hey everyone! just wanted to let ya'll know that i'm home from my sleeve, resting...gettiing my fluids in and am about to unjury chicken soup protein. My doc said over the next few days just to try and focus on water because dehydration during this time period is likely to occur and he doesn't want me bloated on protein and not taking in water. Boiy, my experience was different than i thought. I woke up from surgery with a great deal of pain on my lieft side but as soon as i told my nurse it was controlled. The doctor said my case was difficult because my liver didn't shrink as much as expected leaving him not much room to get around in my belly. I did have a drain placed to help rid excess fluid out my abdomen, which was removed this morning before i came home... I made it home in time to go to my sons football game and i was ok there. I'm feeling just tired and a little weak but everyday is getting better and hopefully will continue to..... talk to everyone soon!
