Cheeselife 68 Posted December 10, 2015 I had mine yesterday, hoping to go home later today. I was very nervous, but there was very little pain. When I was coming out of the anesthesia I felt horrible heartburn pain, but the nurses were wonderful and it was just discomfort after they'd given me pain meds.

Tobeornottobe 89 Posted December 10, 2015 I have had pain from the carbon nioxide. Other than that I feels like I did a million sit ups. I'm walking as much as I can. I too am hoping to head home today. I'm getting ready for the swallow test. Sending you healing vibes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cheeselife 68 Posted December 10, 2015 I was expecting to be told to walk, but I'm still on the IV so I have to stay put. I'm making the most of my pee breaks, but I don't like sitting still at the best of times! Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nickyarnall 3 Posted December 11, 2015 I've just had mine this morning. Now about 8 hours post op, 30mls of Water every 15 min going down well and able to walk, only limitation is availability of a nurse to accompany me. Currently waiting for them to get me 15 ml of the right plain yoghurt. Yes pain is like you have done 10000 sit ups but not too bad 5/10 on VAS initially now a 3/10. I am a fitter than average Bariatric surgery patient, but weighed 165kg plus before pre surgery diet, now 157kg. I'm feeling very positive about the op and hope that everyone else is doing well.

Tobeornottobe 89 Posted December 11, 2015 Nickyamall, it's great your recovery is going so well. Like you, I am very active. My hubster kept telling me I would recover well since I exercise daily and he was right. Not much pain, getting fluids in is not a problem. I so grateful for the recovery.
