I was just sleeved on November 26, 2010 and wondered if anyone else out there has just had surgery. If so - interested in how they (as well as everyone else) are doing.

Hello - how soon did everyone get off of liquids and start eating small amounts of well chewed food? How do you add the ticker to your posts? If anyone will give step by step it would by greatly appreciated.

I had surgery last Friday - the 26th I think. The next day they didn't like the way the swallow test looked - said the sleeve looked to big at the top. I thought it was fine since it didn't leak but, the Dr. came in Saturday morning and said he wanted to redo it while I was in the hospital as I was paying cash and if we waited, we would incur another hospital stay. He redid the surgery Saturday. After surgery fever went to 103.5 for the day. Thought I could go home Sunday but the nurse? thought that it would be a good idea to crush and mix my effexor with water - after I had the IVs out and was in the middle of being discharged. I had the most God awful reaction I wouldn't wish on anyone (other than the nurse that did it to me - not really....) ANYWAY - had violent reaction and ended up in the hospital another night. Finally home and trying to be positive and drink I have about enjoyed all of this I can handle. All the while trying to keep this quiet with only my husband knowing I had the surgery. It will get better I hope.
