Out of Surgery

My husband had sleeve surgery tonight. It finished around 7. He was in so much pain when he got out. It was awful to watch. The nurses assured me he would be feeling better. Ugh! I stayed until 12:30, and I felt guilty leaving him. I'll go back as soon as I wake up in the morning. I don't have a question as much as I just needed a place to write how awful it was. :( I'm sure it will be better tomorrow though. FIngers crossed!

It's always so hard to see our loved ones in pain...we feel so powerless. He will get through this, and every day it gets better. Just your being there is so important.

Every day will get a little better. Prayers for both you and your husband!

For me, the day of surgery and the first two days after were pretty awful. After that, I rebounded very quickly. Hopefully this will be the case for your husband.

Best wishes for you both!

Not to worry he will feel better. within minutes of getting out of surgery i vomited up black (old blood) in front of my mother and was begging for pain medication. she looked terrified. within 6 hours of that I was up and going to the washroom and that evening I was walking laps (slowly) around the floor. It improves pretty quickly.

I had my sleeve done two days ago and I'm in a lot of pain

Thank you everyone for the encouraging words. He is feeling a lot better today. It was really scary yesterday. I'm lucky that his mom was able to come up and spend some time with him tonight, so I could come home and relax a bit. He is still in pain, but not at the 10 where he was yesterday. The meds brought him to a 3-4. Whew!

I can't tell you how much you helped me! <3
