When did you after surgery? I was told it is a very important step. I got sleeved on the 14th and i haven't yet, i'm getting very impatient. (I can burp though and the gas pain in my shoulders isn't as bad as it was before.) I want to fart and make sure i'm okay!

I get pain meds once every 6-8 hrs.

The baratric leader at the hospital my surgery was at told me that they basically are all the same. Medical compressions are very expensive, she even mentioned spanx. I'm just going to try spanx when i heal up. Good luck!

It's a burning. Not from the site by right by it. (Which is numb to the touch) They told me it will go away more when i walk, and to just keep talking.

One of my incisions is irritated. Anyone have advice? Ice? Heat?

5am, just got out of the shower for round 2 at the hospital. I am not looking forward to this. They did, however, call me last night and told me i am at the top of the list.

Thank you everyone.

I had an allergic reaction to plasma. Broke out in hives. No surgery until tomorrow. My blood isn't clotting as well as it should. Which is why the plasma. I took no aspirin so they've narrowed it down to not enough vitamin k, which is in veggies, which I can't have on the liquid diet. I had a panic attack while getting hives. I also was used as a damn pin cushion for 15 minutes until the specialist got there and nailed the blood draw in 1 shot. I cried, they really dug around in my hand. I just got home, then up at 5 am to be back at the hospital by 7. This is my first hospital stay ever. And it was horrible. I'm afraid to go back in the morning. I've never had plasma before, and this happens on the first try. It's like Karma is trying to kick my ass.

It's surgery day and i must of gotten 3 hours sleep, awesome. I also learned i cannot make a post with my phone, boo.

Thanks. I was looking for a wrap/girdle for after surgery. Have you tried any other products by them? I need some arm and thigh wraps too, lol.

Getting sleeved tomorrow.(Aug 12th) Warren County

Mine is tomorrow too! Good luck surgery buddy, lol.

My surgeon told me to get girdles to combat sagging skin. Arm, stomach, thigh.

I can't wait to be that size. You look awesome.

More awesome leftovers?

My surgeon told me to walk for 4 weeks, and then i can attempt things like crunches.

Pill crusher. Try a pharmacy? Some people put them between spoons and do it that way. I have a mortar and pestle so i will be using that.

Why do i start menstruating 2 days before surgery? Seriously. Like i haven't jumped through enough hoops with the insurance and the moving of the date and starting liquid diet all over. I am so pissed. I'm going to bleed everywhere! *facepalms*

Do not look at plastic surgery posts 2 days before your sleeve. I am terrified of saggy skin and needing surgery to get rid of it.

Well those pics terrify me. Awesome. I'm afraid of sagging skin even more than i already was. Can't go back now, surgery in 2 days.

APPROVED!

I've been on the phone since 10am. I am so pissed off. (Can i say pissed?) After everything....i'm waiting on this woman to call me back, telling me the insurance called her and approved this letter. I have a few hours left to wait i guess. I don't think this surgery is happening on Monday. This will be the 2nd time it's been moved. The 1st time, someone in the surgeons family died.

I receive a call this morning saying X is the time of my surgery and what to bring. 10 MINUTES LATER I receive a call from someone in the insurance dept of the hospital saying the letter my therapist sent wasn't good enough. That she should know how to word a letter to an insurance company and it wasn't "rocket science". the therapist the surgeon sent me to never finished his report from back in f**king April. I have an hour to fax this woman back. Well actually now it's 10 minutes. What the f**k. My therapist is on vacation, i have left every kind of messege for the therapist from the hospital, emailed my surgeon, even called the nutritionist to get her to see the therapist. (They're basically across the hall from eachother) If i don't do this ill have to restart the liquid diet again, FOR THE 3RD TIME. I am in f**king tears here because of the stress. f**k this b***h with no people skills being rude to me like i don't want this. Edit: Backup therapist called. she said "I got ya, what do you need?" Took this b*****s number/fax down and began writing a letter. She is going to call her and then fax her. I'm pretty sure i am in the clear. Like 80% sure. Also, whats up with this site censoring my writing, hrmf.

Talked with the surgeon yesterday. I am good to go. I had some extra blood work and talked to the anesthesiologist about being under for a set of shots i can't remember the name of. (He was attractive, but married...doh!) My unflavored Unjury powder came in. It's a little odd but my other protein is worse. I'm kinda nervous, kinda scared.
