I am home 2 days post op

[sunshine6855 1]

I came home today after having band removed, sleeve and gall bladder removed on Monday 3/21. Feeling pretty good except for soreness. No real pain except immediately post op. Later Monday I was not hurting much. However, I had nausea from Hell. They gave me every drug possible, multiple times and it did nothing for my nausea. Finally about 2pm yesterday, I woke from a nap and felt a little better and it was easy sailing the rest of the time. DIdn't drink much until last night and today but don't seem to have trouble drinking. I have drain in which is draining a lot so I guess its a good thing. I started with sinus problems over the weekend and coughing up crud has been my biggest thing. I don't think I would be that sore if I wasn't cough so much or so hard. Continuing with the incentive spirometer and walking. Overall, much easier that I thought it would be. I ask we all pray my journey will continue to progress positively and without problems. I can't wait to hear from everyone else who had surg on Monday.

I also had the hellish nausea for three days post-op, it was SO AWFUL to wretch so hard on that new ouchie tummy!! Every nausea drug they gave me...immediately made me throw up more. UGH. But like you, I just suddenly felt better and things improved rapidly after that.

Great news, and CONGRATS on your new sleeved stomach!!

The nausea got me too, and I dealt with it for the first 3 days. It went away gradually but not before tossing what fluids I could get down there... Its ok though, it gets better - and TG for that.

Hugs and Prayers you continue to get better every single day!!!

thanks for the prayers and support. It makes such a difference to know others have gone through the same thing and do get better. The acid reflux is bad too. I am on nexium 40 mg and it is barely doing the job. Barely is doing it though. I sure hope this get better. Getting in fluids is hard with the nausea and reflux but I am working hard. Walked 10 min. on the treadmill at a rather slow pace but I figure slow is better than none. Look forward to being a loser with the rest of you.
