Elle09 157 Posted May 1, 2016 Well I am sleeved! The surgery went well. I had major issues with nausea. The meds at first were not giving me relief, but they ended up putting a patch on and that made a difference. The pain is pretty tolerable so no real issues in fact I did not come home with the pump. Really only one incision is sore. The other ones I hardly even feel. I am finding out my heating pad is very comforting and soothing. After surgery getting up walking really helps to wake your system and get the gas moving. I also found that someone running my back ( like a baby) helped with the gas. Overall I am doing fine.
