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?

Ready to go!!

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!

Congratulations...take it easy...

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!

yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! And the reset begins.....

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.

Hi Lillimint!

So I am 9 days out from sleeve surgery.

I'm sorry to hear about all your troubles. I Don't want to rub it in but I've had the opposite. I've felt great and was surprised by this. I do have to say that this in itself is a problem for me because I don't know if after all this if the sleeve is working. I think if I was told I had to i could drink 8oz all at once. I'm not starving but I could surely eat if I was allowed. I've stuck to my pre and post op diets to a tee!

I actually wish a had a wee bit of what you went through so I can rest assure this will work for me!

I'm glad you are on the mend.

I just thought that it might be nice to hear from someone who actually was envious of you!

Good luck and hopefully we will both be successful in our journey ahead!
