HAPPY NEW YEAR!

well I'm finally homeward bound....HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Well I was sleeved on 12/28 @ 7:30am. The procedure it self appears to have gone well. But I cannot keep any liquids down, every time I take a sip of anything I feel it bubbling around in my chest & tummy area - eventual end up throwing it up. So now I'm back to nothing but the iv only. My nurse said I may be here another day cause they can't release me till they know I can keep down the liquids. I still have not passed gas, but I've been burping all over the place. I take a walk after I use the restroom, hoping to get the air moving. Please keep me in your prayers

Merry Christmas! Friday is my day to be seated on the losers bench, I am very much looking forward to this time next year - I won't be on a liquid diet, LOL

i have not seen aunt flow since 2006 due to endometrial ablation procedure, i sure as heck hope she dont come back after i get sleeved. the chances are slim to none, but it sure is scary to think about going through that all over again

WELL... as of this morning I was able to secure a December date with another doctor (Sheilendra Suresh Mehta, M.D.) he works with now my old doctor (Erik B. Wilson, M.D.). As a matter of fact I met him before I met with Dr. Wilson – what a strange twist of fate. Now I just need to steady my nerves and take it one day at a time. I know God is in control and everything works just the way He planned, not as I planned... THANKS FOR THE ENCOURAGEMENT AND SUGGESTIONS, YOU GUYS ROCK :wub:

Praying for you

Praying for you

thanks guy, needed that! now that i am back to myself, time to fight! monday i will be able to plea my case before the advocate, hopefully they can squeeze me in before the doc goes on his christmas vacation. if not, wipe the dust off my feet and move quickly on to the next reputable doc that can see me before the 31st. Unfortunatly it's a totally different ins company, so no hope of it being honored. Good thing i'm in Houston, so i have lots of choices - just gotta find the right one quickly. BTW - i went to my car and had a small pitty party , but i'm ready to move forward i got till 12-31 to make it happen kaptain :ph34r:

OMG, NOW WHAT.....After jumping through all the required hoops, and waiting forever for the final approval from my ins it appears I wont be scheduled till Jan.7th at the earliest. That's too late, my ins company changes on the 1st, so many other things changes with my job that..... I can't go through this process another 6 months, oh well I guess its game over for me

Praying for you

i have had RA for the past 4 years and i'm suppose to have surgery this month. i am currently taking methotrexate, folic acid, and LOTS of advil. i am curious how has being sleeved affect your RA, any post-op peeps care to share...

I think It's the 20th, but I'm hoping sooner

PRAISE GOD, I BEEN APPROVED! Now I just need to finalize a date
