Thank you. I hope the meds will help with these spasms!

When i walk around i feel like i need to hold my stomach up. I felt pretty good in the hospital but i can barely walk around.

So the heaviness in the stomach is normal? Narcotics make me itch.so all I'm taking is extra strength tylenol.

So my day is finally here, i scared as hell and cant wait for it to be over! Positive energy and thought for a speedy and not so painful recovery Surgery is at 10 and i have to be there at 8.

Well I made ot out! SURGEY WAS.longer.than expected.due to scar tissue from band. The pain is Def tolerable, thought I would be worse

Anyone have only 1 day in the hospital?

Registerd and waiting to be called in :/

Waiting for my ride. I'm a big chicken!

Best of luck!

IS having you period during surgery a problem? Surgery in 3 days and i just got it! Ugh

Having surgery on wed, how bad is the nausea? How long after surgery does it last? Is the nausea due to the smaller stomach or surgery itself?

Also try b-1. When i had deficiencies from the band i felt as you do. Very tired and weak also arms would fall asleep at night. I was thiamine (b-1) deficent for a very long time. its worth a try.

I have 3 days to go till surgery and im still so nervous. I cant believe i have to remove a portion of my stomach in order to be able to lose this weight. Is there anyone who did this that has no problems? Im really hoping all goes smoothly and i dont suffer too much and it will all be so worth it.

Good luck!

Thank you for your post. I'm struggling with the having the sleeve also. I think i can fool myself into thinking I can do this on my own. Good luck to you on your journey to the new you

My Dr says only clear liquids the day before. Stated it. Depends on your weight before surgery.

Tom I work here at Morristown and am so disappointed to hear of your treatment. Why were you in the hospital so long? Fishman is also my Dr. How are you feeling?

Congrats Tiff! My biggest concern is this sleeve being like the band. I was miserable with the band just miserable. How does the sleeve take to protein and veggies? That was such a struggle for me with the band and being that almost everything i ate never made it to my tummy i was always hungry! One minute i think i can do this and the next i'm like NO WAY! Obviously if i keep this date i will have no choice, i fear the unknown And possible rergrets and depression. But when i look out a few months and think about being better adjusted to the lifestyle, that is what excites me.

And if you dont mind who was your surgeon?

How was your experience cody? And how are you doing?

I'm 5'1 and something and i guess your right every little bit counts. I'm hoping to be 5'2 after loosing the weight. My date is 6/20 and im nervous, scared, and excited all at the same time. Hoping i will take on the challenge better than I expect.

Im in north jersey having my surgery on 6/20 in Morristown.

June 20th, so nervous!

I'm so afraid to have this surgery. One day I'm perfectly fine with it and the next I'm totally against it. I see most people on here are doing great, I'm so fixated on the ones who are not. Any words of encouragement? I want to be able to play with my kids and go about my day not constantly aware of my size. I understand this will limit portion size but the fact that you can get only 1/2 oz in at a time? I just can't imagine
