Dawnislas 74 Posted September 21, 2016 First 3 days post op was hard. I am 8 days out, back to work and my surgeon told me today I was near perfect in my recovery. You may second guess but this is the best thing I have done and I bet you will feel the same. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
katie09/21/2016 137 Posted September 21, 2016 Thank you for all the supportive messages - I'm feeling the love from the forums right now and I need it! I was sleeved at 8am this morning, and I woke up wishing I could get knocked back out lol nausea was worse than the pain....meds have taken care of both thankfully. I'm just hanging out in my stylish hospital gown trying to rest. For the first couple of hours I was in full on regret mode but as the day goes on I am feeling much better. Thanks everyone Sent from my iPod touch using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Feeling a bit miserable but has a pretty good night (have been walking lots) Sent from my iPod touch using the BariatricPal App So happy to hear you are doing well! They should be able to give you something for nausea, did you pass your leak test yet?

laliza 45 Posted September 22, 2016 Glad to hear you are doing good! Nausea is such a terrible feeling. Ask for the Behring the ear patch, it works in conjunction to ur nausea meds Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KristenLe 5,979 Posted September 22, 2016 @@katie09/21/2016 Definitely ask for something for the nausea (or something different if you are on one already)! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
