Down to paracetamol alone, good girl! You reminded me of something to watch out for, I have "rolling" veins that like to infiltrate, maybe myself and future nurse will have to stay on top of that. I hope your arm goes down in swelling and starts feeling more comfortable. Now you have a tiny taste,of what I and Fluffy Chix fight against with lymphedeoma. Not a fun condition to have , mine is both lower legs, left one worse, hers is left arm. There is a certain politician in Washington DC I would cheerful give mine to , yes the self-same one that cannot keep himself off of Twitter!?

I pity you guys having this kind of swelling pain! It's gone back down to normal size now, just a bit tender in places. Do watch it with your op if your veins are tricky, you Danny want ouchy leakage.

Hi GalNola, I was sleeved on the 2nd! I am definitely in more pain since being home. Last night was rough. I’m experiencing pain when trying to use my stomach muscles when I sit up in bed.
Have you had minimal pain the whole time, or do you feel like there was point where the pain subsided? I was feeling really good at the hospital (thanks morphine!) but not so much now.

Thanks

I’m so sorry to hear about your pain! Mine definitely subsided since yesterday and you are a day behind me so fingers crossed you will be better tomorrow. I’m just have some minor incision tenderness. My doc gave me liquid pain meds so it helped greatly when I was still in pain at home. I try to roll to the side when sitting up in bed to help not strain the incision areas but I made that up and no one said that would help. :-) let me know how you feel tomorrow. Good luck!

My anaesthetist had a good dig around putting in the art line. I have rubbish veins. Here are my war wounds and photo is complementary

All I can say is try and stay busy, drink lots of water and check in here often. I'm on day 5 and that's what has worked for me

1st day home from hospital and nothing beats sleeping in your own bed. Inspired by Taoz i made my own chicken stock. I have then made for next couple days vegetable soup and pumpkin, carrot and ginger soup. Heres a pic of my vege soup for may post op sleevers on liquid stage. Not a pretty colour but tastes great. Swirled some natural yoghurt through also

May 8 th for me! Start my liquid diet tomorrow for 2 days then Tuesday is the big day.

Our family is getting sleeved May 24 at Bariatricpal MX. My husband, daughter and myself! My sister is getting sleeved the day before! I guess our family reunions will no longer be centered around food. We are looking forward to a healthy 2018,

That’s fantastic! Good luck to your whole family.

What a great way to do it. Everyone on the same journey and goal will make it easier for you i hope.

I’m on May 10 as well!!!

Awesome!!! We need to start a group and keep up with each other!

That’s fantastic! Good luck to your whole family.

This is only a good idea if you all have some one to take care of all of you for the first few days to a week. You definitely will need help.
