I've been sleeved!!!
Hello folks,
Just had my sleeve done last Tuesday and everything went really well - no complications whatsoever. But if anyone tries to tell you that the effects of general anesthesia wear of within hours, tell them they are nuts. I'm just now getting back to my regular sleeping routine. The day of surgery I slept pretty well all day off and on and since then I've been napping off and on each day - and that is with no pain meds. I just take them at night.
I can't say enough about how positive my experience with the VG hospital was. The nurses in the step down unit (I have sleep apnea so I had to go there for a day after my procedure) are truly "Angels Among Us" - two plaques were on the wall attesting to the fact that substantial donations had been made to the hospital as a token of thanks for their excellent care to patients.
I have to keep reminding myself to drink slowly or I get nausea. It just took me half an hour to eat a bowl of soup. So far, I love my sleeve!!!
