    Okay question, I had to have a upper GI done today, I did drink a Protein shake and was sipping Water prior to the test, up to 15 minutes before the test. When the test was done I got to see the images of my upper chest and stomach, is it normal that my stomach looked the size of my fist?? I also had to drink this really thick liquid for the test and during like a lot of of it, would that also affect how my stomach looked?

    I just wanted to wish everyone who are having the sleeve done GOOD LUCK. I just had my on the 15th and I already know that this is one of the best decision that I have made for myself. Let me be quite honest the first day after surgery is a rough one, but by the 2nd day it gets better, and by the 3rd well your headed home. Just remember why you choose to do this, to begin with that helped me a lot . Any questions I'm here and will share what I have been through thus far .

    My surgery is July 26th. I am 2 days into my liquid diet. I have been so excited, but I am now starting to freak out. I'm a nervous person anyway, but now I am asking myself all of the questions and what ifs. I am terrified of the actual surgery and even more scared of making all the right decisions after. Any other worry warts out there and what are you doing?

    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.

    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.

    My surgery is tomorrow morning, I'm really nervous about this, I need something to calm my nerves. Any suggestions to help me would be greatly appreciated.

    I go tomorrow as well and would be lying if I didn't say I was nervous. No problem with the liquid diet today since I don't even want to think about anything going in my mouth. Looking at everyone's post-op post this is completely normal and just some anticipation anxiety. Think of it this way, this time next week you'll be well into recovery. Best of luck and prayers for everyone going tomorrow.

    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.
