Sleeved Yesteray On May 1St!

[staceylucas 1]

I was sleeved yesterday. I am now home.

The worst problem i had was with the gas in my chest/shoulders/neck.

Don't underestimate walking! As soon as i came out of recovery I started walking immediately and throughout the night. Was still feeling really bad thi smorning around 5am adn didn't know how they would possibly be able to release me. But starting around 9am I started feeling better and better.

The surgeons also found a hernia and repaired it (wasn't that nice!)!

I had a hard time sipping Water last night. Even one small sip feels like you gulped a bunch of air. But I tried a popsicle and it didn't give me a problem. So, I've had 5 or 6 popsicles today and am finally able to sip on gatorade w/out pain.

If you have any questions, let me know!!!!

How often did you get up and walk during the night? And you were up and walking right after getting to your room from recovery? I hope I can do that.

I got up and walked 15 min after I got out of recovery. I was in so much pain from the gas issues that it was the only think that helped. I walked as often as possible. My mom was there at the hospital so she helped me. I think the walking helped a lot! I got sleeved at 3pm.... was walking at 6pm. By 4am the next morning, most of the worst was over with as far as gas pains. Now I'm home and feeling great. Every hour has me feeling better and better

It did not hurt at all to use the bathroom. In fact, this may sound funny, but sitting on the toilet is one of the more comfortable positions! You don't have a bowel movement until day 2... so that will be today I hope. But still, should not be an issue at all with that. Once I got rid of the gas pains, now i'm mostly just stiff. I wen tto bed at 10pm and woke up at midnight and now at 2am... just stiff and sore,needed to move around.
