Home and Sleeved!!

I must say, it was more painful than I anticipated, but at 2 days out I am feeling much better and would do it again in a hearbeat. I know you can't have major surgery and expect no pain at all.  My stomach isn't hurting, but the drain site is really uncomfortable. I am still trying to get the "sip" down. I did have lots of nausea and some "vomiting" which was really mainly saliva since I hadn't had anything by mouth since Wednesday evening. I passed the leak test, and I must say the stuff they gave me to drink is the worst tasting stuff I have EVER had in my mouth. It was terrible! But no leak, so I can't complain!  I am looking forward to seeing results now! I will update as I feel better. I just walked in the door:)

Glad things went well for you even though you had pain (I did too).  Rest, sip, walk and repeat!

Good for you! Glad things worked out so good!

Congrats on your new sleeve!  Walking and sipping are your 2 big jobs this week.  I hated my drain too.  I think the drain caused most of my pain.  As soon as it came out, I felt so much better.  Good luck!

hey just wanted to mention when i had my sleeve done on jan,30 one thing i had forgot about was if you cant handle cold drinks like i couldnt warm them  up they go down much much easier and it doesnt hurt congrads on your sleeve and a speedy recovery.

@Dawn-thanks for the tip! The only thing I really notice is my tummy "talking" to me when I sip anything:) I am still trying to drink enough. I feel like I am constantly sipping to get enough and I know I didn't come close yesterday. Congrats on your sleeve as well. I can't wait for all the usual things that come with being a normal bmi

Thanks everyone else for the support as well:) I look forward to seeing what 2012 has to bring!!

 Wishing you a speedy recovery!

 Glad everything went well, keep us posted!  Happy Healing!
