rndani85 10 Posted February 13, 2013 Contrary to what I'd thought before surgery, having the sleeve was NOT a breeze. I awoke with horrible nausea that took hours upon hours to get under control. I wish the anesthesiologist had listened to me when I told him I had a history of post op n/v The gas pains were far worse than any of the incisional pain. Walking did relieve most of that for me. I went home the next day around 1pm. I really wish I had a hospital bed here at home! Those side rails were a gift from God! I have a really tall bed, unfortunately. I find that lying on my sides is easier than lying on my back, but I'm unable to get comfortable no matter how I lay. I can't wait until all this soreness goes away so that I'm able to sleep like I did before! As far as food goes...bleck. I haven't been able to get 6 small meals in yet. It still sort of hurts when I drink or eat something. I'm looking forward to being one week out. Maybe then things will be better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
