fit4life123 108 Posted January 17, 2015 I've officially been sleeved!!! My surgeon said everything went beautifully! I was not expecting the gas pain though! They also won't let me take any gas x. The nausea was unreal! I felt a little regret because of the pain but after some pain meds and nausea meds I felt good. I was still pretty drugged up when I kept repeating, "What did I do to myself?" Lol The first night was the hardest and I definitely feel way better today! I can't wait to start getting fit. It felt so unreal to actually go through with everything and I feel so lucky my process only took a month and a few days rather than months or years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kimmeesue 41 Posted January 17, 2015 Congratulations! I am 3 weeks out, had my surgery New Years Eve. The surgery was uneventful but post op a nightmare. They only used a short acting drugs for the surgery and I blew a vein on the way to my room and they could not find a new ones for 2 hours, so no pain meds. Believe me, I was wondering what I had done to myself. That made getting on top of the pain and nausia a lot harder and I had to stay an extra day. Then discovered one of the anti nausea drugs causes anxiety. So here I am, trying to think about going home and having a full blown panic attack. The amazing nurse got benadryl, hit my IV and 15 minutes later I was dressed and ready to go. After all of that nothing could be a problem. Lol. I saw my doctor at 1 week and had lost 15 pounds. Next day had my hair done, which is a three hour process, then 2 days later took my dogs to be groomed and went shopping( no clothes yet just household stuff). But all three of these trips require an hours drive round trip. I cannot believe I had the energy and stamina that soon after surgery. I am trying to get in a very small workout on my elliptical machine every other day. Exercise is my downfall because I have serious back problems. As everyone on here says, we are all different and our stories are different but finding this site has been a godsend for me because I live in a rural area with no support groups nearby. I hope you continue feeling so well. Good luck and enjoy the journey! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mzknight3 2 Posted January 17, 2015 I glad you gave so much energy. Every time I drink something I have to burp afterwards. Did you have that problem and I had a hernia repair as well? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fit4life123 108 Posted February 1, 2015 I glad you gave so much energy. Every time I drink something I have to burp afterwards. Did you have that problem and I had a hernia repair as well? I was constantly reminded to sip everything when they did give me something but no I didn't have any burping until I was given puree foods. I had to relearn how to eat until chewing slower became second nature. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
