So 6 days post op now slowly starting to feel more human now! Saw my gp today had the dressings taken down sites all looking good told I could take some peppermint oil caps to help with gas! Found real chicken broth is nice during my post op time! Finding stuff to mix up and that I will tolerate during this fluid stage hard!

Can anyone tell me if peppermint de gas tablets are okay to have after being sleeved? I was sleeved on the 1st of October! Had lots of gas from both ends and after the leak test had the runs but that seems to have ended now. I am still feeling like an invalid but hey I am drinking more each day and feeling a little more better each day so just have to take it one step at a time!

Yeah I know the feeling! I was sleeved on the 1st still feeling rough not doing a whole heap just taking time we will feel better soon!

Well all done and I am home three days after surgery two nighs begging docs to let me home day 1 post op I was very nauseas and tired no real sleep both nights in a four bed room with noisy room mates and noisy nurses (although I couldn't feel more highly of the nursing staff looks after me wonderfully)! Glad to be home and looking forward to sleeping in my own bed tonight! And hopefully feeling better soon! Wishing everyone going in, in October all the best!

Well today is my day due in at the hospital at 700am slept okay till 230 then have tossed and turned and dozed since! Wind is really bad in melbourne so that is to partially blame for my lack of sleep! Lol I am excited to have this done little nervous but hey I guess that's normal! See you guys on the flip side!

Well tomorrow is my day going into hospital at 700 in the morning! Been told two nights in hospital. I am feeling a little nervous but mainly excited!

I am having my sleeve done on the 1st, I started by telling family and close friends! When I started telling friends at work (they will notice when I am not there and I decided it was easier to tell them than try make something up!) I was blown away by the support that I received! I have now told most people I know and am loving the support I am going to have during this process! I decided for me this was the best way and I am glad I did it this way, however it is everyone's own personal decision what to say!

I am having mine in melbourne on the 1st! Can't wait!

Yeah I know little excited 9 sleeps for me in Australia! We have a very low calorie diet for our pre op diet so not as bad as the liquid diet!

I am excited about my op a little nervous but mainly excited! I am having mine done in the public system I know who the surgeon is supposed to be but can not be 100% sure! I am already on my pre op diet as was originally due to have op on the 20th of this month but now for 1st just decided to stick with it as I had gotten past the hardest part and didn't want to start again!

I am in melbourne due to be sleeved on the 1st of October! Sooooo excited

I am scheduled for the 1st of October was originally the 20th of sep but had to be moved due to scheduling issues! Really looking forward to it! I am from Australia!
