Sleeved and feel great!!!!

Hi everyone!
Showed up at hospital at 7:15am today. Wheeled into OR at 9:45am. Done at 11:45am. Pain started out at a 5. After I was hooked up to PCA pump it went done to a 1-2 about 2 hrs later.
I'm still in recovery 7 1/2 hrs later, but no worries. I feel amazing! Been walking several times. Very little gas pain and no incision pain.
They did the leak test during surgery so I was lucky with that. I've been sucking on swabs for a few hours now.
So glad this part is behind me. Thank you to EVERYONE on this site for their help, insight and sleevey-wisdom!!!

MUAH!!!
