3 Days Post-Op

Jun 01, 2010

I am sleeved!!!  Today is the first day that I can say I am feeling a lot better.  Yesterday I was discharged from the hospital and probably would have been fine if it wasn't a 12 hour car ride home.  But we made it safe and sound and I am feeling much better today.  I have not had any nausea, but I know they were giving me anti-nausea meds in the hospital.  The gas pains were tough but are mostly gone now.  I am now dealing with a persistent headache that the dr says is probably due to lack of carbs, so he said to drink more juice and that seems to be helping.  I do have to say that I never thought apple juice would taste so good as it did this morning! 

Dr. Alvarez and his team were all amazing.  I had a very good experience and everything has gone exactly as planned.  I did have my gallbladder taken out at the same time, so I have an extra incision or two, but my recovery has not been any more difficult than my mom's who was sleeved by Dr. Alvarez the same day.  I am so glad to have taken this step in my life and I am ready to transform myself in to a much healthier person!
