Hi all, I am new to this forum and have a few questions.
My name is Cassy and I got my gastric sleeve on September 10th at 9am. I'm very pleased with my weight loss and the overall effects of surgery, but my surgical experience was terrible! I woke up in recovery feeling as if I was being suffocated due to the gas pressure which lasted a day. A lot of my hospital stay was a blur of pain meds and long naps. I've had a c section and gallbladder surgery, but this was by far the most painful procedure. I'm so jealous of those who had no issues! I was out of the hospital in 2 1/2 days and I'm currently eating soft foods. I am already back to work. I'm a CT technologist and I'm on my feet 12 hour shifts. Is anyone else feeling sore and worn down? Any helpful suggestions. I'm scared to drink a 5 hour energy, but I'm a night shifter and have an hour drive into work and need to stay awake! Any helpful suggestions on boosting my energy?
