Hello all, I have been out of surgery for about 6 hours, and I am just trying to navigate everything. Most of what they told me at the hospital was when I was too drugged up to comprehend it all. Firstly, I have been sleeping all day, but getting up to walk every 2 hours. How long do these mini walks to avoid blood clots need to last? Is it okay for me to continue sleeping while doing this until I am not tired anymore? I hardly got any sleep last night, because my brain was all over the place. I have also been almost vomiting, which just ends up being a burp. I can't really control it. Is that okay at this point? I am terrified of damaging anything. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much. I feel a lot better knowing this info. Also, I should have mentioned this is my post, but didn't think about it. My surgery was actually Outpatient, so I only spent about 5 hours in the hospital this morning and then got sent home. I think that has been the hardest part, just not having staff to turn to, but this community is amazing. [emoji846] Sent from my SM-N986U using BariatricPal mobile app
