I passed out yesterday and had to be transported via ambulance to the hospital. I did not fully come to until the paramedics got there. I saw my surgeon today and he said everything looks fine with my sleeve. I am still weak and tired. Everything I eat makes me nauseous. I do not like feeling good. I'm very afraid if I don't go back to work soon I will have to quit. I feel horrible

Hey there! Came home today 10/12 from band converted to sleeve on 10/10! Came home with drain due to the conversion. I'm feeling great other than some gas pains. Hoping to get back on the losing path again!

Hi Oct Sleevers,

Had my surgery on Tues 10/9 so I am 3 days post op now. I am doing well but was curious to know if others are experience some discomfort after swallowing? It feels like a sore spot in my stomach and I am sure it will get better but just wanted to know if anyone else is experiencing something similar. sin

Doc has me giving myself shots of Lovonox in my stomach twice a day. I am doing it but really not comfortable with giving myself needles. Has anyone else had to do this as well? I have to do it for 10 days.

I am home and feeling a lot better after leaving the hospital. Been walking a lot too so gas is not an issue anymore. Very tired though.

Anyway, congrats to all my fellow Oct Sleevers and I hope you are all doing great!

I know this is TMI but since I had surgery Tuesday I couldn't release gas or make a bowel movement, as of today I haven't stopped! I'm so gassy and so much diarrhea! My stomach is constantly gurgling and rumbling lol! It's annoying! How long do u think this will take place! I'd like to sleep tonight! :/

I was sleeved 10/9 as well . I am just starting to itch some. There is one incision spot that is pretty painful, but don't feel the other 4. No BMW, but gassy. I can't wait to feel more normal.
