I was told no soaking /swimming for 3 weeks

So sorry you are going throught that....hope it heals soon and that you get to go home and get better <3

How do you know if you have a leak? What are the sympotoms?

YAY! I feel like a slacker though...lol did anyone gain a lot of weight in hospital? I was only in for 1 night and came home 10lbs heavier, I finally lost those10 lbs but only lost 3 after that....I hope this doesn't mean I will be a slow loser

That is awesome!! Congrats!!

Did anyone gain a lot of weight in the hospital from all the fluids? I was only in hospital 1 day and when I came home and weighted myself I was 10 lbs heavier. Now 1 week post op I finally lost those 10 lbs and only 3 extra... does this mean im going to be a slow loser

1 week post op today... I was feeling pretty good but as of late evening last night I don't know if I turned wrong or lifted something I wasn't suppose to but my main incision hurts like hell. It feels like the first day of surgery. Im worried but just taking it super easy. Follow up is on Friday.

4 days post op..doing ok...still lots of pain at large incisions sites when getting up and down or trying to sit. Ive been trying to walk as much as possible. I am having a hard time getting water in, not because of nausea or anything...I sip sip all day but I just don't feel like im getting very far. Also came home from hospital 10lbs heavier that really sucked all those iv fluids and gas. I can't wait until I can sleep on my side again..sleeping on my back with a million pillows is getting old, lol. Has anyone experienced Diarehha? I have it and don't understand how because I don't have food in my tummy. Just broth, water and alittle protein drink.

Its 4:40 am here in CA where I am and Im getting ready to leave for hospital. Surgery at 7:30...today is our day! Good luck and prayers for everyone. we got this!!

Tomorrow!!!!

yep, I had some slip ups...but never anything too bad. I did have like string cheese or lunch meat when I felt I needed food, but it's hard to get back on track after the slip up. You got this, you are doing Great! Keep up the good work

2 more days!!! What time is everyone scheduled for?? I get the first of the day. Got to be at hospital at 5:15am and surgery at 7:30

Ive been on my liquid diet since June 4th... the premier Protein shakes I love and stomaching those aren't that bad..its the powder protein..makes me sick just typing about it..LOL YES! I am loathing my shakes. It makes it harder knowing I will have to rely on them for my protein weeks after the surgery too. My head is playing mean games with me. All I can think about is all the foods I want. We have this though. We've worked so hard for months to get here, we can do it a few more days! I am a little worried about the day before. I have been told I can't have anything but clear liquids. No shakes. Popsicles and broth are my friends I guess.

OMG...our time is coming up soon!! I have a question, anyone else finding it more and more difficult to stomach the protein shakes??!!! Everyday gets harder and harder to stomach them. I want to gag and vomit and its not even after surgery yet! Man this sucks!

Just got the call that my surgery will be the first of the day on June 18th. I have to be at hospital at 5:15am surgery at 7:30 and my Dr. does the gastric sleeve with a robot assistance. Anyone elses Dr do the surgery robotically? Wonder if it cost more?

Keep your head up . There are so many people out there who will tell you that you can't. What you've got to do is turn around and say "watch me".

You look awesome

I am scheduled for June 18th and also started my pre-op diet on June 4th. The first 4 days were super easy for me but now im struggling!!

My surgery is on June 18th...been on 2 week liquid pre-op diet for 3 days now and doing a lot better than expected. Im so excited to open a new chapter in my life book!!

Tomorrow I start my 2 week liquid diet...surgery date June 18th...getting super excited!

I've always heard not to lift until 6 weeks or so.. I am pre-op sleeve June 18th and I have a 13 month old. I asked my surgeon and he said not to lift more than 20=30 lbs!! That sounds crazy to me so I guess it wont hurt anything to lift her (she's small 20 lbs) but Im sure will cause pain. Im doing it over the summer so my older kids will be home to help 12, 10, and 5 but I don't like putting that responsibility on them..so hoping after the first week of not lifting...I will be able to do it myself..fingers crossed

It shouldn't work like that...the whole you have to meet the family ded. first...that sucks. I too have a husband and 4 kids and our family ded. is $4500 max for family plus the $1500 ded. each person. I seriously don't understand how insurance works...they make the #'s look a little good than you still pay out the was ohhh. LOL We have a $3000 max out of pocket per person which doesn't include the $1500 ded. so im sure I'll be paying right around the whole $4500 for the surgery...another reason I plan on using my new tool to the fullest and praying extra hard to to fall back into any old eating habits. I hope if I need any other procedures done it gets done this year as well because in Jan. back at $0..lol

From start to finish it took 7 months for me. Probably would of been around 4 but the first 3 months of diet/nut classes my surgeon had me go too wasn't good enough for my insurance. So I had to start all over for the 3 month diet classes required from Cigna. I will probably spend about $4000=$4500 out of pocket when all is said and done. Surgery is scheduled for June 18th, had my pre-op today and had to pay my $1500 deductible today as well. I also had to pay out of pocket for my phyc eval. and I will have to pay 20% of whatever the surgery comes out to be.
