Neoteric Verve 65 Posted April 13, 2012 Not nervous. Ready to be done and to learn how to eat better with the sleeve. Praying for a fast recovery. Not to worry, the hard part's over. You can handle the rest with ease. Congratulations on the first day of your new life! 1 chrysler reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carly 56 Posted April 13, 2012 Sleeve finished. I feel I'm doing very well. I can walk pretty far already. Not alot of gas pains. Hey congrats! Hope you heal quickly! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
esheldon76 50 Posted April 13, 2012 Doing really well all. There's pain but probably only because I'm pushing myself. The pain from the CO2 isn't bad because I'm walking a bunch. Meds going down well and staying on top of them. Hoping I can feel well enough to get back to work ASAP. 2 Vsglass and KishaE reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HealthyMrsG 25 Posted April 15, 2012 Yay!! When u wake up from the anesthesia sip walk sip walk. Let out the gas and sip to soothe your throat from the tube inserted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
esheldon76 50 Posted April 15, 2012 Yay!! When u wake up from the anesthesia sip walk sip walk. Let out the gas and sip to soothe your throat from the tube inserted. Yup, my wife is a nurse and she had the band a few years ago, so I know all about how that gas pain looked, and so I was up and moving as fast as I could. It's been a few days now, and honestly, I'm surprised at how well I feel! My doctors did an amazing job, and the pain meds are doing what they should. I'm not pushing myself too hard, but just taking it easy and letting my body heal. I told my boss I might have to take some days off this week, but it's looking ilke I'll be able to go back to work on Monday! I won't be able to lift anything, but I'm an IT guy, so I can work from my computer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
