Does anyone feel any pain or discomfort in the larger incision ?I'm 74 days out sleeve dec 6 (best decision I ever made) but sometimes I feel lil pain there still...getting worried sometimes about it. Should I be???

Ok,thank you

No I'm not on any meds.at all.

I'm at work and I feel kind of off. I bent over to help someone and felt dizzy while I was down there. I drank my Protein Shake this morning and I don't know why I'm feeling off like this. By the way I was sleeved dec,6 2012. Any advice r suggestions I would surely love from any sleevers.

Happy Thanksgiving Decembersleevers my date is the 6th of Dec too. I wonder why some doctors have us do days and some weeks of preop diets. I'm going to ask my Doc, but this is for everyone we ate good today but tomorrow lets get back on the grind and accomplish what we need to to get on the losers bench. Prayers go out to all of us on this journey,talk to you soon

Typos. Sorry. ANY OF YOU have an idea of what will happen??

Probably it consist of a EKG,Labs and a X-ray

My date is Dec 3rd. I'm so afraid and excited. I wish I could just get this over with. I'm mostly afraid of the pain after the surgery which is crazy because I had twins with no epideral. I'm also worried of extra skin' date=' I have about 100lbs to loose. Then again I'm so excited that I can work out and play with my kids without being out of breath. I feel like I'm going to chicken out sometimes. I feel overwhelmed sometimes. I'm glad I'm not the only one feeling this way.[/quote']

Good luck to you..we both will do fine..good luck and let me know how it goes

I'm Dec 6 I'm going through all kind of emotions scared straight, afraid, excited and happy all at the same time this is crazy I can't wait till this is behind me and I'll be on the losers bench

I already had an EKG' date=' so I had to do a blood test (they just drew a vial of blood) and an X-Ray[/quote']

Oh ok that sounds easy enough lol

Yesterday was my last meeting with my surgeon (Dr. Robert Li' date=' head of bariatrics, yippee!). I also had the last of my tests and the pre-op class. Lots of info, the best news being that Kaiser will pay for a hotel for us for the night before the surgery!

This will be so much better than having to drive over an hour to be there in the morning!

They also gave me two bags full of sample Vitamins and a 4 time a day one week pill keeper/reminder.

Hopefully by this time next week, I will be sleeved![/quote']

Hi cholula, I'm behind you I'm going to be sleeved dec 6 at the same place what test did you have to do ?my prep is on the 27th

I'm sleeved. All went well' date=' waiting for Dr Khayat to come in this am to put me on liquids.[/quote']

Congratulation to you... How do you feel?

I couldn't eat anything until the day after surgery. Not to worry though because you will not feel any hunger. For the next 2 days I was on a liquid diet (just broth' date=' Jello & tea/water). From day 3 until my 2 week check up I was on stage 2 of the liquid diet which included yogurt, mashed potatoes, creamy Soups and a few other items that I can't remember but they should all be in the handbook Hope that helps a little.[/quote']

Thanks so muchhh...ur responses has really ease my nerves a lot..ur a life saver

Best wishes to you. SSF Kaiser is known to be the 'Bariatric Guru'. Nothing to worry about. The surgery is only about 45 minutes and then the journey begins. Since Oct 3rd I've lost 25 lbs and couldn't be happier. It will be the best thing you ever did. <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />
