Glad you are home but Whoaaa on 12 hrs to control nausea. I know some nausea meds dont work for me. I have my surgery August 14th. I hear taking the meds get easier fairly quick. Keep us informed of your healing journey.

@Ylime, Prayers and hugs to you and your family. We will be here for you, almost surgery buddy. Its almost here. BIG HUGS

I am now August 14th. My surgery just got moved back from July . SURGEON had a conflict. I have already have some Protein. Need to get a little more. Hope we can all get through it together.

Wishing you the best today and a speedy recovery.

If your following the plan given to you than how could you not do it right. Follow it and dont over think it. Everyones plan is different.

Call and ask your surgery team if your worried. My guess you will find out when you finish diet in Sept as long as all requirements are finished . Welcome, we have similar stats with height and BMI. I have comorbidities too and they found more as we went a long, lol. I have 20 more days until my surgery. I started the process mid Feb and finished in June. I am almost there. Good luck

We will be thinking of you. My condolences to your family

Hello, yall
Found out today I am also a July sleever. Scheduled for July 24th. My surgeons only concern was my anxiety. Understanding I am on a military base and they can see all your records and meds going back years. So he wrote me a script to take daily. And I will do so. I love love my surgeon. He gives out his cell number and actually answers. Hahaha. I am beyond excited. The count down is on. And no preop diet. Looking for a surgery buddy!!!!

Just wrapping up day 3 post-op here! Managing pain with just Tylenol and Ibuprofen, and fluids are easier to get down everyday! Walked over a mile yesterday and today! So thankful to have a wonderful support system at home- and reading all of your experiences helps big time! Virtual high fives to you all!!

Not long after writing this they called and rescheduled my surgery date to Aug. 14th. A real bummer

Well its the 18th and I would of called someone or went to the office long ago. AND what is she going to tell on.... that you smoked 2 yrs ago.. confused

Thank you Kat0000 and Gingersnap112, odd Gingersnaps was one of my son's programs. Think he may have had a wee crush on Emily Perkins. At any rate it,is wonderful,to know I have 2 nice friends following me. It was a very,nice exam etc I had today,with Dr Needleman. He is as nice as I hoped he would be, he was amazed at how much I knew already, actually didn't learn as much as some because I am so,prepared but did glean some information to fill in the gaps Every challenge he presented, I believe I can accomplish. I really,feel like we are a team willing to work for me.
Yeah he is a very busy guy, but he has this way of making each of us feel we are the most important patient in the 🌎to him. That's not,something easily taught, it comes from within.
He's maybe 49-50 years old, getting gray a little, but cares and is approachable tous. Much better person than that first Asswhat surgeon I met at the previous place. And I feel very safe in his care. He was reading the whole list of bad things that can happen and I'm shaking my head NO. He asked me why, I told him nothing bad would happen, he is too good a surgeon, he would not want to mess up his record and my whole day by a calamity.
Oh some of the things I have heard on Bariatric Pal are so funny, one woman was worried she would talk about ex-husbands and lovers while under anesthesia. Don't know if I helped when I told her she would have a breathing tube down her throat and couldn't say a word. Another was concerned about people who. might see her unclothed. Pish tosh, good ole Frust8 is going to be lying,on her back, arms secured so I don't slip off the table, belly pumped up so high I look like I'm expected octuplets and I should whether,people know the shade of every hair, on my body? Ask me , I'm 72, people who knew secrets about me are long gone. Got little if any shame in my game, yeah I'm a redhead all over,what does it matter if 8 to 10 more people know that? Unless the TV crews have a wide angle lens they can't get all of me in one picture! Yesterday someone was worried they didn't have an hourglass figure , shoot,i do, instead of 36-25-36 I'm 58-46-58 and my thighs are like bundt cakes instead of muffins, but I believe I'll renovate well,once I peel off my fat covering I am going to be dy-no-mite and really rock the senior set. Might take a year, might take 18 months, but I will be Cutie Pie reconditioned from Big Mama. Big project but i,am the woman for it!😝🍀❤

Thanks Kat0000 for your kind words , made me feel a lil better , I will just keep my eye on the Prize 🌸

You need to contact someone. I dont understand why they release someone and your pain is not under control. Are you able to drink?

Best wishes. Let us know how you are doing and your experience from the surgery.

As promised!!!

Congratulations on your surgery date. I was sure you would be at least August. Guess your surgeon is super busy like mine.

I will find out my surgery date next week. It will be end of July or early August. 1st Pre op appt next Thursday with Dr Blair in Fort Stewart, Georgia. Excited to find out.

Congratulations, Its a thrill to finally have a date of surgery. I started the process in mid Feb and will be sleeved on Aug 14th. I still have to do Admissions at the hospital and a preop appt but not to closer to date.

Yay because i need all the support. I am a military wife, older one. Bought a house here but have not made friends. So this would be great.

Welcome btw and I've added your date to our member list!
