Hi Guys... I came home today. Tuesday after surgery I felt great. Wednesday the gas pains kicked in & it took a while to get the gas moving. Today I am so excited to be home & feel like I am making progress. My surgeon said my belly button is kind of far away from the top incision so he had to make a side incision to remove the portion of stomach, That is the incision that hurts a little. I don't have a drain or any bandages to change. My surgeon used some type of surgical glue to mend my incisions, he said the glue will flake up & dissolve within about a week. I'm trying my best to get all of my liquids in. For now I am focused on staying hydrated, Protein comes 2nd, since I really cant drink much. I start full liquids on Sunday but I'm in no rush.

At the hospital about to join losers bench!!!!! Blessings to all!!!!!

Hi... I am a little nervous, but more excited. I started packing today. I have a 2 day pre op liquid diet, so far so good. I decided to go to work on the day before (25th) so I could stay busy & hopefully be too busy to be hungry. I wish all of you the best, happiness, success & a speedy recovery!!!!!

Glad you're so close to getting what you want. My date is August 26, 2014... I'm so excited!!!!!

I increased my cell phone data plan to unlimited so I can watch youtube videos about gastric sleeve all day at work, LOL.

My date is August 26, 2014!!!!! I have a 2 day pre op liquid diet. I have been doing low carb for the past 3 months. I have a question. My friends are giving me a big celebration BBQ on the 23rd, is it ok to have alcohol 3 days before surgery? I will do the 2 day pre op as directed on the 24th & 25th.

If no on local responds... You can ship them to me I am in Maryland, I can PayPal you the shipping cost. The only items I may not be able to use are the jeans... I'm 5'8''... Thank you for posting

Congrats!!!!!

Hello... I have been trying to figure out, if both the lap band & sleeve are restrictive, Why do statistics show such a higher success rate with the sleeve? Neither cause mal-absorption. I have about a month to decide between bypass & the sleeve. I'm pretty sure I want the sleeve, I just hope it is enough considering their is no mal-absorption.
