DonRodolfo 1,416 Posted May 31, 2013 I live in San Marcos, tx and having my sleeve done June 18th with Dr. Pitcher in San Antonio. I am going through a mix of emotions such as happy, scared, unsure. I was wondering if this was normal? Your post caught my eye because my daughter is a senior at Texas State. Completely normal to have all those emotions and more. I kept trying to find excuses to not have to do it. In the end I reminded myself why I did it. I had to do it because living the way I had been living at my weight was no longer acceptable to me. FWIW, I didn't experience pain near what I expected. The laproscopic incisions never bothered me except for the occasional itch (I was told yesterday that itching means it's healing well). When I woke up from surgery all I felt was an intense gas crap that was easily relieved with pain meds. A couple days later the pain was no worse than how sure you would feel after doing 1000 situps the day before. They gave me liquid hydrocodone to take when I got home and life is good. I feel better and better every day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
