  1. I'm hungry on clear liquids. I'm on them until my first post op visit (tomorrow) but I did test drive cream of rice with unflavored protein, yummy it killed the hungry beast lol. I hope to be cleared to stay on full liquids.
  2. The materials provided to me from my doctors office and the research I did showed it is rather common to remove the gallbladder.
  3. I had mine done at temple university on July 22. They were great!
  4. I'm in East Falls within Philadelphia.
  5. I'm in Philly too, sleeved July 22.
  6. Happy Sleeve Day to all those getting sleeved today!
  7. What's your blood pressure looking like as well as your A1C? They look at all of those. For me my blood pressure, A1C, weight (up and down), then sleep apnea and I had a thyroid issue all worked in my favor for the approval process. The sleep apnea sealed the deal with atena. BMI may play a factor not sure how much, but a history of it going up and down could work in that it shows you have been trying but have not been successful with maintaining a lower weight.
  8. So happy you are doing well and the pain is minimal and can be managed.
  9. Oh wow, have you taken anything? Had one Thursday and everyday since.
  10. I'm with you there, the morphine was a beast!
  11. I had my surgery Monday (7/22), all went well. Some do experience different affects from med, gas etc. Don't panic this surgery is not a one size fits all.
