AA Sleevers; where are you; what's your status??

Hi all... I'm about 24hrs post sleeved. Everything went well. When I first woke up however I had major pains n which point I was given more meds and fell back asleep. I'm up walking on my own (baby steps). The pain is still here but nothing too intolerable. I was able to get my Water down no problem. I do notice that everytime after I drink I feel as if I have to burp. Which makes an uncomfy feeling in my stomach that goes away almost as quickly as it came. Other than that I'm doing fine

Congrats on having a succesful surgery!!! I'll be joining u on the other side on 9/12, if God's willing. Keep us posted. Good luck..

4 days out ..and I must say I'm doing pretty well. Surgery was Thursday morning at a facility in Glendale (however my surgeon is based out of cedar-sinai) the hours right after surgery and up until yesterday were very painful. Nothing the pain meds couldnt control though. I havent vomited once which I think is pretty good... it has however been a struggle to get my needed liquids in ... i just get so full quickly. Today I feel really well and almost no pain (just the uncomfort of my drain which will be removed Tuesday). I'll be lucky to get half a bottle of my Isopure in today..

What exactly is the drain? Is this a device left in the body?

Hey Jai: Glad you are feeling better. Be sure to get those liquids in, so that you won't get dehydrated. Welcome to the winner's bench!

Totally overlooked this question I'm sorry. Yes the drain is left inside for the remaining fluids to 'drain' out nto a tube connected to u. Mine was taken out on the 6th day post op

Hi everyone. I'm new and haven't posted very much; just been educating myself and reading all of the forums. I'm excited, apprehensive and hopeful all at once! LOL

I start my post-op on October 4th and surgery is scheduled for October 18th.

Best wishes to me and to all of you!
