Morning December VGS'ers. Well I'm just six days from my surgery date and I'm still nervous about the surgery. This is not my first time at the rodeo ( surgery). So saying that, I'm thankful for this site and the support and encouragement I find here each day. Also, the site is great for information pre and post-op. As I said before the pre-op diet really kicked my butt the first four days until I found the culprit. Since then I'm doing much better and lost 6lbs. Good luck to all on your recovery and and the start of your new life. Blessing to all of the us still waiting and prayers for good outcomes.

Good day my Aussie sleever and thank God u got ur surgery and on to a healthier life style! Ty 4 letting us know that ur doing well. Hoorayyy, no gas pains and keep it up, walk drink drink walk walk walk n pain meds, its what I'm gonna keep encouraging all u newbies to do;). Ull do gr8 and keeps us in tha loop. Have a gr8 d and a speedy recoveryyyyy:)))))

Hey atl red you left me off the dec 12 list! However since im in Australiia im already out of surgery :-) it all went well. i am fairly sore now but much better than when i first wokeup. No gas pains yet hooray! just 1 of my incisions is bugging me. Good luck to my fellow dec
12 sleevers!!

1 day out and feeling ok. Pain has been managed so I can't complain about that .having a little trouble drinking but forcing it down.

Congrats!! I'm glad that ur doing gr8! Thx for keeping us posted on how u are doing. Ur gonna do amazn, can't wait to take the journey w all of u postops:). Have a gn. Hope ur sleeping well.

just letting everyone who's fresh out know... i'm a dec 3rd sleever and today i FINALLY feel human! i was finally able to walk more than 5 mins without horrible pain in my right side! i even weaned off the dilaudid and valium pills and now just taking tylenol. I had a few breakdowns in the past week but i can definitely feel my body healing, and you will too!! hang in there everyone!

Did anyone else get really bad headaches on their pre-op diet? I started on Monday and have had really bad headaches everyday... So bad that I had to take ibuprofen. I won't take any ibuprofen after tomorrow because I technically am not required to start my pre-op till Friday, but wanted to kind of ease myself into it and am glad I have... Days one and two were pretty hard, and now on day three, I'm not even hungry! The hardest part for me is getting under 40g of carbs per day... I never realized how many carbs were in everything!!! The "sugar-free" items still tend to have carbs, so it's pretty much just room for three Protein Shakes a day and a ton of Water for me...

Let's hear it for the Dec 12 group!!! Hope you all have a smooth and easy recovery! Looking forward to hearing from you all when you are able to check in!

Hi all my surgery date is December 26 I am NOT new to the website , I had the lap band for 18 months and then had to get it removed due to a hiatal hernia! Even though this will be my 3rd surgery getting first getting my lab in and then getting the lap band removed and now getting the sleeve it doesn't get any easier excited but nervous

My information was submitted to insurance on November 25. I just called and they told me I was approved and a letter would be sent to me. Turns out, it has been approved since December 2nd. I guess they were waiting for me to follow up before sending a letter. Looks like we are good to go for the 23rd!!!!! No pre-op diet.

After an initial denial this morning, I FINALLY got insurance approval this afternoon. Surgery date is next Wed., December 18th! I only have to do 5 days liquid diet with last day Clear Liquids. So relieved to FINALLY know that this is really going to happen.
