hadouni 301 Posted January 8, 2012 Hi Fellow January folks.... there are three of us (that I'm aware of) heading in for sleeves tomorrow. Wish us luck! Next post sleeved! Oh - took a couple pre-surgery photos... gaakkkk!! It's amazing how long I've gone just not looking at myself. 1 runner reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hadouni 301 Posted January 10, 2012 so far the only discomfort I have is the nausea (knock on wood) and the heprin shots are no fun. they brought me chicken broth, diluted apple juice, Jello and a Popsicle for dinner. broth good, apple juice ok and jello and grape Popsicle were horrible - immediate nausea, close to barfing. Just brushed teeth and that has me a little queasy. Still have the catheter. I think they want to measure how much. sorry if tmi! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pink_140 7 Posted January 14, 2012 I'm sleeved!! Easy and pretty painless! No pain meds or anything like that. Hopefully this continues. Tomorrow I start clears if I pass my leak test. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hadouni 301 Posted January 14, 2012 Congrats Pink_140! My pain has been pretty minimal too. The nausea the first 18 hours was no fun but I've been home since Tuesday afternoon and feel great. I've walked quite a bit each day (shopping walking and walking to get my son from daycare) and my last pain pill was Wednesday night to get myself back to sleep. I feel great!
