Hey everyone! I was sleeved on Wednesday 1/30 and came home yesterday afternoon. So far (knock on wood) things have been pretty good. I have gas pains which can be bad at times but I find that walking for a little, taking 2 Gas X strips and then sitting with a heating pad help. I'm trying to focus right now on getting in all my Protein and Water. I too am "eating" some broth and protein every 3 hours. I'm then waiting an hour after each meal and then continue sipping water - trying to get about 40 oz a day for now. I need to get more water in but I think this whole thing is a work in progress. There is so much to focus on when you first come home that it can be a bit overwhelming. One day at a time for all of us. Good luck everyone!

Good luck! It is such an exciting adventure, can't wait to watch your progress!
Thanks so much!!!!

Congrats! I bet you are a nervous excited reck! Lol I pray that all goes well and happy losing.
Thanks so much! I think right now I am more excited than nervous but I'm sure that will change once I get to the hospital!

I'm so excited / nervous - I have surgery in a few hours and can't sleep at all. I'm ready for the "new" me and the chance to start over weight wise!

Hi - I haven't had my surgery yet but I've read a lot on here that Hair loss sometimes occurs around 3 months out. Everyone said that it lasts for a few months but DEFINITELY grows back. It is probably a result of the low Vitamins. I've also read that people have been taken Biotin to prevent / assist with the hair loss. Don't worry - I think it is part of the process and will grow back! (Easier said than done I know - I'm very concerned about hair loss as well!)

Hey everyone - glad some other people are awake - my surgery is today in a few hours and I can't sleep. I'm so nervous / excited!

Thanks so much!

Hi Everyone - I'm sure that this was covered somewhere but I can't find it. Can someone tell me approximately how long the surgery lasts? I know it is probably different for everyone but a general idea would be good. My surgery is 1/30 - I am so excited and starting to get a little bit nervous! Thanks in advance!
-
I'm scheduled for January 30th as well. We will be fine! Nerves are natural and part of the process. Don't worry!

Try adding 1tbsp of instant coffee, 8oz of skim milk, 1tbsp of Peanut Butter and 1 scoop of Unjury - it is fabulous and really filling!

I"m familiar with Holbrook my friend lives there. I'm scheduled for 1/30 and currently on the liquid diet.< /p>

When are you scheduled - where are you located?

Hi - I'm located in Wantagh New York and going to Dr. Gadaleta with North Shore Hospital.

Good Luck and Congrats! I'm on 1/30 - feeling nervous as well!

Getting sleeved on January 30th - I'm so excited!
-
Congrats on your approval! I received mine a few weeks ago. I'm scheduled for surgery January 30th and Wednesday when I started the pre-op diet it hit me as well. I've thought about this surgery a million times and am confident in my decision but as it gets closer (after such a long process!) I think it is natural to be nervous and be doubting yourself. Just rely on whatever motivated you through all the pre-op appointments!

Hi - Good Luck tomorrow! I'm sure you will do GREAT! I have nothing but positive things to say about Dr. Gadaletta and the practice so I'm sure Dr. Gellman is great as well. I"m about 3 weeks out and doing pretty good. I've lost almost 30 pounds and really have had no other complications (except gas pain the beginning.) I am getting sick of just liquids - but it is all part of process. Let me know how everything goes!
