    Esophageal spasms

    I had surgery Monday and I am having spasms. I am waiting for them to go away. Drinking warm things is better than cold at least for me.
  2. Surgery wet well on Monday :) Pain is tolerable but I am having spasms, I hope they go away soon.

      Hey lady! I had my surgery on Wednesday. Nice to meet someone going through what I am right now. I asked to retake my ice pack home from the hospital and it has been my best friend along with my pillow to get I'd of spasms.

  3. Today is the day :)

    Any RNs out there?

    I'm a nurse... I'm having my surgery March 10th at the hospital I work at. I also work 12hr shifts, at night. I am only taking 2 weeks off. I can't afford to take longer and I think it will be just fine. The people I work all know I'm having surgery and they are very helpful. If I need longer I know my manager will work with me.

    The Beginning

    This was taken before my first doctors appointment in July 2013, when my sleeve journey began

      hang in there - it will be so worth it! I have already had my pre-op apt and it really was painless. I too worry about the nerves kicking in, but this is my second time around. I was approved and went in for surgery on 12-14-12 but they had to stop before they could complete surgery. So I have nerves about waking up with the disappointment of not completing the surgery again. Just keeping my fingers crossed that this time it will be completed and I can finally start this journey :)...

    BCN in Michigan

    never mind... I got my approval in 12 days from submitting to insurance just wanted to post an update incase anyone had a similar question
  13. Same here... my surgery date is march 10th and my preop appointment is today at 11:15. I start my diet after that. I'm trying to view it as two weeks until surgery and then two weeks until pureed foods... it helps a little its nice to know there is someone else going through the same thing at the same time Good luck!
  14. I have my preop appointment tomorrow, 2/24, and am supposed to start my diet... very nervous. I am making the choice now, I'm not going to cheat no matter what... I'm going to do everthing they tell me to. Here's to setting myself up for the best possible outcome. I've been planning for this surgery since last July and now that everything is in place its starting to feel real... very nervous but excited at the same time. Advice would be very welcome and calming
  15. My surgery is going to March 10th as well ... Getting close
  16. rmc32587

    Approved!

    Do you have your surgery date yet? I just got my approval as well and my surgery is scheduled for March 10. I start my pre-op stuff this Monday
  17. rmc32587

    Who is in March?

    I got my approval today for March 10 I start my pre-op diet on Monday... not sure of Protein source yet. The office has food/ protien supplements that they prefer you purchase. I'll know more on Monday based on what they recommend

    Pregnant With Sleeve Surgery?

    My sister became pregnant 7 months after surgery, she is currently 26weeks pregnant and her and baby are doing great
  19. Hi I'm new here and am considering getting the sleeve done. My insurance requires the consecutive 6 month weight loss program before approval so if I do have it done it won't be until January ish.... Since i haven't started the 6 month program yet. I just wanted to make myself known since mainly I've just been reading other's posts to get more info. Any advice is welcome

    why do I feel so hungry

    I have not had the surgery yet but my sister has...she said that feeling comes from too much acid in your stomach, her surgeon had her take a pepcid a day for the first three months and it really helped... Some people even have to take an antacid longer... Hope that helps

    new here :)

    Thanks... its nice to know that there are other people on here at about the same stage as me. I did end up calling today to start my six month program so I should be starting soon
