​Hi everyone! Thank you for the we'll wishes! I was sleeved as of 10am today. I am on dilaudit, and taking advantages of every bit. I have been in and out today. Extremely tired and somewhat dizzy. I couldn't walk much the first time due to being dizzy. The walk itself was not painful at all. The staff here is AMAZING! I will try to keep everyone posted. I do know one thing, it's freakin HOT in my room. Thank goodness it's a private room. I am dying for Water....I have to wait until my leak test tomorrow . Off to sleep again, I can feel my eyes rolling!

Congrats! I had my surgery on 12/30. The next 4 days will likely suck. Alot! Just hang in there. Each day has gotten exponentially better. I've been back at work all week and life is almost back to normal. Well. Not normal since I've only had liquids for 11 days

Thanks for letting me know about that. I was wondering how long this would suck! Lol

Congrats on having the sleeve. I had mine done on 12/9/13 and it was amazing. I had minimal pain & didn't need any medication once I was sent home.

Ask your nurse can u have ice chips. That's all they allowed me 2 have my first night. You will get full very quickly, but just take your time when u start to drink. And the gas will be very annoying in the beginning but it goes away. :-)

I asked for ice chips and they said no, for the first night. Not until I have my leak test today. Oh why fun !!

Congrats I had mine on the 21st. I was so sleepy the first day my eyes were literally just shutting around 3:30am I felt more awake so I was walking for like 10min then back to bed. The second day was constant nausea for me minimum pain, I made sure I pressed the pain pump and no vomiting at least. Ice chips help a lot and sf Popsicles I hope you get your test done soon so you could have some. Good luck!

Hi. The same with me. Yesterday I was so tired and nauseous. Today I feel a little better but this pain under my ribs is crazy. I have to walk before I take the dilaudit because it makes me tired and dizzy.

I had mine on 12/11 and my first few days were rough but I made it through and you will too. Congratultions on your surgery and I hope every day it gets a little better. I was lucky to have ice chips before my leak test. I also had the sponge-things to moisten my mouth. I got up, peed, walked, peed went back to bed, woke up, peed, walked, peed and went back to bed......... the first couple of days. I pushed myself to walk as much as possible to help with the gas pain--in the shoulders UGH. Hurt like a Mother-you-know-what. I've been back to work since 12/30 and so far so good.

I had my sleeve done on Monday, and things r moving a long just fine, congrats to all

The one thing I was unprepared for (though I'd heard about it) was the gas. It was pretty bad and interfered with my being able to drink things. Gas-X strips helped and, after a week, it is a whole lot better.

I went to the Doc yesterday and he was pleased I was getting down about 3/4 of my required Protein at that point.

How much pain do you have? On a scale from 1-10 I am a 3, that's because if this same gas bubble on my left side under my ribs. It SUCKS!
