February Sleevers

[rct 16]

Good luck! Keep me posted

Must be a Monday thing! I was sleeved on the 18th and I have Fluid on my lungs due to the anesthesia. Tonight it feels like someone is stabbing me in the chest on my left side when I breathe, and when I laid down to sleep around 9:00, I felt like I was suffocating. I totally panicked. Waiting to hear back from my surgeon and hoping it's not progressed to a partially collapsed lung!

Did the doc or nurses give you spirometer to do breathing exercises? It's very important to do them about 10 times an hour to keep your lungs from getting groggy after going under. I hated doing them bc I felt like a brick was on my chedt but it really did help.

Same here the 15 and is crazy. Walk a lot it helps. Lay on your side and you would start passing gas in a few. It work for me and many others.

Thanks!

That would be me. Not much on gas pains but right side incision burns bad. I have to use a stomach binder and that helps but still feel that horrible burning. When I take off the binder, I almost want to pass out and throw up from the pain.

Susie, I was revisioned band to sleeve on the 14th. I too was in a lot of pain the first 4 days but then it became quite manageable. Walking helps tremendously. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Is the binder something the hospital gave you, or something you chose to use? I know I've needed support for my stomach and I've gotten buy with just a small pillow...are your incisions puffy, red, or discharging at all? If it continues, I would contact your doc!
