nervous chick

Inflammation may be the reason for your pain as it was for me for the first two weeks. As the swelling goes down it will get better. Make sure you get sugar free frozen Popsicles theybwereva life saver. I was able to stay hydrated and eat them slow at the same time.

Hello Sleeved Goddess

About how long does this inflammation last. Im 5 days post op and still hurting & can barely eat or drink a think. Too painful. The gas is just sitting on my stomach and walking isnt doing it! Help!

Kinda nervous I got a call this morning to come in earlier my surgery time got moved up to 12.. Thankfully I was all ready to go... Will post later once awake!!!

Best wishes to you today!!!

Thank you & prayers to you as well for a speedy recovery!!!

Hi everyone! I'm Lisa and I'm getting sleeved tomorrow. I've spent a year researching and hanging out here and I finally decided to have the surgery done. Is it normal to still be second guessing my decision? I'm very nervous and would appreciate any positive thoughts sent my way.

Im so bummed, my surgery date was set for June 7th but got rescheduled due to my insurance coverage so unsure when my date is now! Im now seeing a new Dr. Anx everything! sucks big time!

June 6 is the big day!!

Only think left to do is pre-op!!!

Start liquid diet this upcoming Thursday (GULP!!)

Starting mine too. The Dr didn't request it but doing it anyway. Hope it goes well cuz I still need to lose 10pds. Best of luck to you on this journey. I'm right behind u with a June 7th surgery date!

I never thought about that. I wonder will I have to remove my piercings since they mentioned no jewelry

I was wondering the same thing! Lol

Hi' date='

I'm new to this site so I'm still trying to feel my way around on here! Anyway, I start my liquid pre op diet tomorrow and really wondering just how I'm going to make it through..... I mean, how hard is it and is there ANY thing to help "spice" it up somehow if that's possible! Lol

Any help would be greatly appreciated!! [/quote']

I too start mine tomorrow and im scared im gonna fail!

my date is june 17th

Welcome!!! Are you excited as I am? Abt to start my pre-op diet next week for a june 7th surgery date!!!

So i just received my packet for my sleep study and it says if u have weave u have to take it out....i just got my hair braided why do i have to take my hair out for a sleep study??? Please somebody let me know

You truly shouldn't have to take your braids down. I went in with braids and did just fine. They do put sticky gel in your hair but its really not bad at all! You'll do just fine!

I can't believe it ! But yay good luck and speedy recovery to you too!!!!!!

Best of luck to you and wishes to you for a speedy recovery!!!
