Sleeved - April 10, 2012

[Sap Soon 3]

Hi everyone

Got Sleeved yesterday by Dr. Nicholson at Forest park.

I was extremely nervous prior to the procedure. Prior to the surgery starting Dr. Nicholson and team spoke with me and wife. It really did help to calm down some nerves.

Procedure started around 11 am. I was wheeled in to the OR and that's all I remember. After that woke up in recovery area - around 1:30am. They give me some good stuff. Immediately after waking I was in some pain. The nurses explained how to use the pain medication via the IV. After a couple pumps 10 mins apart seemed to help. There was no nausea at that point. got to room around 3:00pm.

The big thing for me was that the IV fluids were making me pee quite a bit..

Soon after that I tried to walk and was able to about half the lobby area. No real discomfort. The walk seemed to help , but I was extremely tired. Have been able walk about qtr of mile in total so far. The bigger incision still hurts and the gas pains start randomly but not very often.

Will add more lAter today as typing on the phone is surely draining my batteries as well as the phones . Good luck to everyone with their surgeries and recovery. We will get through this.

Soon
