First sleeved update.

Nov 20, 2011

Well on Wednesday I was sleeved!

I got to the hospital around 6am and signed in, waited maybe about 10 minutes in the surgery lobby then was already called in the back for surgery prep. Man was I nervous, I think it really hit me when I was laying on the stretcher in the pre-op area and having IV's put in me that "Wow I'm actually going through with this" My surgeon came in and assured me that everything would be okay, and afterward he would go talk to my family and tell them how everything went. I don't really remember much around the time I woke up, I remember waking up back in the pre-op room and nurses asking me how I felt and I said "I feel nauseous, I feel like I'm going to puke" ugh that medicine sucked, I just couldn't handle it! Next thing I remember is going into my room and my Mom, sister and step dad coming in. I was feeling pretty tired, but I was in no pain at all, I took some pictures and when my sister sends them I'll post them, I remember she was laughing because she said I look high as hell lmao..

The hospital was good, I had some awesome nurses that were great and joked around with me, which made me feel better :) The other staff were nice too.

Ive been having bad gas, Ive been walking allot, it seems to help a little but not as much as I thought it would, Ive also been getting this pressure in my chest every now and then, I think Ive felt hunger today, I'm not sure if its reflux or what? My doctor gave me some Omeprazole for reflux, but Ive only take it once in the morning. It may be that I'm not taking small enough sips or too fast? I see my surgeon on Tuesday so I'll have to ask him about that. I'm having a hard too getting my fluids in, but trying my best. Ive just been taking my pain meds at night before bed and still having a little discomfort, but besides that I think I'm feeling pretty good.

Sorry for not going into allot more detail, getting a little tired and going to upload a few pictures from my phone.

Thanks for the prayers, well wishes and thoughts, it means allot to me
