I am sleeved and home from the hospital. I am having trouble getting all my liquids in. Just does not seem to be room for them. I am also having a LOT of heart burn. fun fun fun.

Overall, doing really really well and I am excited to be able to start this part of my journey.

So bummed, my cold got worse around 1 am. I had to go to the ER, ended up with a nasty ear infection. They said the drum is close to bursting ( nice). They gave me 4 different medications to start taking. Looks like I will be canceling my surgery for Monday.

Just go. If you feel up to it go and see what they say. I got sick & started coughing with a sore throat almost 2 days prior to my big day. (1/7/13) They let me have my surgery. Drink Water, keep your sprits up and go.

& by the way, coughing hurts like hell when you have holes in your tummy.... food for thought.... It won't be totally a bad thing if they held you up a day or two... Trust me and my aching tummy..

I get to advance my diet to full liquids today! So ready for something other than chicken broth. I was sleeved on the 9th and have had zero problems so far, so I have my fingers crossed that I will make this transition smoothly. Never thought runny cream of wheat Cereal would be so appealing haha!

I was sleeved on 1/10 and the nausea/heartburn is sooooo bad that I cant come even close to taking in enough fluids. any advice?

[2013newme 42]

do you have prescription nausea and/or antiacid meds from your doc? This helps ALOT!!!

[mikamae80 14]

@ newme yes I have prescription pepcid and compazine but the nausea and heartburn continues even after I take these. this sounds crazy but I actually would rather be in pain than be sick to my stomach. i can handle pain but this nausea is making me nutty

As of right now I am on a cocktail of meds for 10 days. 2 of the meds I can't take within 7 days of surgery. I am okay canceling now. The pain from last night was unreal, I am glad it's finally under control. I will update soon with my new date. I may turn into a February sleever.

Ok better to be safe than sorry. You don't need the extra pain anyways. Pls keep me posted and get well soon.
