I was sleeved on the 6th so now officially one week, the first few days are the worse, In minnesota they keep us in the hospital for 3 days, the nurses really keep you on a schedule of pain med/nausea meds and walking really helps, also on Clear liquids for 7 days after surgery. I did not feel that I had so much "gas" pain, I had just downright pain, in the middle of my stomach. I does get better, today was my best day so far. Hope you feel better soon and lots of happy weight lost to you.
