    April 2013 Post-Op Group

    I had laparoscopic. One of my incisions is a little red but I don't have a fever.

    April 2013 Post-Op Group

    Surgery was about 2 1/2 weeks ago(4/8), my abdomen is very tender to the touch. It was feeling great and starting yesterday it's been very tender. I have been lifting a little more the past couple days since I'm now by myself to care for my kids. Not sure if this is normal or something I should worry about. Anyone else feeling tender/sore still?

    Sleeping Issues

    I'm having the same problem!! I too am a stomach sleeper and even with all my pillows I can't get comfortable enough to sleep through the night. Since I stopped taking pain pills I can't sleep!! I keep trying but I'm still too sore! Hope it's not much longer!!

    April Dates

    I can't believe the day has finally come. I have never felt so much emotion as I have through this process. It's crazy how you can be so excited yet so scared all for the same reason!! I'm grateful for all the support I have received from my husband and others but still feel some sort of way that my father is not on board with this. I can't get it out of my mind. My husband and mother will be with me at the hospital while my aunt takes care of my 2 & 3 year old. I'm only in overnight as long as there are no complications. I'm so ready for this life change! I'm ready to be the mom I want to be! I know I don't write often but I do read everything and I'm so very thankful for all the information I get! I wish everyone else tomorrow good luck!! See you all on the losers bench my friends!!
  6. I wasn't put on any meds but was put on a liquid diet to help with losing weight so I could get on the schedule. I had to quit smoking and it was horrible!! I gained atleast 20lbs. I had to lose that plus half of the 5% the surgeon wanted me to lose before I could be scheduled. I went for a weight check today and to my surprise I made it! I am now scheduled for April 8th!! I know what your going through, hang in there!! Hoping you get a date soon!!

    Sleeve or Bypass

    I am scheduled for a scope by the surgeon on jan 30. I was so set on the sleeve until met with him, I will see how the scope goes.
  9. Met with the surgeon for the first time on December, 27... He wants me to get the gastric bypass instead if the sleeve. I did me research, read a lot on here, my mom(& 2 uncles) had gastric bypass 10 years ago, and a friend at work was sleeved 5 months ago so I know a lot about both. I just can't seem to be able to get over the re routing of the intestines part. I have bad acid reflux/ heartburn and that was one of the doctors reasons for wanting to do the bypass instead. He did say it was my choice and he would do either but now I'm torn and don't know which to do???

    Any Pennsylvania Sleevers?

    I just started the process with St. Luke's after finding out my insurance required I go to a center of excellence. With my work schedule and kids it was easy to do the online seminar to get the intake started. Now I wait for a phone to schedule my first appointment! How long did it take before you got a date?
