July 2013 sleevers

[morninflower 3]

Hello Everyone, I just had my pre-op tests yesterday and it was a long grueling day but well worth it. By that I mean: a gastroscopy which was one long nap filled with images of Johnny Depp. Then it was on to the EKG Machine, blood and urine tests, ultrasounds etc. My big say is July 18th and although that is only about 2 weeks away, the day cannot come fast enough like many of you have shared. Best of luck everyone! :tongue2:

This was my biggest fear! I tolerate pain well' date=' but I'm a biggggg baby with nausea. They gave me a pill before surgery, they told me it was the same anti nausea med that they gave chemotherapy patients. I'm 3 days post op and haven't been nauseous once![/quote']

Wow I hope they give me something like that cause I fear being nausious too! I think I will ask my surgeon that question on my final visit with him on the 23rd

Glad to hear everything was fine I hear that nausea is a common effect after surgery. Did they give you anything for the nausea?

They gave me Zofran which helped. I am one of those freaky people who don't do well on any kinds of meds especially when put under. Since home on Tuesday my surgery on Monday I only take one pain med at night no nausea pill haven't needed it. Doing well and will be glad to have staples removed Tuesday although ouch!!!

That's how I feel. Can't wait to see the 22nd and have some time off. Lol

I plan to ask for that during admission. I also told them in pre testing I don't do we'll coming out from surgery from those I've had in the past.

Was yours an open surgery for your sleeve?

I told everyone! I told my surgeon, I told them when they were prepping for surgery, I even told the anesthesiologist and nurse in the operating room! I told them to blast me with a full arsenal of anti nausea meds even if I didn't feel nauseous. Whatever it was worked! I took the pill about a hour before surgery, and then got a shot of phenagran (sp?) every 8 hours until the next morning. I never felt one bit of nausea!!

No I have 6 incisions. My stay was roughly 24 hours. I was told nausea is normal with all bariatric surgeries.

Oh wow. That's cool. Most folks were getting the strips. All surgeons are different. All the best on your recovery keep us updated.
