sleeved!!

hi everybody

its me again, im at home now. i was sleeved on the 24th of july and everything went well.

the nurses were incredible and the doctor was great.

there was no pain at all at the incision sites, however the gas pain was horrible. i vomited 12 times total during my stay in the hospital and they reassured me that that is normal.

today i went and got my leak test and that was another horrible part. i had to sip some disgusting Fluid while they check for my leakage, we had to do this twice as i vomited the Fluid twice! however the third time was a charm and i have no leakage :thumbup1:

then came the nutritionist to explain what i can eat during the next couple of weeks and brought with her some Water, apple juice, chicken stock and tea and asked me to try to sip only 30ml of each every hour and see if i can tolerate any. i didnt tolerate any of them at all till i got home, i was able to sip some of the apple juice.< /p>

i just took a shower and now im laying in bed, thank god my gas pains are over and im back to normal now.

just for those who are wondering, the price of my surgery all inclusive was 2,500 Kuwaiti dinars which is the equivelant of 8,676 american dollars. i had my surgery in Alsalam International Hospital here in Kuwait.

if you got any questions, please ask!

regards

Congrats. Sounds like everything with the surgery went well. Some people on the boards here say Gas X strips help with the gas pains. Hopefully you can get some or something similar. Please keep us posted with your progress.

I'm sorry to hear about the vomiting! Geez, that must have been terrible! No vomiting now that you're home, right? It seems like that must have put a lot of strain on your incisions! Glad to hear no leak!

Take care of yourself and keep us posted!
