bulldog1973 88 Posted July 5, 2013 You will do just fine. I got released from florence this AM and am back at the hotel. Just remember to walk, and walk, and walk, and then walk some more. The first 5 hours are the worst, once that is over you will feel so much better. 1 KittyLouSou reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Happy girl 14 Posted July 5, 2013 I had my sleeve on July 1st. Gas pain, nausea have been my biggest problems. I walked 2 hours after surgery which helped more than anything. I've had a rough few days! The Lortab pain medication knocks me out. Then I get behind on my fluids. Then my blood sugars drop & I'm nauseated. Couldn't pee on POD 2. Gave me additional fluids and have been fine since. I cannot tolerate sugar free Jello or Popsicles so basically it has been broth, tea, & Water. I have been hungry! Different than before, but actually more than it was pre-op. feeling very frustrated. Any suggestions welcome! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MumtazG38 86 Posted July 6, 2013 Im July 24 with Dr.Valenzuela at Mi Doctor Hospital.< /p> Heya! July 25th for me! I'll be there at the hospital/hotel on the 24th though! btw, just wondering....which hotel are you going to be staying at? All of you guys are so lucky you're staying at the marriot! Totally unfair lol. I think patients of Dr. Cabrera and Valenzuela are staying at some ghetto one lol. Darn! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
