others so keep sharing on here. Please don't get discouraged!! Nothing great comes easy. Try drinking one ounce of Water every 10 min. Set a timer. It will get better.

Thank you so much for the kind words! I'm glad you're recovering after such a traumatic experience. I can only drink thin liquids, both Soup and Protein shakes give me a lot of pain, but tea goes down easily. I know it will get better - again thank you so much and good luck in your journey!

Sorry to hear about your ER visit. I was sleeved on 10/26 and have similar post op experiences. Difficulty with meeting my Protein intake and also have not had a BM since 10/24. Just wondering if the two issues combined could be a concern. I have had zero gas since surgery and my pain travels from my back to my rib cage and around my breast bone.
