Kate27 34 Posted November 29, 2012 Got a call tonight. My surgery will be the first one Friday morning. That's great because I won't have time to dwell and be worried. It does suck cuz I got to get up @ 4 am! Anyway, hope anyone that had surgery today is recovering well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ola Tess 21 Posted November 29, 2012 Ok it's DONE!!!! Finally after almost 2 yrs. I have quite a bit of pain from one of the Incisions but I found if I get up and walk then take dome pain meds it works better and of coarse every time I get up, the easier it Is. Nausea comes and goes. The cotton mouth Is AWFUL! I keep swabbing and rinsing. Looking forward to my swallow study in 8 hrs. Good luck to u guys that go in the morning!! 1 Kate27 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NewKezia 20 Posted November 30, 2012 I was sleeved on 11/27. I must admit that the recovery was a little more painful than I had anticipated. The hospital I am at is great and my care has been superb. My room mate is the same age as me, she had the bypass. The doctor did want to release me yesterday, but I told him that I was not comfortable with the amount of fluids I was taking in, so he let me stay an extra day. I am leaving today and feel much better about it. All I can say is walking was the biggest lifesaver. And taking pain meds constantly. I am excited to start the new me!

Ola Tess 21 Posted November 30, 2012 Ok so I had surgery on wed 11/28. Everything went perfectly. Surgeon said my was liver was small and out of way so the pre op diet worked AND it only took 45 mins to do. My swallo test had no probes but I have NO appetite at all and everytime I take a sip of anything , my stomach starts cramping. Anybody else with this? I only took in 10oz yesterday by mouth. Is this how things start out? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can tolerate hot and cold fluids now. Just take your time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
