[sarahec 18]

Ok fellow sleevers!!!! I just got home from the hospital' date=' my surgery Monday, jan.7th.

I was in horrible pain after surgery and all night. They have me dilauded and zofran and was still hurting so bad, but my nurse didn't giver anything else. Finally this morning the bariatric nurse practitioner came to see me and told me that it was unacceptable that I was still in pain. She have me Toradol and I felt like a new person! So my advice - ask for toradol right away!!!!

Good luck!!![/quote']

Had mine on Monday too. I'm at home now. The gas pains were awful at first now I am just hurting when I move to sitting to standing. Still taking zofran and loratab. My surgeon said sleevers have the worst nausea ever..so I am hesitant to stop the zofran. I'm sleeping a lot just because of the pain meds! Good luck!

Today is my 1st day on the 2week preop diet. I still have the 1 meal left to have, but I'm feeling pretty good. Can I still go to the gym during this phase??

Hi January Sleevers, I went today and got my chest xray, ekg and lots of blood work.

In fact they took 12 vilals of blood!! Have any of you had that much blood work? Tomorrow the family doc and then I will be ready for Jan 9. I also need to lost 3 more lbs.

Yep, they took that much blood for me too.

I'm laying here in bed trying to sleep but too anxious to sleep .I have to be up in 5 hours to head for the hospital. I have a two hour drive to the hospital and check in at 7:30! I'm excited and nervous at the same time. I stopped eating at 8 with a little Water until 10. I can't wait to be on the other side of this surgery. Good luck to everyone else going in today And in the next couple days to come!!!
