I have my sleve!

I was sleeved yesterday morning by Dr. Alvarez in mexico. Everything is going great. Very minimal pain. Mostly just gas pains that hit but walking some is helping that. At first I really did not think my "tummy" felt any different until I had some ice chips. Then I knew something was definitely different. A little nervous about this process and praying I can get myself healthy and stay healthy with this sleeve!

How did it feel when you ate the ice chips?

When I swallowed it felt like it just stayed right there. I did not hurt but I had to take a deep breath and straighten up if that makes any sense. It is getting a little easier.

Glad to hear everything went very well for you. Those first few sips are the toughest, but it does get better. Keep us posted on your progress, and I'll keep you in my thoughts.

Ice chips were the best for me with my uncomfortable tummy, just let them melt. Nothing else felt good. I had a good bit of nausea on day 2 that caught me offguard, nothing was moving up or down. Dr. Aceves kept asking are you passing gas??? High five when I did. Walking also helped, even when I didn't want to move an inch. Each day was better and better. Now waiting out the clears.
