I've been sleeved... my story! :)

[peatie 4]

I was sleeved on Wednesday. Everything went well, other than serious nausea in PACU where they gave me three antiemetics before anything worked (zofran, reglan, phenergan). I also was one of the few beginners who was given an anti-nausea wrist band..which didn't work.

Day two was horrible! I had the worst BACK pain. It was worse than my tummy area. I couldn't sit or lay down, and the pain meds were making me nauseated, so I stopped pressing my PCA. It was baaaad! What finally relieved it was a dose of Toradol and some oxycodone, which was a life saver! By Day 3 I was doing great... getting my 4oz/hour in and walking the halls like i was preparing for a marathon. I'm home now and other than the largest incision site which is very tender, i'm having no issues. I never had any gas pains from the surgery, only the horrendous back pain from laying flat on my back for half a day.

I weigh the exact same pre-op and post-op, so my body did not hold onto any IV fluids. I can now join the loser's bench!! Yippeeee!!

Congratulations, and welcome to the bench. I'm 10 days out, and sitting on the other side from you!!

Sorry to hear of all your pain and nausea, but hopefully that's a think of the past.
