I agree with all of this ^^^^^

i was not offered a block when I got my sleeve done. I was a few weeks ago when I had rny revision. The block made a major difference in pain levels.

Good luck to all of you!

Wow lots of people giving themselves the greatest Christmas present--the gift of health! Good luck, y'all-you got this!???

you can do it for sure you got this stay positive welcome to the loosers bench pray for a speedy recovery

Update: Pain and nausea are under control. Been on the floor 3 hours and have been up to the bathroom twice and done 5 laps around the unit, which seemed to surprise the surgical resident doing her night shift rounds. It’s been an interesting day to say the least. I am super grateful for my wonderful husband for being so supportive and helpful in my decision to have a healthier life. Now time to rest a while!!! Thank you everyone for your positive thoughts and prayers!!!
