I had staples also taken out almost two weeks later

I'm trying to figure out too

I've only been sleeved since April 20th, I had it about a week after surgery, so far nothing but its still early ugh lol

I have mirena also I actually had one for about a week

I feel the same way!!! I never was a coke drinker or any sodas but I really want a coke!!!!!! I have random cravings of the day each day its a new thing...

Today makes day 10 I had surgery on the 20th there is one that is bothering me as of today, so I'm going to call tomorrow to make sure they will be removing them Wednesday

I'm ready to get mine out I got my drain out a week later still have staples, Dr appointment Wednesday hopefully then

Did any of you have staples? How long did they stay in?

I had a successful surgery, last Friday and I am feeling great got my drain removed yesterday, I'm moving around fine no pain just having a hard time sleeping. Good luck everyone with recovery!!!

Post op, I ended up staying in the hospital a few days but I'm feeling fine, just trying to get used to.drinking the required amount, other than that I'm fine. Does taking the drain out hurt?

I was at the hospital at 530 this morning, stayed there already prep and finally a little after 10 they told me they had to cancel, machine issues, the new date is Friday

So I was at the hospital all day, and they canceled my surgery because of equipment issues, now its postponed until Friday

Hi!, I get sleeved tomorrow in Shreveport. I'm nervous too. Good luck!

Thank you Stacey, a list is a great idea, I will write one tonight. I have to be to the hospital at 530 in the morning. The nerves have made me so nauseous today

Well Congrats on you upcoming procedure, mine is tomorrow!

Tomorrow is the big day! I got a call from the hospital to be there at 530 in the morning!!!!

My date is April 18th super nervous!!!

Wednesday, April 18th super nervous!!!

My last meal was a T-bone steak and a baked potato... It was wonderful

I appreciate the feedback. I'm glad to know I am not alone especially in my emotions. Today is a positive day. Tomorrow I do my preop test, blood work etc. We will see how that goes.

Well, I've been on an emotional roller coaster since deciding to have surgery. The first time I decided to have surgery was in 2010. I was very uneasy with the doctor so I changed my mind. I found a new doctor and staff I absolutely adore. The emotions I have range from fear to excitement to extreme nervousness etc. I don't know. That is how I found this site. I was looking for people that could understand my emotions. My family doesn't understand. Part of me wants to change my mind right now, the other part of me wants to do this and change my life. My initial decision to have surgery wasn't right. I was doing it for my mother and sister. I just technically wanted to fit in with them. I can't even admit that outloud to anyone. That is the part that makes me want to cry. They are really close, I've always been a daddy's girl but sometimes I wish I could go shopping with them and they wont tell me I'm to big or that makes me look fat. So after overcoming those feelings I had to regroup. I've been having bad dreams because of my nervousness and I have a extreme low tolerance for pain. I'm 25. I have no kids and no serious health problems except that I am obese, that was my decision maker. I wanted to prevent any major health problems and fix my life right now. I've always been bigger and yo yo my weight. I receive criticism because everyone says I'm to young to have this surgery and I need to exercise and stop eating etc... Don't they think I have tried that? Originally when I made my decision the person I am dating did not support me. We actually broke up for a while because they wanted me to change my mind. I knew that was something I could not do. I was tired of pleasing everyone and doing what they wanted me to do. Yet, on the other side I am doing what my mom pushed me to do. I chose my own surgery. I did not want a lap band or to have gastric bypass, I did my research and this was best for me. Did anyone else go through extreme emotions before surgery?

Congrats!!!! This is very uplifting!

I personally feel comfortable telling people, my family on the other hand gets upset with me. They always make the statement, why did you tell anyone.It makes me feel they are embarassed that I took a proactive step in my life to have surgery. My sleeve date is April 18th.
