Gastric Sleeve Surgery went Great!

[lisaluvsgreys 48]

I had my surgery yesterday morning, July 1. It took longer than expected because my gallbladder was inflamed. I had my lap band and gallbladder removed, hiatal hernia repaired, and the gastric sleeve.? I feel sore, specially where they've removed my port.

So far so good! My doctor is amazing!

Congrats! I'm glad everything went well for you! Every day will get easier (except maybe day 3; that sucked for me )

Congrats, @@lisaluvsgreys, and welcome to the other side!! Your body's been through a lot; take it easy on yourself.

LOL, @, Day 2 was the worst for me! Everything (slowly) got better after that. I'm 2 weeks out today, and I'm actually starting to feel like myself. Thank goodness!

Thank you everyone! I really appreciate your support! I'm feeling very sore from where they removed my port. It feels so good to have the band out of me!!!

I just did the swallow test, and my sleeve looks great! No leaks! Waiting for clearance from the doctor, so I can drink some water!! I've been gargling and swishing with Water to keep my mouth dry. Cannot wait to chew ice and sip water!!!

See my stomach that small was wild! My doctor used sutures rather than staples.

With my surgery (sleeve+hernia repair) my doc had me start drinking Water 3 hours out of recovery and Protein starting at 7 hours out. Up until day 3, everything went down well but on day 3 I threw everything up and also had the most pain. But it only lasted one day and then it was back to normal. I definitely hope it doesn't happen to you!

[lisaluvsgreys 48]

Yikes!! I just had my first liquids almost 24 hours after my surgery. Clear Liquids for 3 days, Protein Drinks on day 4. I'm going to try to stick with liquids as long as I can.

[lisaluvsgreys 48]

Doing great! A bit tired of liquids! I've heard that so many people have trouble drinking Water. I've had no problem drinking any liquids.

I'm wondering if the is normal.
