Hi,

I can't answer your question, but I can tell you that I am in Maine in the United States and will be having my surgery on the same day as you.  I know it will be tough at first, but it's tougher to keep living life being limited on what we can do.

GOOD BLESS YOU29 sept    wow iwill pray for you

I had the sleeve on September 11th.  I had a little pain afterwards (I was done laprascopic).  But I did have a pain pump so I could give myself pain medication if I needed it.  I probably only used it about 4 tmes and mostly because they encouraged me to.  I had an ice pack on my belly when I woke up I think that also helped with the pain. They had me out of bed and walking 6 hours after surgery.  I was only given ice chips the rest of the day then the next day I had an upper g.i. to make sure that there were no leaks.  After that I was given water and liquid protein to sip.  You need to be sure and walk walk walk and sip to make sure you pass the gas.  I went home on Saturday 2 days after surgery.  My back hurt worse than the surgery.  I have arthritis and they made me sleep at a 45 degree angle in the hospital.  I feel pretty good and am going back to work on Thursday exactly two weeks after surgery.
Good luck hope this helps.
