May 28-31st Sleeve Week!

[WhoKnows 288]

I have discovered that drinking with a spoon creates by far the least discomfort. Just something to try if anyone is having trouble!

Is anyone having trouble with their eye sight ? Even with my reading glasses on, everything is way blurry

[Monte0828 46]

Yes blurry vision from time to time. Chalking it up to pain meds and needing rest. After rest vision is fine. Plus experiencing less of it since not needing pain meds as much.

Hey ladies, I was sleeved on the 27th as well and couldn't see a darn thing! The day after I got home I called the office because I was a little freaked out. The nurse asked me if I still had my nausea patch on that the hospital put on before surgery and I told her yes. She told me to remove it and see if things get better. So I took it off and it has slowly improved.

I was sleeved on May 27th. Everyone in the hospital was fantastic. I stayed in the hospital for 2 days. But those two days...wow. The gas pains caused me nausea and pain. That was the worst part. All my pain stayed in my belly region. It is now day 3 postop and I still feel the gas moving around but at least it does not cause nausea or pain. I too have blurred vision and chalked it up to the medicines in the hospital or anesthesia. I brought a book to read and only read a few pages as it was too difficult to focus. I have 5 bandages on my abdomen. No drains and no Foley catheter was ever inserted. I am sip-sip sipping my Protein Drinks now. Hard to get it all in.

Wow. That's crazy. The dr actually called me on the way home to remove mine. That must be it.

Not to be graphic or tmi... Has anyone had any bm issues? I've gone quite a few times, obviously very loose.. :-/ I usually hear stories that people don't go for days on end...

[Monte0828 46]

Was told it could be days. Also told if you do go and it's loose it can be from sugar intake thru drinking or eating if your at that stage.

[lylabelle 257]

Good evening all! Im feelin great. Could be the good drugs. Haven had gas pain at al! I wont complain it sounds like some of you guys have had a rough go!! The doc just came in to check on me he said no surprises so thats grest. I should probably get up and walk more.

Good luck to the 31!! we have just 1 think. tthen we are all sleeved!!!!

[Sh3iz 36]

I'm on full liquid. Any and everything I've consumed has been within guidelines. I don't have any pain or stomach issues... It's not "explosive" I did have one bm at the hospital similar and I let them no and they didn't seem to think anything of it? I guess if it keeps up or gets worse I will call the surgeon.

[sandDuneHill 19]

Home sweet home. But lots of pain when trying to drink. Tired. Hope I can stay hydrated. Hope everyone is doing well.

[swedishfish1020 59]

I hope everyone is recovering well. Can't Sunday to be on full liquids. Are any of you having a stiff neck?
