Had my sleeve done about eleven hours ago! And all things considered, I feel great. Relieved surgery is over and all went well. I slept off and on most of morning and early afternoon. I am now up to walking about 10 laps around floor. Some abdominal pain/pressure. Had some nausea, but they gave me something for it. Trying to keep moving to relieve gas. Had some ice chips - mouth soooo dry. But I guess the cold bothers my tummy. Limiting ice now. Heating pad helps. I was worried I would be one that wakes up hungry, especially since I was famished this morning before surgery. Happily, no hunger. Since I brought my laptop, I even managed to get some work done.
Hoping the rest of the journey continues as smoothly. Not expecting easy, but this is so much better than the pain I was imagining.
All the best!
