Had my surg earlier today. Can u share your hospital stay story?? Were your vitals normal post op?

Congratulations! I was sleeved on 12/31. My vitals were good, blood sugar was really high, everything else was OK. You are doing good because I didn't want to go online, text, or even talk on the phone after surgery. I slept, walked after 4 hours, and then every hour or two. Hang in there!

I was sleeved today too!! Mostly sleeping it off today. Walked a little. Sugar was high. Back to normal now. Blood pressure all over the place but getting under control.

This has not been a bad experience at all. So far!!!

Congrats on the sleeve!! My vitals were always normal. Make sure you walk as much as possible, it really helps move the gas. I would take a nap, get up and walk, read, take a nap, and back to walking...

Good luck!!

Keep your pain under control. Get meds for nausea if needed too. Walk as much as possible. My blood pressure was up only when I let myself get painful.

Like jwhite692 said, I too wish I was feeling good enough to type after surgery. I was in considerable pain and the morphine drip I had didn't do much to relieve the gas pressure. My blood pressure was running up in the 190/102 level for the day and my blood sugar was 158 (even though I hadn't eaten anything for more than 24 hours). But it was all back to normal by the 2nd day after surgery.

I didn't want to but I did get up and walk the halls every 2 hours. It did make me feel better. Good luck with your recovery.

Update: going home today. No complications. Taking liquids slow and fine. No nausea. A tad of gas but not killing me. Leak test done and passed. Main issue is incision pain still but that will improve. I try to walk once an hour and practice deep breaths. Still in shock i did this but now it is time to work with it. Had a little break down yesterday, i was a bit overwhelmed mixed with incision pain. Cried like a baby. Thanks to all of you for support. .
