CrazyJaney 775 Posted March 19, 2014 It gets better! The pain was excruciating for about an hour. Then it settled down but was bad for about a day. The nausea was the worst part for me. Good for you walking so much. I got up every hour to pee but I didn't walk til next day. Each day gets easier! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jeninpink 4 Posted March 19, 2014 Well I had my surgery today. I'm very bummed they couldn't do the sleeve today. There was too much scar tissue, so they only removed my lap band. I will go back in two months to have the revision to sleeve and v the hernia repair. I'm in a fair amount of pain right now, feeling disappointed, I know its best this way. Ill keep you posted. Hope all you who were sleeved today are doing ok. Hugs! Jen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
missdeleon 6 Posted March 19, 2014 Hey I'm March 20th!! I am so freaking nervous lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grammyC 1 Posted March 19, 2014 Well I had my pre-op visit today and I am down 9 lbs. in 2 1/2 weeks and I didn't have to do the liquid pre op diet so I am happy. Told the doctor I was anxious he asked me if I had any doubts I said NO so he said I was anxiously excited! Loved it. Worried what he will be able to do for my huge umbilical hernia but I just love this doctor and have tremendous faith in him. Thursday the 20th is Sleeve Day!

Hope all you who were sleeved today are doing ok. Hugs! Jen I'm sorry. . I guess it's better to be safe than sorry but that won't make you feel better. What a bummer. I did just see someone who had to go back for a revision 6 months out of their sleeve because of scar tissue. This might save you a different complication later. Still, I'm bummed for you!

jeninpink 4 Posted March 19, 2014 I would definitely rather have everything go smoothly. I was just mentally ready. So I'm bummed. Its okay though. Two months isn't so bad I guess. Ill have to do the pre op diet again lol yay jk. I'm going to try & get scheduled for a Friday, so that I won't have too many work issues. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jaime_Boston 44 Posted March 19, 2014 Surgery was yesterday! Great deal of pain first 24 hours. When tried walking I would get nausea really bad. So they upped the nausea meds overnight. The gases aren't passing too well so there will be more walking today. Glad the surgery part is over! Onto healing! Hopefully I'll be home tomorrow. . 1 Stephen T reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
