I had surgery September 28th. I was home the next day. The gas pains are the worst! Make sure you are stocked up on gas-x because you will need it. Walking helps alot! I was in quite a bit of pain after surgery. They brought me to my room and I just could not get comfortable in the bed because of all the gas pains, I had to get up and walk immediately

Ahhh its becoming real.

Has anyone else experienced this?

I had to register at 8:15, I went back and got prepped. I got taken back for the surgery around 10:10. I was in my room by 1pm. I remember waking up in recovery and then unhooking me from stuff and be saying it hurts, they gave me meds for the pain and I slowly started waking up. The first day was rough, but it does get better. Walk as much as you are allowed. I was brought into my room and almost immidately got up to walk because I was so uncomfortable

I got discharged today. I am home now. The gas pains are the worst part. Today is better than yesterday though

How did your surgeries go

I guess we are all on the same about staying busy cleaning lol. Good luck with your surgeries

I started clear liquids yesterday

I'm on a clear liquid diet, so no pudding or anything you cant see through. I'm starving lol

Yes. I'm feeling the same way. I've stopped researching. I planned a busy day for tomorrow to keep my mind off of it

What is everyone eating for their liquid diet...or drinking rather

I drink the Pre made Atkins shakes. They were recommended by my surgeon

Had anyone had an abnormal ekg during their preop testing?

What was your experience like? Were you sedated?

I ended up not having to do one

Oh, I thought you were awake during it

Yes. I lost 25. I actually wasn't mad I had to do it. You should have to prove your really want it as its an entire life change

I agree with that ^^

Are you on a lot of medications? Rny has a longer recovery time. You should ask why she is pushing your towards the sleeve. I asked my surgeon his opinion. I went with RNY, which is what I was leaning towards to begin with. He thought RNY was best for me

September 28th

I was required to lose 15 lbs during my 6 month diet

They go by your starting weight . Your BMI can go below 40. They only look at your starting weight and that you lost what they wanted during the supervised diet
