Good luck! You will do great. One thing I didn’t know is that surgery paralyzes your bladder. This will be only for a few hours or a couple days. If they do a catheter then no issue. If they don’t, it’s so bizarre to want to pee but nothing happens. They will monitor that.

I didn’t know about bladder issues. I thought I had urinate track infection

I had DS surgery 3 weeks ago. Can anyone elaborate please?

I had my gastric sleeve this morning! Everything went well, and I've left the hospital. Still nervous about everything, but glad it's done!

Had my sleeve surgery yesterday and it went very well. Checked in at 9:15, home by 1:15...crazy! Minimal gas pains so far. Minimal pain overall actually. Having my first Protein Shake while I catch up on the boards and that is going well so far too. I keep lifting my shirt to look at my dressings to ensure I had something done. I keep waiting for the pains to set in.
I am so excited to finally be in this phase of my journey and new lifestyle!

I am now 8 days out from surgery and today is the first time I’ve felt even remotely normal. The recovery has been ROUGH! The nausea was so bad I couldn’t get in my liquids or even take the zofran pill without throwing up. The stomach spasms are something else. Ended up back at the hospital for IV fluids and a CT scan. At least I know there’s nothing wrong with the surgery. I got a prescription for scopolamine Patches which has helped tremendously, and along with crystal lite I should be able to hit my goal for liquids today. I’m also able to watch food commercials on tv that don’t make me turn queasy. The stomach spasms are still there, but are no longer overwhelming. I tried to sleep as much as I could to make this period pass more quickly. I feel as if my progress on Day 8 is equal to what so many others have progressed to on Day 2 or 3. I was definitely full of regrets the first couple of days. Now I think I can see a path forward with being able to follow the recommended diet.

I have this as a thread I started but maybe someone here can help me... It seems like no matter what I eat or drink and sometimes just laying down I get a really sharp pain under my ribs.. is that gas pain? Is it something else? Am I doing something wrong.. it makes it hard to want to eat and drink when ots painful.

      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!!
