    Default Back home-Officially sleeved

    Hi everyone. I had my procedure on 2/23. Came home yesterday. still in quite a bit of pain. Only on right side where they pull your stomach back through, and were they had the drain. Sleepy all the time. Trying to get in fluids. So glad to be home. I know things will get better. I keep telling myself "This too shall pass", and things will get better. I will check back in tomorrow. Just want to go back to sleep.

    Thank you to everyone. B & K's Mamama. I think the gurgling is just gas moving around. At least that is what I am attributing to. Yesterday, I had bad pains in my stomach, I thougt that it probably it was gas on my belly. I've not had a bowel movement since the surgery. I've really not at enough to produce a bowel movement. I took a stool softner so don't run into problems down the road. I'm having a lot of right sided pain, where the drainage tube was while I was in the hospital, and also the biggest incision. No pain on the left where the other smaller incision are. Not been up a great deal. Just walk around the house. I got my bath since being home, and that undertaking just wore me out.
    Does, or did anyone have this raw pain, where the largest incicion is?? I put ice on it last nigt. Helped a little.

    The pain will lessen each day until one day you won't notice it anymore. Of course, I never had a drain; or if I did, they took it out before they woke me up. The noisy tummy is now a fact of life, it seems. Mine talks to me every time I eat. Get your fluids, get your clear liquid protein, and walk as much you can this week. And don't worry about constipation the first few days after surgery either. A - you haven't been eating anything, and B - your body is in shock. Don't sweat it...those liquids will come out as liquids very soon, for about a whole week in fact, and you will be wishing you were just a little bit constipated!

    My pain in minimal. I am not hardly taking any pain meds, mainly bc I don't feel I need them and bc I wasn't aware no pills the frat week and I absolutely HATE LIQUID MEDICINE!!!! I only have inner muscle pain like I've just done 1000 crunches and am very tight. But I also had my gallbladder removed and a hernia repaired and they said it had to be pulled tight behind my belly button. I'm sipping alot and was awake all day today (mostly) and am tired now. But I didn't have any remorse about the sleeve! So that's good. I also at 1/4 cup of mashed potatoes today too. I have tolerated everything I have put in my mouth. Also started with some...err... Well... Runny diarhea this am. But that could be the dumping ppl experience with having gallbladder removed. Well that's my update for now. ;-) my sweet wonderful husband is taking very good care of me and my 1 and 3 year olds very good. I'm ready to be back to normal so I can help again around the house. Thanks for all of your support.
