Had my sleeve at cooper Camden in south jersey on 2-23-17

Hello, I had my surgery 2-23-17 at cooper in Camden

Woo! So lucky! I find out today when I can have some eggs!

That's awesome you get to start puréed foods so soon! I'm on full liquids right now

What really really helped me was a body pillow in my bed completely around me as if I'm laying on a recliner. It's a big U shaped pillow that pregnant woman use for the most part. That has made sleeping so much better for me. I think mine was like $29 on Amazon but you could get one anywhere

I'm feeling pretty good! I've been sleeping a lot better at home than I did in the hospital. No nausea, just pain in my stomach when I get up from sitting or laying down. Only been talking Tylenol 3 & Prilosec since I've been home bc that was what I was sent home with. Which surgery did you have? I had the sleeve. The only day I thought I may have regretted my decision was on Friday bc I was in so much pain and so nauseous. I'm very happy I made the decision today. I also start full liquids today!

Feb 23rd here also!

It took like 2 more months after my sleep study. My sleep study was a couple days after Christmas. It took like 2 weeks for those results. Then after I was done doing all the testing on the sheets she said there was a second round of testing which included another nutritionist appointment, psych evual & meet with the anesthesiologist. They were super least minute on giving me those dates, they told me Saturday that I have a 2 hour appointment today. They said they go but surgery date order for the scheduling of these last appointments. It might have took longer for me though bc I had my upper GI after sleep apnea Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

With cooper I didn't have to go to a seminar I just made an appointment with my doctor. I started the process in September, the whole process was about 5 months. There was a bunch of required testing, ekg, echocardiogram, pulmonary functions test, sleep apnea test, my insurance required 3 months dietician, abdominal ultrasound, upper GI, psych evual, & meet with the anesthesiologist. Tomorrow I find out when I start the liquid diet for surgery Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
