My sleeve procedure went off without any problems. I was sleeved on nov 24 and was home the next morning. I woke up in a lot of discomfort and shoulder pain, all from the Carbon dioxide given during surgery. About a couple hours after recovery, I was determined to get up and walk, so I did. I walked the hospital halls 3x that day and it helped tremendously with gas pains. I SIPPED on ice chips and water, and was able to eat 1/4 of a SF jello. I was very nauseous upon waking up, I was given meds for that and I haven't been nauseous since. So today marks day 3 post op, and I'm doing great. I've stayed in check with clear liquids only and walking at least 2x a day. I'm still on pain meds, one in the am and one in the pm. Gas pains and shoulder pain have subsided. Other than being very sore, head-hunger & growing tired of clear liquids, IM GOOD.

My surgery is Nov 24, report at 6am in Slidell, Louisiana. I AM NERVOUS AS ALL HELL

I'm in Biloxi, surgery is Monday in Slidell with Dr. Balder. My nerves got me right now.

Sleeve surgery for me is Monday Nov 24 in Slidell, LA with Dr. Balder. Nerves have the best of me right now. My procedure is laparoscopic. I've had 3 c-sections the long incision way, from the belly button down, and pre-op nurses said this surgery will not be as bad as sections.....????? I HOPE THEY RIGHT!!
