My DR had me wait 12 weeks but I now drink them in my Water and take in capsules on a daily basis as needed. I can only speak for YL oils though.

Walk as much as you can. It will relieve the pressure quicker.

Prayers and positive thoughts for you! How are you getting home from hospital?

Sleeved 10/21. Kept two nights. Pain meds wreaked havoc on me. Finally found a liquid one my body didn't react to. Much better now I am home. Sleep and a shower does wonders. I had my hubby put scale away while I was in hospital. Not weighing myself until post op appt in two weeks. I recommend if you did not take measurements of yourself to do so. Sometimes scale doesn't move but you are losing inches. Go easy on yourself. You just went through major surgery. Give your body and mind sometime to heal.

I have had catheter since surgery yesterday. Taking it out at 11 tonight.

Had mine yesterday too. Cats naps. They don't let you sleep much lol. Sore but not too bad.

I started mine today too. I am hungry...Cleaning the house, doing laundry, anything I can to keep myself busy. 21st better get here quick. My house will be spotless by Tuesday

I am one week from today and very anxious. Wish I could go in and do it right now. Hate the waiting

I am the 21st also. Two weeks from tomorrow! Scared and excited!

I currently use Essential Oils also and am having the Sleeve on Oct 21st so am very curious about this. I very rarely ingest but once in awhile if I feel a cold coming on I will ingest Oregano.

Thank you for sharing this. I have a three year old at home and that is one of my concerns. My husband will be home the first week but I will be on my own with her after that. Congrats on your new journey!

Good luck today!

I will say a prayer that it is just a fluke and that everything goes smoothly for you.

I am the 21st also!

Chug a glass of water when you feel hungry. It will help a little.

Had my endoscopy gastrophy (?) today. Went ok. Sore neck and headache for last several hours and tired but not bad. Three weeks from tomorrow. Getting excited!

Just went today for all my pre op tests. Chest xray, EKG, urine sample, bloodwork. One more step closer.

I am Oct 21st Rochester NY

I go on Thursday for a clinical seminar with the RN to go over what to expect before and after the surgery as well as what to expect the first couple weeks after surgery and then after that I go for all the pre-op testing (EKG, bloodwork etc). Then a week from today I go in for the Upper Gastroscopy. Things are moving quick now that I have gotten the approval and date of surgery. Anyone feeling anxious? I am so excited but so nervous.

Nikki my date is the same as yours.

Awesome! Congrats!

I got my approval today and am also scheduled for October 21st. Keep in touch. Lets help each other through this!

The waiting does suck! Hopefully it will all move very quickly for you. I was stunned how fast my approval came back. Good luck!
