Sleeved and home!

Well I am sleeved and home. My one night in the hospital was uneventful. I wasn't resting very well so they let me come home a day early. I am not really in pain.

I do need to get used to the bubbles everytime I take a drink. I sleep in the up-right position to avoid any gas pains. I also have a low grade 99.5 degree fever. My discharge paperwork said it was only a problem over 100 degress, so I will keep an eye on it.

Overall I am thrilled to finally be on the losers Bench. It seems like it took forever.

I hope you feel better soon, please let me know how you do since I am new and very confused. I want to do the surgery too but thinking about it.
I hope you recover very soon.

Congrats to you!!! I can't WAIT to be able to post what you just posted :)

Good luck with the rest and the bubbles. From what I've read, just walk as much as you can, and sip, sip sip as much as you can.

How long did you take off of work?

Hope the rest of your journey is as smooth as mine has been. My pain was gone in two days and it was mostly gassy too. 27 days out and feel great. Let me know if I can help.

Congrats on your surgery!
Don't worry about a low-grade fever.. I had one for the first 8 to 10 days. Surgeon said sometimes when your body goes through that much trauma, it happens to help heal. I had to go to ER if it went over 102, but highest temp was 99.8.

Glad you are not having pain issues. Keep on top of it though, and take your pain meds before the pain comes on strong!

All the best -- and congrats!!
