    Sorry that happened to you. I drank a liter of Pedialyte for 2 days, and I can see a difference, so broth, Water, Protein shakes and Pedialyte will be my best friends for the next few weeks. I'm so thankful for a site like this, there's so much good info we can pass around.

    Thanks for that info, I've been to the ER previously, they gave me IV fluids, and told me to increase my fluid intake, so I started back on the full liquid diet today, and so far I've been able to hold it down, so for the next week or 2, liquids is what I will be doing.

    Hello All, I'm curious ... I'm 6wks out, will be 7 wks come Monday, and I'm having some issues. I've been vomitting and dizzy and having headaches, I was fine up until about 3 wks ago. The Dr. says it just migraines but I'm curious to know if anyone else has had any problems like this or similar, since having surgery. And what helped you if so, I was given prescriptions and they are helping some.

    I had my surgery Monday, January 11th and so far I feel pretty good. A little gasey, but I have no appetite at all, I'm drinking water good, and I'm able to eat a little jello, but I can't get much broth down. I'm not in any pain which is good.

    for me it was the best 2 hour nap I ever had; they're just looking inside to see if you have any hernias etc, I do, it will be fixed during surgery ... recovery, I just had a sore throat the rest of the day and the next.

    Hello everyone, hope you all enjoyed your Thanksgiving, I haven't been in here in a while, but today I come with exciting news, I got approved and my surgery date is January 11th, 2016; I'm excited and anxious. I start my pre op diet on the 28th of this month, I'm not looking forward to it, but I know it will be worth it.

    New here and so glad I found this thread. I don't have a date yet, but I've been to a seminar, seen the dietician, and therapist, so far everything is going good and moving along pretty fast. I see the Bariatric Dr again at the end of this month, and hopefully I will have a date set. Good luck to all of you ladies, and I look forward to hearing your stories and updates.

    A bariatric seminar is a good thing to go to if they have them in any of you alls area, I went to one tonight, the speakers were the bariatric Dr, and surgeon, it was very informative, and answered a lot of my questions.

    I have PCOS, insulin resistant, and metabolic issues, as well as high blood pressure, and my Dr recommended the sleeve. Like others said, I'd get a second opinion. With either one you choose, I wish you much success, and the same to everyone else!

    Thank you for responding, so far I haven't had any issues, I should know for sure by the end of the month.

    For me it's the constant sticking with needles for my insulin and checking my blood sugar, being dependent on blood pressure pills and just being too big. I want to be healthy and fit, and this is my beginning!
