I was sleeved one week ago today. My Dr did'nt want me up and walking on the same day. I had a pain pump, so I really stayed ahead of any pain. (if I did, the dilauded fixed it, because there really was'nt ANY). You will get cotten mouth, so I was able to use the sponge on a stick to clean my mouth. I was also able to "swish and spit" to help with being thirsty. As for gas....didnt really have any of that either. I did have a slight fever, and low blood pressure; easily fixed. The only issues I had were Water retention from head to toe. That came off as soon as I got home. And the one time i did have nausea was after the swollow study....ick!!! Everyone is so different. Just as I, you will heal in your own way. Good luck! Keep us updated!!
