I had surgery tue am and was discharged thur afternoon, The hosp stay was fine, THe surgeon is great. I did and am having some pain, but I do have good pain meds. I feel like someone beat my belly.I keep hearing things get better daily, so I am looking forward to it. My cat just jumped from the headboard of my bed and landed with all 4 feet on my belly. OOOOWWeee. He loves me and wants to be in my lap.He is about to be banished from my b/r for the time being. I am having to practice small sips. That is hard for me. Just wanted to report in.

I was sleeved on Wednesday and believe me it gets better every day.

I was sleeved on Wednesday too. Home Friday afternoon. I think I cried for all of the hospital stay. I am not sure what I expected but the amount of pain and discomfort wasn't it. The doctor also had to repair a hyena hernia. I have the 4 small incisions and then a larger one. Now that I am home I feel like I am getting better. It's very frustrating. I am able to take my small sips. Had 1/4 c of Jello today. I know I still have gas built up in my body. I need to start walking more. In the hospital I was able to get up and walk a couple laps around the floor. Those first couple days I was wondering what the heck was I thinking!! Still feel bloated. I guess that will come with time. I hate feeling helpless at times.

Oh DelongH, Hope that you are much better today, I teasingly told Hubby yesterday that I may have had major surgery after all. THat cracked him up. I knew that each sleeve experience is unique and some peeps have a better reaction than others. I just was not expecting mine to be so unpleasant. I am complaining to much because I am not having all that much pain now and am truly doing better today.I have the same amt of incisions that you do, plus I discovered a new one yesterday. I felt a pin prick like pain under my left breast, raised it up am there was a 1 1/2 in abrasion, like a burn. I havn't had any gas, knock on wood. I had terrible gas pain when I had a lapband. I have been able to drink my shakes and Water today, also some cream Soup and Jello. So it is day by day getting better. I am not craving anything or wanting to eat. So that is good also I am so tickled that I was taken off all my diabetic meds and most of my b/p meds before leaving the hosp. I am so happy with just that. No weight loss yet, but I know it is coming. My discharge instructions included no lifting anything heavier than a milk jug, no bending over and picking anything off the floor for 4-6 weeks. So what is left except take it easy.
