stacygrdnr 92 Posted December 14, 2012 The 11th as well. Went home in 2 days due to not enough liquids but my sis had the procedure done 30 min after me by the same surgeon and she went home next day. Hang in there the nausea gets better. I have a patch behind my ear to help with it. Just sip sitting up every commercial break. Good luck everyone!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ShrinkyDinkMe22 376 Posted December 15, 2012 I was the 10th and doing ok. I was in the hospital until last night. My first leak test in Tuesday didn't go well as my sleeve was very swollen. Did a repeat yesterday and it went much better. First couple of days were rough with regret, nausea, some vomiting. But I got though it and am now home. On the plus side I don't have much pain. Haven't had pain meds since Tuesday night. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
asherje 81 Posted December 15, 2012 I was the 10th, went home Wednesday. I'm miserable, having esophageal spasms. Most of the gas pains have subsided. I'm just so miserable, I don't even want to try drinking anything. I've been decent at sipping Water, was suppose to start full liquids today but doctor wants me to stay on clears to help the spasms, I follow up with them Tuesday and another barium swallow and see what's the status of my sleeve. I'm regretting ever doing this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MsThickSlimSexy 65 Posted December 15, 2012 I would just take in small amounts no more than 3oz even though you can take more. You don't want to stretch your stomach or cause a leak. I would play it safe. Simply because I don't wish to be weary or miserable and perhaps call Dr. Monday....I feel I can take in more but I do not. Best of luck.

I hope you get some answers and get on the mend very soon. Please keep me posted. You will be in my prayers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
asherje 81 Posted December 16, 2012 Esophageal spasms are abnormal contractions of the muscles in the esophagus (the tube that carries food from the mouth to the stomach). These spasms do not move food effectively to the stomach. Causes, incidence, and risk factors The cause of esophageal spasm is unknown. Very hot or very cold foods may trigger an episode in some people. Symptoms •Difficulty swallowing or pain with swallowing •Pain in the chest or upper abdomen •It can be hard to tell a spasm from angina pectoris, a symptom of heart disease. •The pain may spread to the neck, jaw, arms, or back Doctor said was side effect of surgery that they see occasionally. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/esophageal-spasms/DS00763 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jerilo10 26 Posted December 16, 2012 I had mine in the 11th and I'm home doing pretty good. I got so hungry today that I had potatoes really mashed in my mouth. Maybe 2 little pieces and some thin noodle Soup 2 oz for Breakfast. I also had a sugar free Popsicle for dinner I'm so full right now. But feeling really good other than that!
