any one having a sleeve done in nov mine nov 1 I need a buddy to help me along on this journey

Hi all,

I’m four days post op, with my op day being 15th Nov. Everything seems to be going OK after a shaky start right after they finished surgery as I was into anaphylaxis due to an unknown allergy to one of the meds used.

I’m up and about and out of hospital, feeling pretty good with only very minor pain.

I can get thru enough liquid, but have woken each night feeling uncomfortable, not sure if it’s reflux or nausea, it only happens after I have been sleeping for longer than a few hours. After I burp or go for a walk it passes for a short time, but doesn’t go away completely until I’m up and about for the day.

Just wondering if I should be worried, or if it’s normal?

Sounds like gas? Should go away in a few days.

Heyyyy guys I’m already on the other side! Last night was rough but with enough pain meds I survived the night. I’m taking in most of my liquids but very slowly because I become very gassy. I’m getting discharged today. I hope everyone that had there sleeve done 11/18 had a some what good experience in the hospital

Fyi my hospital gave me peppermint to sniff for nausea. It works!!

I'm still waiting to get discharged.

It def is gas. I feel the way . Once I burp or let it out it feels so much better.

Have been having the WORSE sciatica pain in my hips for 3 days. Burning and painful. Hurts to sit still. Medication is not helping. Walking gives me relief. Saw my surgeon today and he told me that because I'm losing weight (30 lbs since surgery) its changed my center of gravity and my gait. Apparently this is a common complaint of people losing weight. Its gonna take some time to resolve but I'm hopeful it will. Was just another unexpected outcome!

Made it to the other side. Been walking and drinking my water. Lost a total of 24lbs. I'm ready to keep it moving

Wonderful!

I'm up tomorrow! 8:30 (EST) surgery. I'm excited to finally make this step!

And i get dizzy whenever I walk or do ANYTHING any body experience this?

Dizzy isn’t good. Are you keeping hydrated? Hope you’re doing better

I’m on the 26th

Surgery on the 18th went well. Wasnt able to leave yesterday as I anticipated due to drs having issues with my fistula for dialysis. Was able to have dialysis this morning and getting to go home. No major pain or discomfort, in feeling way better than I thought I would. Looking forward to the rest of this journey now!

Wonderful!

Great job!
