Okay guys, I had my surgery on Tuesday , July 17 th and that night was rough and the following morning. By yesterday afternoon it was great. I also had my hiatal hernia repaired . I love me some SF icicle pops and the sipping of Water and broth is good. They removed the drain yesterday afternoon and that helped my pain tremendously. I cannot say enough about how Dr. Washington and Emily have been towards me, they both are very dedicated to there work and patients, very passionate about us all. They don't make a lot of surgeons that way anymore. The staff at Conway Medical Center have been fantastic. They have treated me so good that I might decide to stay a week..Hahahah, this is better than the Hilton with room service.. Seriouly I am ready to go home but I would not be if they had not helped me start my journey.
So if any of you out there are considering having the surgery and are near Conway, SC or want a fantastic team on your side please consider Dr. Morris Washington. I can only say good things about he and his assistant Emily. :-). I am a very happy girl

July 17th is my day at Conway. Yay! :-)

Hey, just wanted to jump in and say congrats on choosing July to be sleeved. I, personally, think it's an especially great month to do it in. I'm a July vet, having been sleeved two years ago.
Best of luck to all of you in the upcoming months. You'll all do great!

Okay girls and boys my surgery date is July 17th. I am excited and a little scared but I know this is a good thing. I have HBP on medication, high cholesterol and should be on meds, arthritis in both knees and have strong family history of diabetes. Starting weight was 209lbs. I have been on pre op liquid diet since July 1st and now weigh 202 according to my morning weigh on my scales in my birthday suit. Pre op diet has not been hard until tonight when I cheated an had a small bite of Arby's roast beef and licked the horseradish packet.
Would like to have a few July sleevers to keep up with each other and share the good and the bad.
My surgeon is in Conway,SC. Dr. Morris Washington and he is great. I actually am a Registered Nurse and work in the OR with Dr. Washington so I get to see 1st hand what he does in the OR and how he treats his patients. He is very passionate about his work and his patients.

Me too:-)
