Maybe I am just lucky but I have been able

To get up and around without help and not having much pain. I am really looking forward to getting through the next few days. I was also really relieved that I could take my pills because I was nervous about swallowing anything after.

Thanks everyone for being so helpful and nice and thanks for welcoming me to the losers bench- lets get this started!!!

Me and my husband were sleeved yesterday and he is in much more pain than I am, my pain level is about 3 I don't know how I am going to start my Protein now that I am home bc just taking the liquid meds make me feel so full

So First you arrive at the hospital and do your paperwork. Then they call you back have you change in to a gown and get weighed. After the weigh in they start an IV on you. The doctor & anesthesiologist come talk to you. After all that someone (usually a nurse) will come get you & walk you to the operating room. They ask you your name & date of birth. Every hospital is different, but they gave me an anti-nausea injection in to my IV, then 2 medicines that put me to sleep. The next thing I remember I was waking up in the recovery room & I was sleeved.

Walking around helps with the gas! Go for a wall!

My gas is in my chest. That crap hurts. But other than that I am doing well. I was sleeved at around 11

I was sleeved yesterday (12/10/12) also the gas pain the night of was horrible. Today it went away I walked and was able to alleviate a lot of gas and I was not in pain anymore so I begged to be discharged and I was!!. I am now home, I also just removed my onQ pump(ball) im not sure if you all had that but its a pain medicine ball my surgen uses to help numb my stomach musles that were cut, I personally cant stand anything hanging off of me or any numbing feeling so i took it out a few hours after i got home.

Now I'm just trying to get liquids down Water is so hard to drink and my stomach is so small i get full so quickly I am so happy and excited about my new life! I cannot believe I did it.

The only time I had buyers remorse was the day of because my gas pains were between a 7-9/10 the whole time after surgery.

Congrats to all of you on your sleeves. Walking definitely helps the gas pains!

Just got sleeved 2 days ago on Monday with hiatal hernia repair. Pain was nothing like I had anticipated! Gas pains are the worst of it with some nausea. Home last night (day after surgery) and already ha a shower and gotten in my 60 gms of Protein so far. Doctor said my only job for next 2 weeks is to walk and get all my fluids in! I was scared before surgery to the point of tears rolling into surgery but had no problems at all. Thankful for an opportunity to kick this fat outta here!
