8 days since op and I'm recovery well.
Slowly increasing my intake of 'nutritious' liquids, longing to eat something substantial! I feel strange and can't actual believe I've been sleeved. It felt like it was never going to happen but it came and went! I feel very in tune with my digestive system. Although I still desire food I'm highly aware that my body cannot handle it and I'm learning to respect my sleeve in order to maximise my weight loss potential.
First few days
I felt like hell and the pain was intense (I think I ignored peoples feeds on pain!)
Managing well now, just taking pain relief in the morning and evenings. Only now able to cope with coughing and sneezing!
Hospital
Fabulous care. Stayed 2 days in Lewisham HDU, which was fabulous. One to one nurse and own suite, I would have been happy to stay the week.
