I was sleeved two days ago. Recovering in hotel room. Not much pain, didn't need pain or nausea Med today. Trying to walk a lot. Trying to drink enough, only got 16 ounces yesterday, trying to get more in today. Made a watery Protein Drink and slowly sipping from it too, it's hard. But all things considered, I am doing well. We fly home tomorrow.

Hey my July peeps! I am doing good! I been walking and drinking sips. Got out of surgery and in room at 11:00am. Doc said I had a lot of scarring from my previous surgeries and some herinas. We will fix them after a drop 60lbs. Hoping to make that by end of the year.
I am surprised how good I feel. No drain. No catheter and just started liquid loratab.
Hope all of you are doing well.
We all sitting on the losers bench, ,!!! Ya,hoooooooo!!

Yay! Mostly good news minus the hernia! I'll be in the same boat. Massive lower abdomen scarring from back surgery and stomach area scarring from gallbladder. Plus a hernia above my belly button from an incision that I can't fix till I'm below 30 BMI. That's what finally pushed me to get the sleeve. It looks like a fist sized tumor.

Hope your recovery continues to go well!

Hey Kate!
Yeah I hear ya. Those darn hernias are a pain.
I am feeling good this morning, did some hall walking last night. Hardly no gas pain. I am waiting to see the doc. I usually take Fluid pills and I am beginning to swell with all the fluid pumping in me. So they checking to see if I can have a tiny bit.
Hope everyone is doing great ! Thanks so much for the well wishes!

      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!!
