Surgery was yesterday and the Dr said everything look good and no problems with gallbladder or hernia. Left shoulder pain was off the chart. I tried to stay on top of the pain through out the night which helped. I've been peeing like race horse since they filled me with 5 liters of Fluid before and durning surgery so a lot of good losing 10 lbs on the pre-op diet. Lol. The drain was removed this am and the shoulder pain is all most gone. So far tolerating liquids, ice chips, and Jello. Start Protein Shakes at lunch brought some of my own in case I didn't like the ones here. Been up and walking or sitting in rocking chair whIch helped with the left shoulder pain. Thinking of everyone having surgery today and fri. God bless you. Btw the staff here have been lovely and accommodating. Most of the nurses have been through some type of bariatic surgery themselves so they have a great amount compassion.

Greeting and best wishes to all December sleevers!
I am one of the hosts on this forum and I have a request.
December is my birthday, 65 this month.
Give me the gift of having a very successful surgery!

I was sleeved 12/10 (and then more surgery 12/15 for internal bleeding) and doing ok now. Having difficulty getting in protein, as the shakes make me gag. I'm probably only getting 15 grams of protein a day now, which is not good. Looking forward to mushy stage next week.

I'm getting sleeved in the morning also! Yay!

Hi All! Newbie here from NYC slated to be sleeved on Monday December 30th, excited, anxious, worried, and relieved all at the same damn time lol I'm 5'3 and currently weigh 280 my goal weight will be 140.

Thanks again, Tarheel! I'm not sitting upright very well so have not been at my computer yet! Good luck and positive thoughts to all of the 12/19 Sleevers!

I've been out of commission lately, so I wanted to be sure to wish all of the upcoming December sleevers smooth sailing with your surgery and wish all of the Post-Op December sleevers quick recoveries.

Well up and getting packed for the hospital. To all those already there, praying for a safe passage to the loser's bench. For the rest of us today and the rest of the week remember to stay clam and breathe. The loser's bench is right around the corner. To all those recovering keep up the hard work and keep us posted. Thanks for showing the rest of us the way to recovery.

After all the talk about bowels. I decided to take action before the surgery and start Mira-lax and some Fiber. May as well get the pipes clean out tonight. Lol

Just got a call saying my surgery time has been push back till 1:00 pm. Well that sucks. Well all I can say, is everyone make room on the losers bench. I'll be there with you tomorrow. My thoughts and prayers are with all the others scheduled for tomorrow and the rest of the week.

That's wonderful! I haven't been tired throughout thus either. Just have the terrible muscle pain behind the big incision. Glad I got a week off after all.
