    Thumbs up I'm New!

    Hello, I'm new to the site and wanted to share my sleeve day experience. The pre-op shakes did not treat me very well so I paired them with veggies and sugar free jello. I lost about 15lb on the 10 day diet and had my surgery on May 7th. I experienced a lot of pain with the trapped gas, walking around helped to break that up. The next day May 8th, I experienced a lot of nausea, not so much vomiting but dry heaving and spitting up. I know it sounds gross but I was just wondering if anyone else had those symptoms on the 2nd day? Today they let me come home, everything looked great and the nausea went away, no more dry heaves...I thought for sure that would happen every time I eat. Now I am home, and trying to get comfortable. I'm wondering if it is okay to lay on my stomach, I am a stomach sleeper. Make sure you get up and walk around, it helps with circulation and do the breathing exercises, it helps to prevent trouble breathing in the future. Only one day on full liquids and I'm looking forward to the next step and onward. Thanks for providing a forum, already finding interesting info!!!

    I'm a stomach sleeper too. I hope someone response because I never thought about not being able to sleep on my stomach. I wish you a speedy recovery.

    I am 14 days post-op and I still can not seep on my stomach. I hope your experience is different.
