Well I did it, I had my surgery and I survived. I am home now and still trying to figure things out. I have so many medications to take and I am trying to figure out what I need and don't need. I am still having gas pains so I am taking Gas-X for that. I can't wait for all the gas to disappear. I am much more lumpy then I was when I went into the hospital and I weighed more when I got out. I know it is because of all the gas. I am not in a lot of pain however, they had to cut through one of my ab muscles and that hurts the most!!! I have only taken Tylenol for pain and I am fine with that.  I think I picked up a cold at the hospital too because now I am sneezing and have a runny nose. You really take for granted how much your stomach is being used to simple things like sneezing. I can at least sleep on my left side but I have to use a perfectly placed pillow  but hey it works. I have been sipping my water and drinking my protein shakes. Thankfully I have been lucky that I can tolerate it well. Right now I just feel like I have a stomach bug without the vomiting if that makes sense. My tummy feels upset and empty how long did this last for you guys?

Congrats on being sleeved and welcome to the losers bench!!     Are you on an acid blocker like a PPI?   It could be acid upsetting your tummy.
