mvickyway 256 Posted February 19, 2013 I've been really good, started MT clear diet a day early and am on bowel cleaner today but I am pretty sure I am going to skip the enema. My sister had same procedure with same surgeon and skipped it too and I really don't want to do it. Thoughts?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kleonetti 22 Posted February 20, 2013 I'm officially sleeved!! I went down at 8 this morning so I am about 12 hours out! I have a lot of nausea but that's because I do not handle anesthesia or pain medicine very well. My stomach is definitely sore, but I had my lapband taken and and reversed to a sleeve so my doctor told me I would be since he would be messing with scar tissue. The pain is still manageable though, the worst part is the nauseas but I just have to wait for the to wear off!! I am extremely happy that I made this decision to have surgery and I'll gladly take a little pain for a shot at a new healthier life! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
