Day 1 with sleeve, thing's I've learned.

- Fentanyl is great for pain relief, but it makes me very nauseous, tired and dizzy. So I'm having anymore.

- Having a catheter is horrible, but very convenient when it is in there. No more struggling over to the toilet.

- The gas pains are awful. I can't wait to be walking them off.

- Apparently I need to be on an anti reflux med for the foreseeable future,. This surprised me, as I have never had any issue with reflux, and my understanding was that the sleeve rarely triggers reflux. I'm going to talk to my surgeon about it it.

- Ice chips were my best friend overnight, my throat was and is very dry.

Wow this doesn't sound good. Are you still in the hospital? I was told by my surgeon and nurse that I would need to walk immediately. The sooner I walk the better for the pain. That gas only goes away from moving around or so I've been told. Ask for something else for pain if need be. Not all meds work well with everyone. I was told not everyone ends up with acid reflux. I dont know who informed you of that but you should speak to your surgeon as you said. Try to stay positive it's only day 1. Hope you start to feel better 😁

Can you quote your source for that information Mikeyy? It's a fairly sweeping statement. Most people who have a sleeve end up converting?

Yes, that is quite a judgmental statement to be throwing around. "Most people end up converting"

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
