October Sleevers! Announce Yourselves

[kmoore 97]

Had my surgery on 10/16. I came home last night. The worse thing for me so far is being so tired all the time. I'm trying to get all my liquids in but feel like I'm failing at that. My stomach keeps rumbling even if I'm not hungry. Is there something I can do to help with the rumbling?

I think that will be an ongoing thing for awhile. Mine hasn't stopped rumbling at all and I'm not hungry either. A fellow coworker of mine had her sleeve last December and said her tummy will still rumble from time to time without being hungry...though it is not constant anymore

If you are still taking the narcotic painkiller they give you to take at home' date=' try using just Children's Tylenol instead. That narcotic will make you very tired and lazy. Some people also just have a hard time shaking the anesthesia for a few days. I didn't start having any energy at all until this afternoon. I haven't taken the lortab until just a few minutes ago to help me sleep tonight. Also, the more fluids and Protein you get in, the more energy you will have. Good luck. I know you can do it <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />[/quote']

If I switched to the children's liquid Tylenol woul it need to be diluted?

Hi Everyone' date='

I have been reading these forums or several weeks, so much helpful information!

My sleeve procedure is scheduled for October 18th, with Dr. Amit Trivedi.

I'm just plain SCARED.

Any advice on how to find some much needed courage? Most of my fears are regarding the procedure and anesthesia itself. I'm also worried about having regrets about having an "irreversible" procedure. I already regret the permanent tattoo I got on my 17th birthday (lol). Anyone who anyone who regretted being sleeved?

Thanks in advance

Slight change of plans......due to finding Barrett's on my endoscopy two days ago (no symptoms)' date=' I will now have RNY instead of sleeve on Wed. Oct 24th. A small hiccup in the grand scheme

of things....[/quote']

Do you mind sharing exactly why they choose bypass for you?

I cam home yesterday afternoon. Sleeved 10/17. I have a lot of rumbling too. part the rumbling is all the excess air in your belly. Walk, walk,walk they told me. Well, my new best friend has been my hot Water bottle. Way better than a heating pad, because you have some pressure as well. I laid down with it, and the gas just kept creeping out all night. I'm glad I decided to use ir over a heating pad. As for hydration, everyone is different, but sf popsicles have been my best friend. Edy's are the best, but Walmart sells some for $2 that are real good. Decafe cold tea with lemon has been great too. Remember your belly is healing and cold does help relieve inflammation. As far as sleepy, I believe the narcotics were my issue. Now I just take liquid tylenol. BIG DIFFERENCE! I hate feeling loopy and groggy. Well, I hoped I. helped a little. Good luck to you!

I'm at the end of day 4 and feeling 100% on each day before. The gas is the biggest pain/annoyance. But being less tired I am as others have said walking walking walking and sip sip sipping the Water. The gas is slowly coming out. On creamy liquids today more Protein has helped a lot with energy. Had a bit of a scary thing happen last night. Kept waking with terrible headache In hospital had O2 at night due to not breathing well (abdominal gas) anyways woke, killer headache and then started dry reaching felt so sick went on 10mins now thing it was my bowels shifting as had a BM the next morning. But was scary and hurt tears were streaming involuntary down my face, slept up in a couch once I stopped wrenching. Had a coma like sleep then BM and was fine had a few BM's sorry if this is so TMI for some but may interest others and I didn't understand what the hell was happening.

I was all set to have VSG. I had my endoscopy and they found Barrett's....cannot do a VSG if Barretts progresses to dysplasia to cancer. A bypass will help with the Barretts. I had no

other symptoms like heartburn or acid reflux.

I can't believe it! Getting sleeved on October 24th I am stocked up and ready to go. I feel blessed to have the opportunity to do something good for myself "ME" I am following through with this. I can do it

[brandy79 39]

So tomorrow is the day! The doctor just called me to see if I had any questions and give me a couple of instructions. He is so great. Pretty much ready. Bag is packed. Family is all set up for the week. I keep thinking I am missing something.

Good luck everyone going in this week.
