Congrats on your decision! I have no regrets. I am 6 days post op. the nerves will not leave you until it's done. You did your research, planned a course , not just put it in the hands of your medical team. The pain has been minimal, ( except for the gas) walk,walk,walk. Sip, sip,sip. Listen to your new tummy- I couldn't get all my liquids in till day 4 post op, each day I would just keep at it. Let us know how your doing after surgery! Be kind to yourself

I didn't have a BM till day four post op and when I did it wasn't very much. at this point we are not putting much into our bodies. I had a two week pre op diet, so I doubt there was much in there anyway

Using small pillow against the incision helps when getting up and down( even from a recliner) just hold it against the area that hurts and then move. use the pain meds and nausea meds. Each day has gotten better for me. Fluids are a challenge. Best of luck

Got sleeved yesterday at 730am, had to have a hernia repair( I didn't know I had a hernia). Gas pain bad last night, ice and gas drops made me nauseous. Walk, walk,walk... Take the pain meds and anti nausea meds. Good luck

Day 3 post op- gas pain is much less this morning. Not sleeping through the night yet, getting about 4 hours at a time. Gonna try sleeping in my bed tonight( I've been in recliner since coming home) focusing on Protein and liquids today. Walking, walking, walking... I haven't stood on the scale yet, weighing once a week, so I will weigh on Monday. I know at the hospital they gave me a ton if fluids, so I'm not counting my weight at discharge. how are the June 9 the folks doing? Are you all home? How's your pain/ intake going ?

Surgery yesterday. Some gas pains last night, got up and walked. Feeling better this morning. Ice chips make my sleeve unhappy

Room temp Clear Liquids are much better for my new tummy. Pain/ nausea are better. I may be going home this afternoon

I go tomorrow also, I have to be at hospital at 5am! I'm glad it's so early. Surgery is at 730

Today- I'm ready! Tomorrow- ?

I love this thread! I got pedi and a new do too, something short with blonde highlights for the summer. I'm also treating myself by having a cleaning service come this morning and deep clean my house. Surgery is Monday! Good luck on your pre op diets. Keep those toes lookin good, it's a great distraction

I'm sure we will all have some anxiety when we get to the hospital. Change brings stress, wether it's a GOOD change or bad. Im gonna focus in the end result- a new healthier me:)

I'm June 9th. From what I've read in these forums the first couple weeks should be the worst. I can't wait. I start my pre op diet on 5/27

had my pre op with the surgeon today, next stop the OR! Only 3 more days

Good luck!

Hello all of my June friends! 8 more days for me. Good luck and speedy recovery to all

Good luck to all of you! Mine is next week on the 9th... 8 more days!!!

I have a 2 hour preop class on Monday and my final appt with surgeon on Thursday next week. It's all coming so fast. Then on to surgery on the 9th! Only 12 more days! I'm really nervous about the surgery, I've never had surgery. I'm trying not to over think it or I will be a basket case by the 9th:)
