  8. Sassy you made me feel better my doc sed glue too, I was thinking I was the only one. I was sleeved on feb 11, and I'm itchy as hell. They must've used ape n my boobs and I had quite a reaction to that.
  9. We're in nj knowledge? I had my surgery in englewood.
  10. Kim Surgery for me went well, and I was walking to the bathroom that day. My doc left in a drain for a week for precautionary measures. I'm still very sore. Showering is very difficult. It's also hard to remember to sip every 5 min. Honestly the pain is minimal but it is just uncomfortable. Hope all goes well for you.
  11. I'm actually at 63g of protein e cause I se skim plus which my nut said it was ok.
  12. I'm close o 64oz. I just started drinking the protein because I felt so hungry and had been puking a few times. My doc has said to get the protein in, so I just wasn't sure how much.
  13. Next time I'm going to the salon for a wash and blow its worth the 35 bucks lol
  14. I didn't have one either, it concerned me but the doc said don't worry about it
  15. How many grams of protein should we be getting with 5 days post op?
  16. Hey everyone I was sleeved on the 11th. I have now puked twice since leaving the hospital. I'm on the clear liquids and I'm getting so bored of water, chicken broth, jello and ice pops. Things definitely taste different now. My tummy is still sore, especially after puking. Now I have developed a slight cough which doesn't feel good. I go to the doc tues and get my drain removed. I can't wait until I can eat purreed food. One of my wounds actually is slightly open doctor says it's ok that it happens sometimes, the body rejects the glue. I find the hardest thing is showering. Washing my hair for the first time was quite a challenge, my poor husband was so frustrated.
  17. My tongue looks normal..I got back to the doc on Tuesday hopefully he will have answers
  18. I was sleeved on Monday and my throat is killing me, the doctor says its from the breathing tube..how long did everyone else'Sbother them?
  19. Jessica I was sleeved Monday as well. The isopure protein drinks are pretty gross. i just got home today. Taking a shower was difficult, I too keep forgetting to take sips
  20. I'm getting sleeved the 11th too, where r u going? Good luck!
  21. My surgery is actually next monday 2/11
  22. Thanks...luckily my insurance pays for the surgery. My husband has a government job so we have good benefits. Good Luck with yours.
  23. No pre-op preperation..I was actually searching for surgeons in my area and this doctor and his two brothers have a practice together, and I didn't want to have the surgery in my local hospitals and found that this practice has right at Englewood, and yes I believe it is Englewood hospital
