Hi,

I'm sleeved! I remember them putting me to sleep then next thing I know I'm in the recovery room. In the recovery room I was so medicated I don't recall much and the pain was not bad at all for me! It just felt sore and like a tummy ache. I slept a lot afterwards and the nurses would check my vitals and take my blood. The Heprin shot burns but for 45 seconds. It hurts to get out of bed, but I walked twice last night. I just went to take my leak test and I passed! I'm waiting for the nurses to bring me some clear diet food. I don't have gas pains but I've been farting lol and burping. If I tolerate the Clear liquids, I can go home today. But I wouldn't mind staying another night, the nurses are great and my bed is comfy haha

Thank you for the prayers and well wishes :)

And I hope everyone surgery a went well!

Yay sleeve buddy! My tummy hurts too and sipping liquids makes my stomach cramp and /or burp or hiccup. I've not been farting though. I haven't had a bowel movement either. That and how little I'm peeing has me slightly perturbed.

I was also sleeved on Monday and I can't stop going to the little girls room. I had a good amount of discomfort but I feel good now. Minimal gas pains. The worse part was getting in and out of bed. I am up to two oz of Water per hour. They also brought me a tray of food but I didn't want it.... My surgeon jut came in and said everything looked great. They will be removing the IV soon and I will be on full liquids once I leave.

I am home now. It seems that somehow between the shower before leaving the hospital and the drive home I must have kicked something up because at home I'm in some pain again. Especially my lower gut. I just sent hubby out for gas x and colace.

How are you hanging in AD? Did they send you home yet?

I also had my surgery on Feb. 4 which included Hiatal Hernia repair and came home yesterday afternoon. I was very tired yesterday but have been up walking some today and took a shower. When I try to drink something I get pain and have to burp or think I will explode. Have this pressure in my upper chest but one of my nurses said this is normal and not to get scared that I am having a heart attack.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
