I am. Except my mom but the rest yes.

My surgeon does an ab pain block similar to an epidural where you feel nothing for hours. Like when you go to the dentist and the object you and block the pain? So they told me they don't really give pain meds the day you're In For surgery has anyone else experienced that?

I'm not crazy about it being out patient. But every one is except gastric bypass with these doctors.

Hi again, my deal will be outpatient. I go in one week from today at 5am then I go home sometime towards the end of day. I am curious what pain meds were you given while at the facility? Where they via an IV? I'm having a hiatal hernia surgery at same time and I'm not very tough. I'm worried about them controlling the pain?!

Thank you everyone! I just wanted to know I could have a sip just a sip now and then when the time comes. I have gone 5 days without carbonation or a Coke or sugar and I could almost die for a big Coke right now lol

@sleevedshereenthank you that's actually helpful info.

How long before you can have sex again? My doc says whenever I feel up to it, what did you guys experience? If you don't mind me prying lol

Ok this is new to me @Introversion @fruitandveggies @OutsideMatchInside @jess9395 Did all of halls taste buds change? I'm getting a feel that you can take drinks here and there but even if you were an addict before, that you have zero interest now? Can you tell me how much you find that the case? That you find you're disinterested in a drink/food??

Have you had even a sip of something carbonated? I've heard both and I know you aren't "supposed" to but there's a lot you're not "supposed" to do but I hear of people doing it. I simply want to know if you have & did you regret it?

For pain not if this severe in nature Vicodin. But Vicodin isn't gonna put a dent in what I can only imagine compares to a Csection.

I asked yesterday how bad did the sleeve REALLY hurt and got great answers. I forgot to mention I have to have a hiatal hernia repaired. Bound to be a game changer?!

Thank you! That is good info. I've had liquid hudrocodone before and I don't think I could hah it down again!! What was your pain medication?

Oh. Ok. I did it. Wow that's awesome. When you say pushed the button what button? Do they give you a pain pump?

I don't know how to quote so y'all know who I'm replying to!

Hummm. Wow. I watched my late husband recover from triple bypass and he slept in the recliner for 6 weeks and sneezing or coughing was murder. I'm sensing somewhere between that and the Csection pain. Which is DEFINITELY gonna hurt!!!!

It does!! I had a C-section and omg I thought I was going to seriously die. I was on hands and knees trying to get to the bathroom even for weeks!!!! I seriously couldn't imagine how painful it would be!!! But good to know after a week you felt that much better!

@Mhy12784what procedure are you having? You said "if you were having a sleeve gastronomy.." if that different from the sleeve?

I know we all gauge pain differently so it's a semi tough question, but I guess I'm asking, what you had sort of imagined mentally vs. the real pain, how did it compare??

@Mhy12784point taken . I admittedly knew nothing of bariatric surgery until July 26. I have noticed however that none of these people have dealt with being overweight and the CONSTANT day to day battle we go through or at least me as for battles. And my thoughts keep going from excited to doubtful back and forth!!! I seriously don't see how I could spend my life wanting to be thinner and trying to be, and get this far!!, w/insurance paying 100%, & not go through with it I would be so mad at myself!

Yay someone who makes me feel better lol I did ask nutrition today if it was ok if I didn't necessarily eat what they say I had to every day pre-op but not eat something NOT allowed and was told yes so I'm thankful for that! Good luck tomorrow ! Mine is a week from Thursday so I'll be eager to hear how you feel etc.

I know what you mean I have been 2nd guessing this for a week now. Surgery is next Thursday. But I DO know that I'm ready to eat to live and not live to eat. I'm ok with bites and tastes of my favorites it doesn't have to be a meal. I AM worried about water tho. I too don't like that I can't swim until next summer. But guess what? We gonna look HOT NEXT SUMMER!!!

Glad you wrote ! So you had a bad headache from not giving up caffeine? No one told me to quit caffeine I know caffeine withdraws give headaches. So a year out, can you tell me is there anything you maybe take a bite of or sip of that you thought you never would be able to again?

Man you are so right. Thank you for that.

I have, on my own, not because of liquid diet or anything, dropped about 30 lbs in 3 months. I'm wearing my size 14/16's. I'm starting to wonder if I should go through with this now. I'm thrilled to be wearing this size and my goal is a 12. I just can't help but wonder if this is going to be a mistake like every single person in my life is telling me it is.
