I've been sleeved!

I got my sleeve done yesterday. I don't remember a whole lot. I remember getting to the hospital so excited I couldn't stop smiling. I went to pre-op they started 2 ivs and checked my vitals and went over my medications. Then they let my family come sit with me until it was time to go down. Once I got down to the holding area they have me several different meds to help acid in the stomach and nausea. The dr came to talk to me and that's when I started almost having an anxiety attack. I became nervous scared. I was really hoping they were gonna take me soon because I was afraid to have a break down. I just took a few deep breaths and shortly after that we were off to surgery. I fell right asleep once we were in there. After surgery I wasn't in pain just kinda felt uncomfortable. They had me up about 4 hours after my surgery to walk. I walked 3 times total yesterday and got some ice chips. Today I went down to have the swallow test. Donnie I'm waiting to see the dietitian so I can start with the phase 1 diet. Looking forward to the rest of this journey. Thank you all for the support along the way!!
