I was sleeve on 12/17 and the first three days were the hardest. Gas pain do go away with time. I can now get my 64 oz of Water and today I can start stage 2 purée food. So, be patient, have the right attitude, sleep a lot, sip,sip,sip liquids and in couple more days you will be feeling much better. Merry Christmas and be bless that you got your best gift ever a new start in life.

Congrats and Merry Christmas,

I am 7 days post op. This is also the very first time that I am reaching out to a support group. Today is actually going to be very hard for me. Last night my pain meds ran out and I feel incision site. I suppose as I type this, I realize the pain is not excrutiating but rather discomfortable and annoying, Mainly, because I have to concertrate on sipping, breathing, and walking. I also have very bad dry cough. Both of these combined makes resting very difficult. Other than those two things, everything is healing beautifully.

Is there a drug store open near you on xmas? Children's liquid tylenol might provide some relief until you can visit your doctor

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
