Definitely get it checked out. They gave me some IV nutrition and fluids. My program requires us to have one electrolyte drink a day (12 oz), I'm doing 20 oz of Powerade zero because I feel weird otherwise. The first few weeks I felt a noticeable difference after drinking it, so I had it first thing in the morning daily.

You must be in there by now! Good luck! It’ll all be A-OK

Sounds like you did well! Tolerating fluids this early is a great sign. Hopefully it'll be an easy recovery.

I’m in my bed and waiting to talk to the anesthesiologist before they wheel me to surgery. Woke up with a splitting headache feeling dehydrated. Can’t wait till they start the IV so I can ask for some meds and Ativan.

And I’m full off two paracetamol tablets. Bon appetit to me !

So I’ve been told “you look great!” By all the nurses and my surgeon lol. I’ll be going home tomorrow thankfully. Tolerating fluids quite easily except now when I overdid it taking my paracetamol pills. Whoops!

And that’s okay - maybe at that time of your life you weren’t ready. Just remember all the reasons why you’ve opted to do the surgery and everything you stand to gain by doing it. You’ve got this! [emoji1377]

Congrats on your surgery! Sounds as if your doing quite well.

And I’m off to the hospital now for VSG! I must admit I’m absolutely terrified and second guessing whether this is the right decision. Having strong thoughts of backing out but I’m sure this is somewhat normal. I came this far!

You will ace it! I was an anxious wreck and they gave me a huge fast acting shot of midazolam that calmed me right down. Just let them know you’re nervous, they’ll take care of you. I’m out the other side and can assure you it’ll be just fine! Good luck !

Well tomorrow’s the big day. After a four week pre-op I have to be at the hospital at 9:00 & surgery at 10:30. A little nervous but ready!

Smores, were there any theories about what caused the leak?
Were you a smoker? Did you take any maintenance pain meds? Did you have H. Pylori bacteria?
Can you give us any other information about the cause?

Congrats to you!!! Hope things go quickly and without complication and you're back posting with us soon!!!

You're gonna do great:) Best wishes for a safe effective procedure and a quick recovery:) Remember to sip sip sip, and walk as soon as you can. You got this:)

Trust your saner self....the self that worked for months to make this surgery happen. The self who is kinda terrified today...is understandably under some stress:)

Thank you so much . This week will absolutely fly for you; before you know it it’ll be the night before and you’ll wonder how fast time went! Wishing you all the best on your journey

Good luck. I hope you have a speed recovery. I'm a week from tomorrow and feel like it's taking forever.

Bring lounge pants or PJ bottoms....it makes walking the halls in your hospital gown a lot less breezy:) Best wishes for a safe effective procedure!

So my surgery is tomorrow 17/1! I’m wracked with nerves right now. Hoping I can get a good night’s sleep and not be up anxious all night .
Any final words of wisdom are most welcome! Will be meeting you all on the loser’s bench soon!

Good luck! Bring an eye mask and earplugs for peaceful sleep if you have them. Expect a lot of waiting tomorrow, especially if you're not first thing - delays are common. You'll do great!

A very big congratulations to you; you put in the hard yards! You look amazing and I’m sure you feel amazing health-wise. Glad things stabilised for you over time. The psychological side of things is always the hardest. Congratulations again! Well done.
