Home and SLEEVED !!
Hey everyone. I wanted to let you all know that my sleeve gastrectomy went beautifully yesterday. I was sleeved at 11:00 am yesterday and discharged at 11:00 am this morning.
I had very minimal pain and only had to use the pain pump two or three times.
My awesome surgeon, DR. IM, also found a hernia that I did not now I had and he repaired that while he was in there.
I had a few waves of nausea and they gave me meds intravenously for that. I am on clear liquids, 4 oz each hour for 3 days, then on to stage two foods like cream soup for a couple weeks.
The gas pain is no joke... walking and burping and passing gas is the only releif.
The staff at Richmond Kaiser went above and beyond !! I had a private room and round the clock attention and care.
I could not have had a better experience.
