monyLiza 40 Posted December 23, 2014 @fuzzyangelbear. It went very well! I only remember getting on the op-table then waking up about two works after being in observation. I feel very well right now for the exception of the air but I'm doing my breath exercises so that's helping a lot. How are you doing??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fuzzyangelbear 15 Posted December 23, 2014 @micampbell24 I was very nauseated in post op but subsided after I got to my room. Have done a few walks and really only ache where the biggest incision is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KMendez325 31 Posted December 24, 2014 2 days post op. Don't remember anything except going to the operating room. Woke up in my room the magic fairies got me there. I think the gas x strips and the biotene spray were critical for after surgery. My mouth was so dry. Ewww. I feel pretty excellent for just having had surgery on Monday. I had a wonderful team of nurses and doctors they made all the difference. Baby steps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MyssJones 84 Posted December 25, 2014 @@fuzzyangelbear I vomited horribly as soon as I got to my room. It hurtled so bad. I felt intense nausea and heaves for the first 7-8 days post op and even vomited twice at home. It's taken a while but I'm finally starting to feel normal again. Guess this procedure just has different after effects for everyone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fuzzyangelbear 15 Posted December 25, 2014 @@MyssJones I am sorry to hear you had a difficult time. Thank heavens I have not vomited. I really thought I was going to in post op as well as when taking the leak test but dodged them both. Now home and going to try and get in all my liquids and Protein, this may be difficult since I am not hungry and really forget about eating or drinking.

KMendez325 31 Posted December 26, 2014 Dec 22nd sleeved. I haven't vomited but sometimes the urge is so powerful, thank god for zofran. I am down 18 pounds with my 2 week pre op diet and surgery on Monday. Don't forget your chap stick or biotene moisturizing spray. So much needed surprised hospital doesn't supply it. Feeling as weak as a kitten but gets better everyday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
