I got to come home around 11 o'clock today

I think it's crazy how we all have different rules our diets. I was on clear liquids while in the hospital and now on full liquids for two weeks.

I'm having the same gurgling/ cramping trying to get liquids down and I think you're right about the hiatal hernia repair! Hopefully it gets better with time!

Mine went really fast! I've heard people's periods starting pretty quick too. Hope you are feeling better! I'm having trouble sipping liquids and haven't gotten any protein in yet. I plan on trying a pre made shake tonight. I'm so excited for us! We made it! Happy New Year to us!!!

We made it through! Pain was pretty intense immediately afterwards but have gotten a handle on it. Now just dull ache. Prayers you guys!!

How are you feeling post-op? With pain meds I still have pain/soreness but nothing like when I first woke up! Hope your night is going well!

Yes! Good luck! Praying it goes well for everyone

I could use a few book recommendations! I've got a few on my list but nothing I'm really excited about.

Good luck to you as well! I'm envious you're in NC!

I check in at 8 and surgery at 10. Eeeeep!!

I'm packing some pj's so I won't be stuck in a hospital gown if I don't want to be. I'm bringing my pillow ( I work at the hospital and the pillows are flat!) toothpaste/brush and stuff to wash my face as well as some lotion. It's really dry here! And technology! Kindle and laptop

Oh my goodness ladies!! Countdown has started! I guess I should start getting a hospital bag together. Eeeeep!

How funny! I'm going with a friend and getting a mani/pedi to relax me lol

I'm an RN too! I work in the NICU here. I know a lot of people who work at the hospital and have had the sleeve. I've heard nothing but good things! How is everyone feeling? I go in dec 31 (Monday). I'm feeling a bit nervous!

Amarillo Texas

Dec 31st here as well good luck ladies! Serious New Years resolution for us! I'm excited for our future

So glad you're on the 31st as well! I'll definitely check in with you. I'm getting nervous too but I try to keep focus on the end results. I'm in Texas and on central time. Is your 5:30 the same as mine?

I'm having surgery Dec31st! We are close Good luck on your surgery!!

Just a few days now! I check in at 8 am Monday morning. I'm scared but excited. I've never had surgery before! So ready to start this journey!!

Ha a lap around the station! It's going to be an interesting new year for sure

I thought it can't hurt to look for locals that have or are having surgery

Im so grateful I found these blogs and can go through this process with other people! Anyone else having surgery around the same time?

Thank you guys! I meet w my doctor on the 18th and I'm sure he will go over those details. Did you guys check in the night before or the morning of?

I haven't gotten approval yet but hopefully things fall into place the way they think it will. I have to request time off 2 months in advance so really crossing my fingers!
