I'm dealing with a flood of emotions but I'm remaining calm. I'm gonna miss my kids and husband but I told them this is my long overdue mini vacation lol. Keep me in your prayers plz I will try to update you all on how I'm feeling after the surgery but I'm expecting for it to be a fairly easy recovery. Have a good day everyone.

Good Luck! You are going to do great.

minkywinks_esposa: some time back you mentioned you were getting the single incision. Was your doctor able to stick to that plan? How are you feeling?

I was sleeved on the 2nd and I was able to come home yesterday. I was nervous going into surgery but everyone helped calm my nerves. I remember waking up from surgery in the ICU thinking WTF did I just do. I was in a lot of pain right after surgery because they didn't give me any pain meds before they woke me up. I just remember groaning loudly and coughing. I also puked a lot after surgery. I probably puked about 10+ times and I was so worried about the staple line ripping open. Drinking the barium was awful and made me barf about 3 times. They gave me lots of anti-nausea meds but nothing was working. I stopped taking morphine the 2nd day because it would make me puke and itch. Gosh it made me itch so much and then they would have to give me benadryl to combat the itching. I definitely experienced the regret phase (buyers remorse) soon after the procedure and thankkfully I knew enough about this phase and that it's totally normal. I'm feeling better as the days go on but those early days out were not fun at all.

Yup my surgeon did the single incision through my belly button and I can't even tell where he cut me. Most of the nurses couldn't even find the incision. The thing that caused me the most pain was the gas and vomiting. It was horrible but thankfully 4 days post op I'm not in any discomfort.

wish you a speedy recovery!

Thanks for sharing your experience.

Glad your recovering okay. I'm glad to know about the buyer's remorse since I have a case of the nerves now and I don't even have a surgery date yet.

Today is my 4th day post op and I feel amazing. My energy is back and I'm feeling back to normal and so happy that I have the sleeve. I've sat on the floor and played with my 12 month old, I'm sleeping better. I'm glad the fog has lifted and now I feel like I made the best decision of my life When I had the buyers remorse I knew it was normal because a lot of people posted about it but to all those people who are pre-op just know that it does pass and it gets better. Good Luck to all those who will be having surgery in the future
