Few hours post-op

[lynziv 32]

So I'm sitting in my hospital bed sipping on chicken broth and wondering if I made the right decision. The pain is pretty bad I can't really walk yet and my throat hurts. I know this is an exciting subject for everyone so if any of you would like to know in detail what have gone through thus far please ask me while it is fresh in my mind

You'll be feeling good in no time! I'm 11 days post op and the first 2 days are uncomfortable. You've got this!

My first couple of days were bad too. My throat and mouth were so dry in the hospital. Drink Water if you can, suck on ice chips or ask for a popsicle. It does get better. I am 2 weeks post op.

Oh it sucks now but it will get better day by day! You just wait! Take it easy

I'm really trying to psych myself up for the negative feelings of the first few days. Even though I know you are feeling bad, you are post-op and I would do almost anything to be in your shoes right now.

Biotene mouth spray is your friend!

The night was OK. I only took pain medication one time. My tummy feels like I did 2000 scrunches without stopping and with stretching before hand. Also I didn't know that with all sleeve surgeries they will put a draining tube. It drains blood and intusions? I'm not sure what that means. When I came out anastasia I was in pain Alot! But then I am given pain medication demeral every 4 hours and Darvocet every 6. It makes drowsy. I have walked about 4 times. I have urinated about 6 times. No Bm yet and no gas, but burping. I don't have much gas pain in the shoulders. I'm glad bc it was really bad with the Lapland. I will go home this morning???? so ready for a shower I feel ????????????????????:-/ I. Will keep u all updated.

I was surprised but I did not have a drain tube. I went home yesterday afternoon, the 31st. Feeling really weak, tired, and sore all over. Wondering what I've done.

Where did you have your surgery?

[Sherry W 23]

Had Surgery at Memorial Hermann South East in Houston, Tx. Did anyone else get the fashionable Wrap-Around Girdle to wear during the day? It seems to hold everything in place.

I guess prepare for the worst, but hope for the best. I was absolutely fine from the moment I work up. Mouth was a little dry but sucking on ice chips was enough to take care of that. No pain, no gas, zero complications, no mood swings or crying jags. I felt great and each day gets better.
