PoohSoup0803 45 Posted December 11, 2012 So I had my surgery today at noon. I'm sitting in the hospital recovery room. 5 small incisions & I'm on a liquid diet for 2 weeks. Overall, it wasn't too bad. A little bit of gas in my tummy from when they inflated it, but I have been walking & that helps A LOT. Anyone that is pre-op.. It wasn't that bad.. Pain is a 2-3/10. Well worth it. Today is the beginning of my new life! 11 Goodnurseg, funinthesun00, softwsolu1 and 8 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShrinkyDinkMe22 376 Posted December 11, 2012 Congrats to you! I'm laying in my bed now as well. Got sleeved around 130. Gas isn't bad at all. Had bad nausea when I got up to pee earlier that I threw up for a bit and lots of dry heaves. So they gave me some drugs for that. As long as I stay horizontal the nausea stays away. Have only gotten up twice so far. I was in recovery for 3 hours and then got to my room about 6. Have two incisions and those don't hurt but my abdomen does. Hope you have a great night and get some sleep.< /p> 1 mylastchance21 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ShrinkingMama 42 Posted December 11, 2012 I was sleeved today around noon as well. I'm lying in my hospital bed and can't sleep. The gas pain is what is killing me tho. They also found I had a hiatal hernia so she had to repair that. No nausea yet so far thank god although a little heartburn type feeling. But I think it was from the lemon glycerin swabs they were giving me for dry mouth. So I stopped those. Leak test is at 8:30am and looking forward to some water! ESP looking forward for all these wires too come off so I can put on my own clothes and walk around more. 1 ShrinkyDinkMe22 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Girlygirl88 3 Posted December 11, 2012 Congrats ladies! It's so nice to hear from some people who have had recent surgery! I am getting sleeved on Christmas Eve and I'm super nervous but very excited too! I'm glad you girls aren't feeling to bad, I'm really terrified of getting and feeling sick as its a fear of mine but I know it comes with the surgery. Wishing you ladies a speedy recovery :-) 1 ShrinkyDinkMe22 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
