Congratulations ?

Yesterday, 10/7. I tried some soup broth and then a sugar free popsicle. My stomach hurts.

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"

@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.
