Amy Carter 67 Posted December 16, 2014 Hope your surgery is on time grandma 2 tweeties. Mine was delayed a hour and a half. sleep is good right after surgery and when they get you up to sit in the chair will help get the gas up. Warm drinks help when allowed to.

AJP1243 46 Posted December 16, 2014 Made it to the other side. The gas pain was so bad felt like so.eone was sitting on my chest. But other than really bad nausea my stomach is fine. I am sleeping alot. Walked 2 laps so far. How long does the nausea last anyone know? It's the only thing holding me back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

get2chris 28 Posted December 16, 2014 Well I have crossed over to the sleeved size. Went to surgery at 9:30 and was in my room by 1:00. Worst part was waking up with nausea. I told them ahead of time and got the the nausea meds but it didn't work. Sigh, glad that's over. Got discharged at 3:30 today and I'm home. Nothing to eat for the past two days but I'm not hungry. Just going to take it easy and start on the Protein Drinks tomorrow. Wish I would have thought to take medicines! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Benji27 17 Posted December 17, 2014 Hi Chris same at home and walking. It's really hard having a one year old who's clinging. Thank goodness for grandparents who are helping out. When I saw my little man I broke down in tears because this one reason for me to go through the gastric sleeve procedure. I m taking the meds buts difficult to swallow having to time it right cause it can be painful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
happychic80 58 Posted December 17, 2014 Just wanted to give a quick update. Surgery was over and was back in my room at lunchtime. Had very minimal gas or pain all day long. Was discharged and home at 8pm. Once I was home my belly started feeling a little sore and gas hit. Nothing I can't handle though. Good luck to those who are getting sleeved today!!!
