Good luck, please keep us posted. My journey starts Dec 7. I'm sure that everyone is waiting for their surgery and would love to read your update after your surgery. We are all here to support each other. You got this!

I was sleeved on 11/9. My surgery and hospital stay went well. My first couple of days at home, however, were less than comfortable! The main thing was I was afraid of my sleeve (lots of gurgling, pressure and odd pains when I ate or drank "anything"). I feared vomiting because I've heard how awful that can be, so I was super tentative about eating and drinking. On top of that my system doesn't like hydrocodone, so I was on no pain meds except for an occasional Tylenol. THE GOOD NEWS!? I woke up today (4 days post op) feeling quite a bit like myself again! The pain has subsided for the most part and once I began including more warm full liquids, my sleeve stopped being so scary. Everyone is different, so my advice would be to have a variety of things on hand to try at home and try them at different temperatures if need be. If one thing doesn't work, move on and try something else until you find what works (don't wait!). Also, get to know your new physiology and don't fear it (I feel like I'm getting better acquainted everyday with how my body now functions). Lastly, remember when you're feeling bad it's only temporary and we're only at the beginning of this journey. Good Luck!
