Happy Camper 266 Posted June 5, 2012 Kstalvey, take a deep breath and let go to relax. You are in good hands because you chose your doctor, and they work closely with their staff. Bubbles, best to you today as well. Remember if you had another choice, really you would not be here. This is a choice so that you can have life or better quality of life. Hang in there...See you on the other side Sent from my iPad using VST Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kstalvey 15 Posted June 9, 2012 I made it through with flying colors!!! Lost 11lbs on my pre op diet. Went in to surgery weighing in at 270 and some how managed to gain 2lbs after my hospital stay. I just laughed because I knew it was from all those iv fluids they kepted pumping into my system. No worries though. Coming out of surgery I had trouble breathing but that soon passed. Now the trick was to hold down liquids took some time misting it was the liquid pain medication I could not hold it down even with the nausea medicine. Liquid loritab did not work for me I ended up on liquid Tylenol with codeine that stayed in me. Let me tell you puking after the sleeve very painful. I am now taking a pill for pain. I have my Pepcid and nausea pills but not really needing them. I am so ready to see results and to get past these three week of liquids only. Thanks for all the kind and inspiring words I only hope I can do the same for someone one day. Will be posting soon. 2 Janedeaux3 and Back~To~Amy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
