I'm 3 days out and gave the constant feeling that something is stuck in my chest I'm just sipping Water and a teeny bit of soup

Try doing your liquid with just a teaspoonful, barely let it trickle down, also a barely warm heating pad on your upper tummy to relax the muscles, try warm instead of room temp or cold liquids, and although it sounds counterproductive to what i just said, sugar free POPSICLES. All else fails still notify your surgeon/surgical team, the valve between your esophagus/st9mach could be spasming. Although you're sore I'm sending you a virtual hug anyway!

I'm 3 days post op and supposed to be on full liquids but I'm having trouble getting liquids down....every time I sip then swallow the Water I get a weird pain in my upper chest. Any thoughts on how to resolve this?

I had my gastric sleeve performed on 12/7/18. I woke up today felling full and bloated. I don’t want to eat or drink anything. Is that normal?

Congratulations on your upcoming surgery!!
I was feeling older, tired, aching you name it...so I understand, but after surgery you will be amazed at how good you feel after you are all healed up and getting around, you will have much more energy, smile more...It's just a win win [emoji6]

I was 56 when I had my surgery. I think I did fine--look at my stats!

Did it bother you at all when you drove to the airport? I'm being sleeved Friday but have to get my son to and from school on Monday so trying to see if it's possible for me to drive or if I'm going to have to send him in an Uber

How long after surgery are you allowed to drive ?

You will be fine, God's got you... please post and let me know how you are feeling afterwards.

welcome newbie
i had my sleeve one month before i turned 58
it wasn't harder for ME to accomplish my weight loss
maybe a little slower - that is just me
never compare your successes to others, whether
they be a youngun, or an old fartd like us?🤣
good luck Friday

" userid="352906"] Gastric sleeve surgery today 12/03/2018. Anxious and excited to have better health I hope! HW 214 Today 203. [emoji51]

Every time I see Tallahassee I think of Feddie "Boom Boom" Cannon' s Song Tallahassee Lassie. Showing I'm older than dirt, aren't I but music has always been a part of my life.
But I know Tallahassee is your state capital, well today I am in my state capital , Columbus Ohio. Had a big blip and road breakdown, so been here in the same hospital I had my surgery in since last Wednesday, if loose ends get all tied up I'm 85% likely to be released yet today. Home Health because I will need skilled nurse to help me each evening with my TPN bags, S9cial Services and Discharge Planning , then to coordinate my trip to my home city Mount Vernon, 48 miles away.Came down for an ambulatory surgery appt and doctor consult, like Topsy it JUST GREW and now I am wanting to be freed.[emoji40][emoji593][emoji14]

Could be slower,could be sustained longer, but at 50+.60+70+ we are no longer required to be sprinters, besides in bifocals it's hard to run anyway. I plan to be a successful [emoji217] turtle one foot in front,of the other[emoji252]easing down the path to Good Health.
Own Roadway
Own rate of Speed
Own Life to Live
Own Victory to win
And I am going to do it, wave as I amble by, cause you will see me THERE[emoji14][emoji217][emoji14]

I just had mine done on Tuesday morning by Dr. Rameriaz. Home the next day and have been making great progress.
I'm getting my Water and Protein in me well!

I just turned 50 in May and I'm being sleeved this Friday December 7, 2018 and I'm wondering if the weight loss is slower or harder after the sleeve for the 50 and up crew....

Never mind ladies...Im not a native Floridian and didnt realize that Vero Beach is no where near Tallahassee lol

Since I am at the very beginning of the process can either of you share with me where u had the surgery....what surgeon etc?

Newbie pre-op in Tallahassee looking for a support group......

Jtickle.....how long was the process for u from first seminar to approval for surgery

I have UHC and am just starting the process....called them to find out what if any requirements they had and was told that there was no waiting period and as long as it was deemed medically necessary it would b covered....I go for my initial seminar on Monday so I guess we shall see
