So I had my gastric sleeve done yesterday at noon After I few unforeseen issues i was given the option of rescheduling I decided to get it done . I was really nervous going in wondering how bad the pain and nausea was going to be . I woke up groggy and in very minimal pain. No nausea! Best was to describe it is sore your abandon is sore . I'm only taking pain meds cuz why not ? But I would be ok with nothing.what hurts the most is my throughly because of the tube . I sore and painful to swallow but seriously other then that this gal feels great ! thank you RWJ hospital

congrats! I love to read posts like these. Makes me feel not so nervous about surgery. Not like I haven't had surgery before. I had a breast reduction, and no lie, it was not a fun recovery. Hope you're home soon and comfortable!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
