I had my surgery yesterday. Everything went well. They did find and repair a small hiatal hernia. I am feeling way better than I expected I would. I am just thirstier than I ever thought possible. Fortunately I just "passed" my swallow test so I should be getting a drink any time now. If all goes well I should go home later today. ???? Sending positive vibes to my fellow 1/18 sleevers!

I had mine on the 18th as well. That swallow test caused some awful nausea! I stayed in until Wednesday because I couldn't get enough Fluid down and didn't pee until late evening. I felt much better going home Wednesday. Now just trying to get fluid and Protein and manage pain.

Congrats! Hope all is still well. I'm 3 months out (and 73 lbs - 45 since surgery 10/26/15) and just got a great report at doctor's today. The first week is tough but it gets better from there. Better every day. Just follow Dr's directions and all should go well.

Thank you.

I have a quick question. My surgery was on Monday and I was released yesterday. Late last night and early this morning I noticed that my hands and wrists were incredibly sore and a bit swollen. Is that normal? Has anyone else experienced this?

Welcome to the losers' bench! Be kind to yourself these next few days. It could get a little rough. Glad to hear you are feeling okay so far. Remember to sip, sip, sip and walk, walk, walk.

I'm scheduled for January 18. Just got my insurance approval yesterday. I'm a little luckier than most as my surgeon only requires a 1 week pre-op diet, which I will be starting on Monday. ????

Also a January sleeve here, 1/18 in wisconsin. Getting through the pre-op diet now!

Seems that there are many threads about January sleevers, but now we have a place to call home.
My surgery is January 20th. I'm having my band removed and sleeve at the same time. Currently talking my way through day 2 of this preop all liquid diet... help!

I'm scheduled for the 18th. Starting my all liquid diet Monday!! Beyond EXCITED!!!
