Got sleeved today too

[HDubSleevery 25]

I got my sleeve this morning at 10 AM. The surgery went well and recovery so far hasn't been bad. The only pain I am feeling is from the drain and even then it is more sore than painful. I have been having issues with nausea. I have a tendency to feel nauseas from anesthesia but I am allergic to zofran (which seems to be a great drug). Dr. aceves says he hasn't encountered someone with this allergy so he using other meds on me. Earlier today I had a hard time when I sat on the side of the bed and actually dry heaved when I walked. The doctors told me it was ok to take it slow so there hasn't been a lot of pressure on me to go visit my neighbors until tomorrow.

I did wake up a few minutes ago and was able to sit up, walk myself to the bathroom, and walk around my room a bit. It is a sign I am doing better and I will take it! I have my dye test in the morning and then I will be allowed liquids. I have had a bottle of Water at my bedside to rinse my mouth and spit into a basin. Those first few hours it was invaluable because I was so dry my tongue was sticking to my cheeks!

I am a little concerned I haven't peed yet. I felt like I had to go but nothing happened. I am on my third bag of saline. Maybe I was just dehydrated?

To all today's sleevers - good luck!

congrats sleeve sister!!!!

i wouldnt worry about the pee thing, i have been having the same problem. i have been able to pee, but i have to sit there forever to get it going, plus it is really dark and i have to push it out.

i didnt get a tube. i am wondering why some people get it and others dont? mabye just some people have more Fluid build up? they wouldnt give me anything to take away the dry mouth so i had my daughter get some paper towels wet and stick them in a baggy to wet my mouth because it is all dried out. they said it was from the anti nausea med that they put into my iv.

i have been able to walk around the hospital (inside) doing laps. i have taken 3 different walks since the surgery going around 4 times each, it really helps me feel better. it relieves the pressure on my stomach.

well congrats again keep me posted on your recovery as well

I am on east coast time in my head so I was up at 4 AM this morning. I was able to pee three times so the gas is moving around. Lol- every time I take a breath the pee stops so I am holding my breath to go! I was able to get up, put my bottoms on, brush my teeth and hair, and go walk around. I think the walking helped push the gas into shoulder because it is pretty uncomfortable. The part that is worst right now is where my drain is. I dint know if it is the drain or the gas but no bueno! I just got a shot of pain meds so I will be asleep again soon. Good luck to everyone on their sleeviness.

Welcome to the other side! So glad to hear you're doing well. I woudnt worry too much about the lack of urination. The body tends to hold on to fluids after a trauma - I don't think I urinated until halfway thru day 2.

Congrats!

HDUB, you are taking me back three weeks. I was there maybe in the same room as you are now. I can't remember much about it though. It seems like three years ago. I don't think that I was ready to communicate much for awhile, and I think it is amazing that you want to and can this soon after surgery. The first three days were the worst though - I do remember that.
