I take it back gas pains just started. They just gave me more meds to help with pain.

I'm Oct 11th also in Pontiac MI... I had an 8 day preop diet.

Surgery isn't till 2 PM and i'm not supposed to eat or drink after midnight... think that it's going to be rough.

I'm nervous and excited.

Me too. I had to stop drinking my shakes at 4 PM today and am freaking myself out over not being able to have the Protein shakes. Too funny. Healthy surgery to you and I will check in when I'm awake.

How are all the October 11th sleevers doing?

Here is my checkin...

My surgery was at 7 am Friday and I was discharged Saturday at 11 am.

I overall feel great, liquids going down good. I have 5 incisions (only the one that my tummy was pulled through hurts). My doctor isn't concerned with me getting my Protein in first week, only supposed to focus on getting enough liquids. I didn't have a drain or a catheter.

I am feeling a bit restless, trying to walk around lots. I could probably go back to work in a few days.

I was sleeved on the 11th. Stayed in the hospital 2 nights, it was part of the package. I feel really well and pain is minimal and only present when getting up, etc. I hope all the 11th sleevers are doing as well.

I was sleeved on Friday at 2:00pm. The first day wasn't bad. I was really sore about 24-36 hrs after surgery. Just kept making myself move. Never really had much gas pain.

Went home yesterday. Pain isn't bad. Any sip of anything causes a series of grumbles.

Was really surprised by the fact that a sip is filling my entire stomach.

Hello sleevers, I was the few who became very sick and nauseous for four days. Rough period but today I feel like a new person. I'm like you and the only place that hurts is where my stomach came through - hasta la vista tummy! I still have some of the gas from surgery but I'm walking it out. I'm so happy I did it!
