Robincantri 5 Posted December 15, 2015 Hi all! It's been about 8 hours since surgery and I'm feeling great. I highly recommend taking advantage of any pain meds they offer in the hospital, because what I assumed was gas pain responded to thwm. I've been up walking and using the restroom and I should be going home tomorrow. Yay! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mo oneal 6 Posted December 15, 2015 Mine is scheduled for Thursday so nervous and scared Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Violet's Mum 5 Posted December 16, 2015 Mine is Thursday as well. Not afraid, but definitely nervous. I am flying down to Tijuana for it. Hubby is coming, too. Feeling sick right now from the laxative (never had one before). Getting used to liquid diet. Fortunately, I have some yummy homemade turkey stock I put in the freezer from Thanksgiving (hee, hee, gave the boxed stuff to the family for the gravy and dressing...they never knew). Best of luck to you mo oneal and anyone else who is getting sleeved on Thursday! We are Sleeve Bro's and Sista's! Check back in to let us all know how you are doing!!! Thinking of you Helen in UK. Hoping you are enjoying food while you can! Have some chicken pad thai for me....I am craving it!!! Hugs to all! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beck Gal 68 Posted December 16, 2015 Well it went! They were 1.5 hours late taking me back. It actually helped me to calm down and take it all in. I hate shots and I was the most upset about getting a blood thinning shot into my belly!! Seeing the operating room was pretty cool. Reminded me of the show my 600pound life. I fell asleep real quick. Coming out of surgery, the nausea and gas pains are real. Take the pain meds and try to rest. They take your vitals like every 2 hours so not an easy task, but yeah. I took a couple walking stints to try to help relieve it, but the meds worked better. I can drink Water pretty easily!! That's what I was most nervous about!! All in all, not too bad. Except for being up at 430am lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
