Hello there....I was "sleeved" on 9/08. I didn't experience the gas pains that you talk about (thank God) however, I did have lots of nausea. I had nothing in my stomach so when I would try to vomit, nothing came out so it was painful because of the incisions. I too got the scopalamine patch and it seemed to do the trick.

I'm home now and trying to rest and recover. I've lost 10.3lbs according to the scale...woo hoo!!! I'm focusing on trying to get my protein in. A difficult task for me cuz

most all the shakes I've tried are gross!! No real hunger yet but my mind is playing tricks on me and when my family is eating I still seem to crave food!! I'm hoping that

subsides.

Today is exactly one week post op. I'm planning to go for a nice walk this am. Looking forward to getting out and getting some fresh air

Good luck with your journey! Doesn't it feel great to have it behind you now??

Glad to hear not everyone experienced the gas since my surgery date is Sept 27th. Hang in there, sounds like you've got a great start already! 10.3lbs!!! YEA for you.

Congratulations... My surgery date is scheduled for the 29th of...this month....as-well I am a little nervous about going back to work and what to expect the first 4 days after surgery....10.3 pounds is awesome...Pokey where are you having your surgery at?
