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.

@DaisyJane I had the RNY and my doc put me on anti reflux and anti gallstones medicine for 60 days. I was surprised I never had reflux i think some doctors like to be careful.

i had surgery on october 3rd. i go for my 2 week post op apmt on wednesday. so i’m not sure how much weight i’ve lost but i was on an all liquid diet 2 weeks before surgery and then after surgery was 1oz of purée every 2.5-3hs and as of yesterday i upgraded to 2oz 4-6 times a day. it’s been pretty rough so far but it’ll all be worth it!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
