I had my sleeve surgery Dec 17, 2018. The process was rather stretchy in the beginning. Iv,urine screen needle in stomach. Blood work. Last weight. After surgery the pain was horrific. I remember telling them im at a 10 a 10!! There wee guving me something that wasnt working. I remember a lady brung me a ginger ame with a straw. I immediately started sipping not thinking smh. I told her i cant have a straw or carbonated beverage. She told me it was fine. Which was not. I waited in recovery probably a hour. Then I went to a room. Pain was too much. I did get up and walk alot. I couldn’t release any gas only burping. I still cant stand up straight. The only incision that hurts is the main one. I haven’t been able to get any food down. Everything is nasty. Water is my best friend. Nausea is the worst and when you throw it is the wirst. Looks like greasy phlegm. Its so nasty.

Sorry that you were in so much pain but you will start to feel better each day. It's great that you can tolerate water which is so important and so you won't get dehydrated because some people have a hard time after surgery with water.

I wish you all the best and a speedy recovery. You got this!! ?

Please get in touch with your team if you are still in pain and come up with a pain management plan. Bug them for everything. Advocate for everything you need.

Get well soon and safe Journey ?

3 days...

It will improve.

Im on day 4 and its a lil better. But i dont like the taste of jello popsicles or broth

The patch is probably scopalamine, Good for nausea. May give you blurred vision, when you remove it , wear Gloves. Good stuff but an ornery dude.
