mav2126 18 Posted June 6, 2018 Hi All- Just got surgery date of June 27th. I have to admit I am nervous about it. I am hoping everything will go OK and I won't be vomiting all over the place. I was at my doctor's office today and met two very nice patients. They both said they had pain free and vomit free experiences. That made me more comfortable and hopeful that I won't have a bad experience. Anyone else out there that has a similar sleeve date as me? Should we count down the days together? 3 lysdexic_girl, allwet and sleevedinschool reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sleevedinschool 44 Posted June 6, 2018 I was sleeved yesterday morning. In the recovery room after surgery, I was in pretty bad pain, but it didn't last long and it got exponentially better from there. Some people have more nausea than others, and I just happen to be one of those people, but it should be easily avoidable if you don't try to walk around and sip Water back-to-back or sip too much at a time. Also make sure to sip any meds they give you and you should be fine. At this point, I'm pain-free! Even if I wasn't taking the hydrocodon prescribed to me, I don't think I would be in that much pain anyway, maybe just some discomfort. Overall, there are times of pain, but you feel 10x better each day after the surgery. Good luck! P.S. bring mouthwash with you to the hospital, it's amazing for right after surgery.
