March 20th Sleeve

[JennyBeth 127]

I was sleeved on 3-20 and truthfully I was surprised by how much pain I was in! I was supposed to leave the hospital yesterday, but due to the fact that it hurts to swallow everything I have to stay an extra 1-2 more days. Please tell me it gets easier!

I was sleeved on 3/21 & I get put of the hospital today. My stomach is soooo sore. Like I just did 1000 crunches but it seems to be getting slightly better.

Berrie 23 I'm glad to here everything went well no the hard stuff starts having to eat n drink on ur own to stay hydrated it seems much easier not to eat or drink for this period

I was also sleeved on 3/20. I left the hospital on 3/21. Yesterday was really bad with pain. Today seems better. I'm able to get some of the gas out of the bottom end better which seems to have helped me with feeling bloated and uncomfortable. My incisions are less painful. I will feel a million times better after my follow up on Thursday and I get these sticker things off that they put over the incisions. I really would love to just sit in a warm tub.

The strangest thing I have been dealing with is being freezing. I am one of those always warm people. I liked having the room at 68 at all times. Since coming home, I am always shivering, and always feel cold.

I was band to VSG on 3/20 also in NYC. I came home yesterday, and the only "pain" problem i"ve had is the gas. I had a bowel movement this AM which I'm hoping will help.

But I can say that I have been feeling better as each day goes by. The common theme seems to be quick recovery once the surgery is done, so hand in there!!!
