Well I am sleeved

After my surgery date was cancelled in March we, set a new one for Monday April 28 at 6:30. I am now five days out and wondering what did I do to myself. (like everyone else says on here) I have five holes that are glued and I am soooo sore. They had a hard time finding any meds for my nausea, nothing worked for me. So I couldn't take any pain meds because I would vomit. I would press the pump for pain meds then start vomiting. Bad few days. What is the best thing for the gas feeling, I feel like my stomach is going to blow up!!! I am using a heating pad, and trying to walk, any other sugestions? The only great thing I can say is I am sleeved. Thank Goodness.

you will feel better; it just takes a week or two.  For the gas, just walk and the walking helps the gas works its way out.  I know it will be hard, but walk and stay upright because your strength comes back quicker.  Congratulations on getting sleeved.

I am sorry to hear you are feeling bad.  Who did your surgery?

I used Dr William McAlexander in Jonesboro, he has been great, my problem was with the night nursing staff, I called three times before a nurse came to help me. I was vomiting and dry heaving(?) After she came, and I told her to call my Doctor, she started getting her orders for meds to stop the vomiting. (we tried three kinds of pain meds and three for vomiting) I think that was the worst pain ever, and knew it wasn't good for my new small tummy. I am still real sore today, and for some reson I want to cry easy today. I am ready to get through this...part. I am down 10 lbs !!!

I took simethicone drops (mylicone drops they give infants) f*******mediately post-op.  I had to take a butt load of drops (they ARE for infants after all), but it worked.   Good luck. 

Hey honey... Im looking forward to u getting all well....so we can get together! so glad the worst is over for ya..  ur gonna love ur Sleeve in about a month....thats about how long it took me I think.. after I felt good again.. big hugs
