FAT TWO FABULOUS

My Dr specifically told me the reason Sleevers have GERD is our bodies are still producing acid for a full sized stomach. not the size we have now and it takes it months to catch up.

Thanks that helped me out alot

I understand. I was the same way. There was no calming me down in the 2 weeks or so leading up to surgery. Just do the best to relax as much as you can. Before you know it, you'll be on the other side.

Thanks alot my husband told me I was beating myself up for know reason he told me to relax I've be trying but I can't keep calm

It isn't nearly as bad as you are likely making it out to be in your mind. I did the same thing, and I was blown away at how much easier it was than I thought it was going to be.

Thank you everyone can't believe I'm finally on the other side

I'll be having surgery march 27th

Hey there! You are more than welcome to buddy up with me! Feel free to write me. My surgery is 3/28 so I will be a little ahead of you to tell you the day by day

Starting my pre-op diet tomorrow! It's just high protein/low carb so it's not too bad. Just need to pick up some veggies and meats tomorrow and I'm good to go 16 days to go! I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS REALLY HAPPENING!

Mind if I join you guys. I was suppose to have my surgery on April 18th, but they called me today and said they had an opening on March 20th, so only 13 days away. Went to the insurance company straight away, and got approved then and there. I'm so nervous, but mostly exciting.

Hi!!! I am pre-op with a March 28th surgery date (My sister's birthday)!!!

I need support

You got this girl! I know the thought of changing your life forever is definitely scary but just know your changing your life forever for the better! Your going to be healthy and feel a whole lot better in a few weeks from now. Stay strong! You got this.

Will do

Before surgery my doctor said I have to remove all mine so they can properly manage my oxygen level

Obviously depends on the hospitals advice then... some don't mind and some do

Its not only the o2 monitoring its the fact that nail polish and tips and those things can harbour bacteria... No matter how much you clean them they arnt ever really clean... So some places wont let you do to the risk of infection... Trust me if you ever seen a staph infection in a surgical wound you'd understand where they're coming from. Where i work anything on your nails is completely banned, its simply not worth the risk to the patients or the risk to bring something home.

Depending on the nail polish or false nails, the oximetre won't pick up your oxygen saturation. I'm a nurse and most of the time it works fine, even with nails, but sometimes it won't pick up and it's a pain in the arse to have to deal with that as they are trying to get you set up for surgery.

I was told the same thing before my surgery. End up doing my nails all but one for them to do the oxygen level for surgery.
