I was sleeved Monday the 31st and had the hiatal hernia repair also. I felt like that was giving me more trouble than the sleeve! I was having trouble taking a deep breath and was super sore. I had that nasty yuck in the back of my throat but that has gone away now. I still feel like I have a brick in my chest - especially when drinking. I do better with warm or room temp drinks. I cannot drink cold water! Keep in touch! I hope you feel better!!

My surgery was also the 31st. How is it going for you? I ha a horrible day one and two but was better yesterday. I think the morphine was making me sick. I am tryin really hard to get the fluids in. I took a shower and feel human again!

I was also sleeved on the 31st! Day one an two were horrible but felt better yesterday. Took a shower this morning and feel better. Trying to get the liquids in is rough - the artificial sweetener is leaving a bad taste in my mouth! Yuck!

I got the call that my peer to peer review with my surgeon and the insurance went well and I was approved!!!! Surgery 3/31! Can't wait!

I know!! It seems silly. If I could lose it on my own I would not need the surgery!! I will keep my head up and think positive! I guess it could be worse - I originally was told a 6 month diet and it is only 3....

I am also waiting. My stuff was submitted last week and insurance had called my surgeons office for more weight history (I hope that is not a bad thing!). I am tentatively scheduled for March 31st if approved!

You are so lucky!!! I am going to Dr Ben Meir at Lake West. I love the staff I am working with!

Thanks!! If I can squeeze into a bathing suit at this weight , a little saggy skin should be a piece of cake! ????

I also have Crohns. I have had my consultation and am planning on having the sleeve done. I have the pre-op 6 month diet to do for insurance. I would also love to hear from fellow Crohns patients that had it done!
