Ok' date=' so I thought I would breeze through this no problem. Woke up from surgery with massive dry heaving and pain. Found out that the Morphine was making me very nausiated. They changed me to di lauded and now massive gas pains. Wondering if I made the right decision. I just want to cry. Hurt so badly. I even have a second belly button from the swelling. Need encouragement.[/quote']

Remember....every day gets better. Today is bad but tomorrow will be a little better. Get up and walk if you can. I promise it helps

As I read your post ' date=' I pray that you are home and doing well !!! I am pre-op waiting to get approval from insurance... Hoping it comes next week.[/quote']

I am doing great!!!!! I can't believe how easy this was. The soreness can be tough but every day it gets better and better!!!!!! Ill pray you get approval quickly!

You really look great!

Thanks a bunch. I feel really sore today so I am taking it easy

This is me pre-op

This is me about 1 hour post-op

This is me on day 1post-op...feeling great. Surgery???? What surgery????

Battle wounds

Oh....and no catheter which was a great surprise!!!!

Hi all. I was sleeved on July 2 and came home July 3! I had an amazing doctor Nd an amazing surgery. I am getting used to eating at home which is a little hard. I really do not have any pain but things are just......different going down. Hope all others who had their surgery July 2 or 3 are doing well

I cannot believe this day has come!!!!!! I am nervous and excited and nervous all over again. I can't believe that I cannot drink anything at this point...weird huh? I have waited for so long to have this surgery and the day is here. By this time tomorrow night ill be enjoying some pain cocktail and dancing in the hallways.....well maybe not the dancing part but hey... A girl can wish huh?

Good luck to everyone whose life is changing today along with mine. In will say a pray for all of us. For me I am asking for an extra dose of peace.

Ok... And a friend just had hers done today and she just told me she was catheterized!!! What the mess????? No one consulted me about this!!!!!! Uuggghhhhh

I was supposed to check in at 8:45' date=' but now it's not until 11. My nerves are fully engaged. ..

My time is 6 in the morning. My nerves hit bottom around noon today. I am shaking now!!!!

One more day July 2nd sleevers! I'm prepping my hospital bag' date=' finishing up the house chores and gardening- just trying to stay busy! With all this nervous energy I should have the house **** and span in no time. It's soooo hot for the Seattle area this week- today it's supposed to be 90 degrees and we have an excessive heat warning issued. I had a hard time sleeping last night since we have no AC and I fear tonight will be even worse with the heat & surgery combined. I ate my last food at midnight last night- on clear liquids for today. Hopefully I don't end up too hungry by tomorrow AM! I can't wait to hear all about people's experiences with prep, surgery and recovery....we got this! Don't forget to take measurements, weight, and lots of good before pics from all angles- you'll want them for comparison later on![/quote']

Ill be right there with ya!!!! I find out my time tonight and I am anxiously waiting by the phone for that call. I haven't even been hungry at all today. Did you have to do the liquid diet before? I only have a one day liquid diet...today. I found some ensure clear drinks at target just a moment ago and will have one of those if the hunger pangs start. Good luck to you!!!

Me too! I'm at the hospital in gown and socks... Nervous' date=' but excited! Oh crap, I forgot to remove my undies. Gotta go![/quote']

Good luck!!!! You must be in surgery now. Am sending up a prayer and praying ou won't even feel the pain but only joy in your new life!!!!

Wow! I can only imagine howw you must feel? Are you traveling for the procedure or in your home town? How are you preparing?

I am having it done about 5 minutes from my house!!!!!!! I woke up today a bundle of nerves!!!! I have never shaken with nervousness before but today it is visible!!

July2 here. I can't wait but am nervous. I cannot sleep tonight and have so much to do tomorrow!!!!!

My new lease on life is 7/2/2013

Me too!!!!!!!!! Are you nervous yet???? I am extremely anxious and nervous

My pre-op diet is apparently a one day thing!!! I start that Monday!

July 2!!!! I just got my date last Wednesday....less than a week to surgery date!!! I only have a one day pre-op diet so I have been blessed. I am nervous now though!!!!!!

Welcome! There are several of us with surgeries on Tuesday. I know I'm having some nerves' date=' too, and it led to some odd dreams last night!

Holy cow...I thought I was the only one having weird dreams!!!!!!! I hate being nervous because I am usually all in control of my feelings. I have read other forums and don't want to "grieve" food because I seriously won't grieve the fat that comes off!!!!! I guess I will lose my go to "comfort". However, I think what I will miss more are the family meals. How awful that we southern women tend to measure our success by how well people eat from our table!!!!!!

Welcome! You'll do great!! I'm a July sleever too!

When is your date??? Congrats!!!!!!!!!!
