FEBRUARY SLEEVERS 2013....how you doing after you've been Sleeved

[JackieV 246]

I am feeling better everyday. I just wanted to give a heads up to everyone: stay on your stool softeners or Miralax. Going into TMI, I had gone small tiny amounts a couple times since surgery, at one point I thought the "water" time cleaned me out. Today I had/have the mother of all Constipation. No joke, hours, Some relief but I know the job isn't finished yet.

Even if you think you are okay, take it as a precaution. I will never go a day without it again.

Ginger tea has helped with the gas and stomach pain! I also thought I could live without gas x, heck no!

Hello all. Here goes my first post! I was sleeve on the 7th and have done far better than I ever expected. I think I had read so many horror stories I had expected the worst. I did the preop diet for 7 days and was shocked I made it that far. I lost 8 lbs pre-op and have lost 11 since surgery. No complaints there. The first two days were the worst as I had horrible chest pains. I had some issues the first night in the hospital with dangerously high blood pressure and blood sugar levels. I had to be given insulin for the first (and hopefully last) time in my life. I am able to swallow most liquids without any problems, but have pain with Soups and applesauce. I tried some sf pudding the other day and was only able to eat half a pudding cup. Amazing! I went to work today for a few hours to take care of some essentials, but I tired quickly. So far I am very happy with my sleeve decision!!

Hey everyone, I was sleeved on the 11th and they released me from the hospital the next day. I have had nausea and heartburn and had the doctor call me in some Zofran today. Just in case I have another issue like last night. Other then that I walk around and feel pretty good.

You just got butchered hunny, it is normal to feel pain like that. They doped me up all day with Dilaudid so I only felt bad pain as soon as I woke up the day of. Ask them to give you this anti inflammatory injection if I remember it correctly it was called Zoldol or something like that. That is the wonder drug because the next day I was feeling awful with the sharp pains. I have been pretty good since that injection and all you need is one. Good luck

I was sleeved on feb 5. I experienced pain for a week after mine and still have a hard time feeling comfortable enough to sleep well. Hang in there it will get better! Remember the end result!

I did when I had to have a deep breath. It got better day after day. They said its from your lungs expanding onto your new stomach.

Thought we could all convene here after our Feb sx so we could stay in touch....

Good thinking. I like hearing everyone's progress as I'm preparing for my sleeve next Friday.
