Nice to see you’re up like me. Can’t sleep. Only 4 hours until I have to be at the hospital.

Its 3:00 am and I am up and ready to roll! And a wee bit thirsty, which happens with CPAP. Imagine it will be worse later . Not as nervous as last night. Thanks for letting me vent :-)

March 19 only 5 days until my surgery

I’m in pompano as well. Who did your sleeve and how are you feeling?

Yes I was sleeved march 9 with dr Szomstein at Cleveland clinic in Weston FL. It’s about a 25 minute drive. The Bariatric team is awesome. I was treated so well during my hospital stay. I highly recommend them. They definitely live up to their stellar reputation. Over all I feel fine . Just a little sore where they removed the stomach. On surgery day they gave me Tylenol and nausea meds prior to surgery. That really helped bc when i woke up. I didn’t have any pain just tightness in my abdomen. I didn’t have any gas pain either. I have not had any issues swallowing or vomiting. Extremely smooth recovery.

5:30 AM, baby, that's when I report for surgery -- woohoo! I am a jumble of nerves, excitement, and impatience, because mostly, I just want this done so I can start the next phase of my life.

Well nobody asked me but I think I might help someone. Just some quick bullet points.
- Day 1 and 2 prepare to be THIRSTY. Icechips are a joke but they will be your friend for now. You will think you are hungry but that's just your stomach enzymes acting up. You can only sleep on your back. You will be irritable, but it WILL PASS.
- Day 3 and 4 you will be able to get more liquids in. I was going on 500 MLs which was exciting. You can slightly sleep on your sides now.You will hate the smell of food and even seeing it. However you will cherish your Jello, clear Soup, and tea. You need to train your mind and hand to put down the spoon between sips of "food" Use a timer. You will walk muuuch better too. A good way to relieve gas/belching - peppermint oil in water! Helped me SO MUCH. 3-4 drops in Water, miracles happen!
-Day 5-7, now this is when you start to feel much better pain wise. You can do a 360 (slowly!) turning in your bed. Belching and gas goes down a hundredfold. You have internalized your "timing" for sips, like a champ I say. You are drinking 1-2L/day now. You will be fatigued a lot. Make sure to find a way to get electrolytes in your water. Also BUY A CLEAR Protein DRINK! Save your life! Half of it with the other half water. Constipation issues arise - BENEFIBER, trust me on this. Food/smells actually don't make you wanna hurl anymore. Watching food videos is a pleasure - you see the horizon of puree stage coming up next week! Go for a real walk on Day 6 or 7, it will be a PLEASURE.
ANYONE WANNA ADD MORE to help our future March '18 Sleeve Army?

i was sleeved march 6. i have the opposite problem. runny poo here

Hi everyone Had my surgery on 3-7-18. Getting used to all the new “things” like swallowing, finding out the new baseline when you are full, and how different liquids react with the new stomach... I feel like all I do is sip on liquids all day long. However, everyday it gets better and better... less pain, less gas and able to sleep on my sides now.

Getting Sleeved tomorrow March 5th! I live in Japan 🇯🇵 but am from Toronto Canada 🍁 So psyched, scared, hyped, petrified and strangely... calm. Check out my channel on YT with the same handle! Good luck everyone!
