I'm very nervous about my Sleeve surgery coming up Aug 9. Yikes!!! I am so excited at the same time, I can't wait to give all my clothes away, and buy new ones [emoji1] Sent from my LGMS550 using BariatricPal mobile app

I read ozzing was normal. It doesn't look infected to me. I wouldn't freak out and go to ER but I would follow up with Surgeon next day Sent from my LGMS550 using BariatricPal mobile app

I am glad the leak is fixed. Sorry for your pain and living out my fear of a leak. We all go in knowing it could happen, but hoping and praying it doesn't. Best wishes for a speedy recovery Sent from my LGMS550 using BariatricPal mobile app

This is what I am going to do as well. Sent from my LGMS550 using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm at 34, getting sleeved on Aug 9. I am also recently diagnosed with diabetes and borderline high cholesterol, which is why I am having this surgery. People are not always going to understand and it is a personal decision. I'm telling very few people. Sent from my LGMS550 using BariatricPal mobile app

I got lucky, I don't have to do the preop diet till 2days before. My bmi is low 34 so they didnt want me to lose too much prior to the surgery. Sent from my LGMS550 using BariatricPal mobile app

Horror story that someone died after getting the excess skin removed. I dont need to hear stuff like that! Its scary enough. I'm trying to save my life Sent from my LGMS550 using BariatricPal mobile app

Also, it was a package deal, 2 night stay in the hospital with a very good surgeon. Sent from my LGMS550 using BariatricPal mobile app

I paid cash/credit. I was turned down from insurance for a bmi of 34. It will be 1 month from start to surgery. Sent from my LGMS550 using BariatricPal mobile app

Look at coffee mate regular. I T says zero sugars, yet the 1st ingredient is solid corn syrup. Drops me and I tested it with a glucometer Sent from my LGMS550 using BariatricPal mobile app

Your body is going through a lot and 36lbs is a lot of weight to lose 2 months later. Give it some time, it has to come off, your not eating hardly Sent from my LGMS550 using BariatricPal mobile app

High bp is another qualifying factor. Sent from my LGMS550 using BariatricPal mobile app

I didnt qualify because even though I have diabetes, arthritis, high blood pressure, my bmi is under 35, its 34, so I just paid for it myself. $18,000 gastric sleeve surgery date Aug 9 Sent from my LGMS550 using BariatricPal mobile app

Usually you need 2 health issues that fall into the categories of Heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, sleep apnea if your bmi is below 40. Sent from my LGMS550 using BariatricPal mobile app

My Dr said it was up to me. I am taking 8 weeks Sent from my LGMS550 using BariatricPal mobile app

August 9th is my surgery date. Yikes I am so nervous and scared, but really excited Sent from my LGMS550 using BariatricPal mobile app

Did you end up finding anything out? Prayers Sent from my LGMS550 using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm getting really close. August will be the month. Wed I have my doctor appointment for clearance and my mental health check. I'm cash paying so I dont have to wait on insurance approval. I'm glad I could offer some relief. It will be OK, were all in this together. Doctors have other options for infections so I wouldn't stress too much. Just trust your Surgeon and listen to your body. Early findings are very treatable even in the rarest of complications. Sent from my LGMS550 using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm preop stage and I take 137 MCG of levothyroxin. I knew there would be adjustments made as the weight comes off, but this is good stuff to know. Follow up with your primary for all your general health labs. Especially thyroid, potassium and other very important levels that can be thrown off by dehydration and can be life threatening. I work at a hospital in the lab so I see it alot Sent from my LGMS550 using BariatricPal mobile app

You may be dehydrated or something like your kidneys are not filtering correctly Sent from my LGMS550 using BariatricPal mobile app
