Hello, I'm scheduled for July 26th as well. How are you tolerating the pre-op diet so far?

I'm stressed because my blood sugar has been high...300. I'm now on Humalog and Victoza. Anyone else having trouble?

I was sleeved yesterday July 15. Now home and resting.

Greetings from my hospital room! I am happy to announce that I'm sleeve, rested, and ice chips are my new best friend;). This forum has been a treasure chest of information! The pain when I first woke up was difficult, and by difficult I mean WOW...But the pain meds are marvelous! Walk the first chance you get; pee as soon as you can. Burp, burp, burp!

Hello all! Just had my sleeve yesterday. All went mostly well! I haven't been hungry since waking up so that's a relief! I do have terrible diarrhea (tmi) but at least I'm not on the other end of things. Awaiting my discharge as we speak!!!!!

Oh my goodness. I got nervous just reading your post. Please keep us informed of how it went.

Leaving for the hospital in 30 minutes. So nervous I'm shaking but anxious to be on the other side. Best of luck to those getting sleeves today.

Leaving for the hospital in about 2 hours. Nervous....very nervous. I've been up all night second guessing this decision. Wish I could sleep. That would help this night go by so much faster!

Ok on my way to the hospital

Day 2 of liquid diet in the books [emoji109]????[emoji95]

27th here too!

We are sleeve sisters! Mine is July 26th also. I meet with my surgeon tomorrow to get preop diet, etc. The closer it gets, the more nervous I get! I'm in the same boat as you. On top of it, I've put all these things I want to get done b4 the surgery on my plate (have windows and carpets washed, house clean, laundry done, etc.) I know realistically what gets done gets done and what doesnt is no big deal. The fear of the unkown is what we have right now and there's nothing we can do about it till we are going through it. (Except ask lots of questions, watch youtube vids of other people's experiences and read) We will be fine, and we will take it one hour/day at a time. Everyone who's had it done has said its the best thing they've ever done for themselves. Sent from my VS990 using the BariatricPal App

I totally agree with you, same here I'm up cleaning my house and washing clothes, do meal prep for my son. Just trying to be prepared for I guess whatever comes after the surgery. I will definitely keep posting on what I go through. Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App

Had a weak moment the past couple of days, telling myself I should eat one last big takeout while I could. I didn't do it, however being on this pre-op and having to say no to that voice really highlights my food addiction. It's like an addict wanting another fix. I'm seeing results from the pre-op which has helped me stay strong. And it's good to know I can hear that voice and talk myself out of it. Here's hoping I get stronger at saying no as the journey progresses.
And to those with nerves, I hear ya!

UGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!
THIS SUCKS!!!!!!
I had VSG done Wed. July 13th @@Kaiser Richmond and I have had so much pain from the anesthesia gas and I've been walking like crazy. Dilottit every hr, with zofran for nausea. Its worth it for sure, but it sure has been difficult to get this gas out of my chest. Plus it took me forever to go pee for the first time!!!!! Aweful. I feel a bit better today, possibly from all the walking. But its hard to drink since my throat Is sooooo sore from the breathing tube.
Sorry to sound like a whining baby, lol, I know it's what I signed up for, just wanted to tell everyone how my experience is.

I had my pre-op testing yesterday, and the anesthesiologist told me they give you a "cocktail" to relax you when you get there, hopefully yours will be the same

Better today but yesterday was rough. I had never had surgery before in life. My family has helped to calm me and keep me on schedule with sipping and walking.

My prayers are with you. I am only 3 days out, the first day I was so mad at myself for doing this to myself because I was in so much pain. But it is getting better everyday! Keep us posted on how you feel.
