I Am Sleeved!

[MKinVA 20]

I was sleeved on Monday, July 30 and came home Wednesday afternoon, August 1!

Aside from a couple bumps in the road, this was quite doable!

First bump: deferred, strong pain right over the upper left chest. After going through some cardiac precautions (blood enzymes and echocardiagram), was determined to be gas pain! Whew on that one!

Second bump: I have atrial fibrillation and woke up last ***ht (my first ***ht home, sleeping in my own bed) with definite atrial fibrillation, something I hadn't expereinced for almost a year! The episode lasted only an hour and the cardiolgist from bump #1 said that it was asymptomatic and was not a medical emergency unless is persisted for 24 hours. I am already on Lovenox, so blood clotting was not an issue. Whew on that one as well!

I have been moving around well and having very little problem except trying to get all the required Water in! How do you do it?

I am no longer needing the pain medication but I do have this On-Q ball on a strap with tubes running into my belly. I will be glad to get rid of that soon!

I only have an occasional twinge or cramp, but nothing unbearable!
