AGREED! I find that to be very true. I could not tell if my stomach was growling or if it was after surgery stuff. After a few sips of water, whatever that was went away.

I didn't really have gas pain either, but I did experience difficulty waking up. In fact I am now four days post-op and I can still feel the side effects of the anesthesia. I have dry mouth, nausea, itching, random dizziness, and blurry vision. I hope it clears up pretty soon. What I don't have is hunger to any extent. I smell food and don't have a desire to eat anything, obviously that may change in time. I am able to drink two Protein shakes a day, followed by Water throughout the day. I have been walking, as long as the weather permits. It is amazing how much better I felt the day after surgery.

Hello! My surgery went very well. Discomfort on the 9th was really high, but on the 10th I felt so much better. Minimal pain meds so far!

Me too! Super excited! Good luck to all!

All of the Sept 9th sleeves....good luck and a speedy recovery! I am 100% ready and committed.

Just a few more days!! Super excited!

Just a few more days 'til my surgery...is it normal not to be stressing? I am at peace with this decision and feel completely ready. I have no concerns or reservations. Was anyone else like this? -angie

You are so lucky to be going to Banner. I live in Scottsdale and my insurance requires me to go to St. Lukes. I really don't care for it.

My pre-op is strictly limited to protein shakes and water. It's tough! I drink Premier Protein which I don't mind the taste of. Angie

I am having the sleeve procedure on Sept 9th and I have to say I am super excited. While I am aware that complications can happen, I am not the slightest bit nervous. I am ready. Is anyone else experiencing the same feelings? Maybe I will be Newhouse when I check in... Thanks Angie

Hi all! I am Sept 9th as well. I am so ready! Good luck to all. Angie

No Worries! Thank you for the sentiment though...trust me, if it was head hunger I wouldn't mind so much. I can usually occupy myself with a diversion. But when my full size, healthy stomach growls in the middle of a meeting it's so embarrassing. I think I am going to try eating something small about every three hours. Have a fantastic day!
