Topic: RE: question on post op to you sleevers
Of course I didn't have Dr. Ellesmere, but just want to add, I didn't have any tubes, just the regular IV. It took 3 days for them to finally hear the gas start to move around in my intestines.
With my tummy tuck surgery I did have two drain packs hanging on my sides but they were coming from the site and wore those for a whole week. Then I had out patient visits for 3 months to keep getting the fluid drained with gigantic needles. My belly was like a waterbed! LOL

Chris, we have Owlss meetings in Lr. Sackville every month too. Wednesday night we had 9 members and I almost popped my staples they had me laughing so hard. It's good to put in the humour on our trials and tribs of this journey!
I know the difference having surgery 20 yrs ago and doing it alone, compared to having these support group meetings is a world of good to keep on the right track. It feels so good to have others know exactly what you're going through.
Angie, don't forget you can also do the 5-day pouch test. I read a lot of sleevers do this test. I did it back last Fall before I got the fistula, and it did help. Whatever diet you do, take time to go slow with chewing/swallowing and listen to your body, watch for signs. Sleevie Wonder will thank you for listening to him! LOL

I remember after my ruptured appendix i woke up with 2 tubes down me throat n the anethesiologoist was held up in another surgery...i had to breathe with that thing for 2 hours while breathin on my own...what an experience... but i guess i was pretty sick back then n needed them. funny how somethings sick with you. patience n mind over matter can get you through no matter what.

It's marked on my calendar!! By then, I should be feeling good enough to handle the long drive. Of course, I'll need directions for which exit to take and find the place.
Can't wait to meet you nsblue!!!
