kpodle 3 Posted April 7, 2011 It's done. I was sleeved this past Monday April 4. Was discharged this morning. Things went really well. Today my surgeon dropped off pics of my stomach pre and post sleeve. Kinda gross but interesting. Doing a lot of walking to help with the gas cramps. Taking in as much fluids as I can and began taking my Vitamins. Hospital staff (scripps memorial hospital in San Diego) were amazingly helpful. I'm also lucky that my partner is a med surge nurse so he stayed with me and took care of me as well. 3 days out I'm feeling really good and looking forward to progressing through the food stages...

Candace2314 117 Posted April 8, 2011 Hi, i had surgery on monday as well. Did you have any chest pains due to gas? I've taken the prescription for it that was given to me and its not helping. The gas is so horrible. If it wasnt for the gas I would feel at about 90%. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Candace2314 117 Posted April 8, 2011 I've been walking since I was coherent and its not really helping at all. I walked my apartment complex this morning. I hope it goes away soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
