Missytee 138 Posted October 13, 2017 Hello everyone, I was sleeved on Wednesday. Since I’m self Pay I only stayed one night . I woke up in a lot of pain.i just took my meds and trying to stay hydrated. I’m waiting for my nurse to come to my house to deliver my meds for my IV. I been taking gas x strips, which really helps me with the gas pain. I’m trying to stay positive. Also, I have little to no support. 1 njgal reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bhageerah 161 Posted October 13, 2017 As has already been said, walk and sip, you will be ok, I was only in the hospital for 9 hours and then I was on my way home. And I understand the pain that you are in, it will get better! If it gets too out of hand call your Dr office and see what they say. It will be painful for a few days but you can do it! Sorry to hear about the lack of support but you have quite a bit of support here! You are now officially part of the "family" and we take care of our own!!! 2 Nena1204 and njgal reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KarenOR 180 Posted October 13, 2017 First couple days are the worst because of the gas. Where does it hurt?I actually had horrible pain around my right rib and ended up going back to doctor. Turns out the rib was bruised when he took off the expander. So, don't hesitate to ask if it doesn't get better. Heat helps too. Heating pad or microwave pack. Hang in there!

Lovergurl 59 Posted October 13, 2017 Hang in there, it does get better quickly. Try and walk. Laying in bed all the time isn't good for you. Walk around your house, then rest, then walk again. And sip on Water or vit min water. Just little sips. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
