Is your surgeon here in Washington?
I admit, I woke up at 5am, pretty darned excited. (And hungry!). Crossing my fingers and toes against post-op nausea for me/you/all of us.

Woo-hoo, Jen! I'm excited to follow - I get sleeved today, too! Here's wishing you very little pain and no nausea!
Today's weight 201.4 after the misery of yesterday's fast. I will be in One-derland soon!

My sleeve's tomorrow at 11. Can't wait to be done.

I'm post-op, and over here in the Tri-Cities, but still wanted to pop in and say hi!

Hoping things go well tomorrow! Update us! Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App

Had surgery yesterday at 4pm, a couple hours late. Because of the hiatal hernia I couldn't do the single incision. Feeling ok and walked for the first time at 10pm. Looking forward to drinking Water and seeing my family today.

Hi! I'm in the Tacoma area and I'm going in on 6/22 to have my vsg done by Dr. Srikanth. I'm glad to hear things went well for you! I'm getting nervous now that it's getting close. Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App

Yes,we are on the same boat..My surgery was 6/17 and I feel like I didn't really go thru intensive surgery...I had a little acid reflux and sore throat but that went away same day. But the dry mouth sucked! I am feeling just fine and normal...just trying to make sure my Protein intake is on point and all my liquids are where they need to be! Congrsts on your new journey!!

I hear you.Mine is Thur and I have a little lump in my throat. I am still more excited than anxious though.
You will do fine. Take some deep breaths and let the fear go.

About 10 years ago I attended Dr. Srikanth's informational meetings but was apprehensive about taking such a drastic step in getting my weight under control. One month ago Dr. Srikanth performed the sleve and duodenal switch on myself. My only regret is not doing it 10 years ago. I am a 52 year old male, 6'6 in height and was 430 pounds at my heaviest point. I had type 2 diabetes, sleep apnea, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. At this point, two months into my journey, I have lost 75 pounds, my blood surgars are near normal and my life expectancy has changed significantly. Dr. Srikanth performed the sleve on my wife and she is down 25 pounds since she started. We selected Dr. Srikanth due to his experience and program which doesn't stop after the surgery. Post op he and his team meet with you to make sure you are getting all of the nutrition your body needs and his patients meet once a month to share whats been working for them and what's not. If you have done all of the diets and still are struggling with health conditions due to obesity, I would highly recommend Dr. Srikanth and his team at the center for weight loss surgery in the Pacific Northwest.

On my way home. Slight discomfort. But will be worth it!

With my surgery date getting closer, can someone/anyone post an uplifting experience through their process. There are few and far between amongst all the posts.
Cheers!

Just left my first post op. All is good and down 14 lbs jennyw

My surgery is set for tomorrow and though I have been fine with the idea of it for so long I suddenly feel terrified. It's good to see people who have already come through it in good spirits here.

I'm on my 4th day post op and the small scars they left look like little cuts that's healing!! The hospital stay was good they had me there for one night and that's all really you need! They had me on bed rest for the night and in the morning they had me walk down the hall a few times and use the bathroom on my own!! They then did an X-ray to see if I had any leaks which I did not! Then they brought me my first meal which was broth, Jello, Water, tea and ice chips! The hardest part of the whole thing was the dry mouth, it was horrible. Lol!! Today I'm up and around like nothing happened. Just had some vegetable broth and got full off of a few sips!! Not feeling hungry at all! Was 247pds two weeks ago and my scales just said 225pds and I feel more energized and healthy!! Good luck to all having the procedure, it's going to change your life. For the best.

I do recommend him. He's very thorough and a nice man. His staff have been great too. I was in the hospital one night.

Hi. I just was sleeved on 31MAY and am so happy I did this. I live on west hill of auburn near federal way and my doc was dr. Srikanth at center for weight loss surgery fed way. I have heard fabulous things about Franciscan weight loss surgeons too! Best wishes!
