I’m 8 days post op sleeve. Bowel movements are small but black!! Anyone relate? Thoughts?

I looked at the label and each tablet has 45 mg of iron. So I’m taking 90 mg a day.....

I’m on the Bariatric Multi Vitamin (2x day) and calcium nitrate (3x day). Is that the iron you’re asking about??

I have my post op on Tuesday; which is 12 days post op. Hoping it clears up before that. LOL SO ready to eat some regular food. Although I don’t know how I will considering I always SO full. [emoji4]

No Pepto. I believe it’s digested blood from surgery, but wanted to get peeps opinion how long it would last. Maybe I’ll get some miralax and try to move things along! Thx

Have to be at the hospital at 9:00 am tomorrow. Surgery scheduled for 11:15! Here’s how I’m feeling... • Extremely nervous • Scared • Excited Once on the other side, I’ll check back in as soon as I can. [emoji177][emoji177]

All done. Going home from hospital tomorrow. Not too many gas pains but did get sick today. About 1/2 hr after swallow test. Doc said I just had too much in there. Been walking a lot today. Ready to go home and start my new life.

Good luck to you too @it’sonlythefirststep

Surgery postponed from tomorrow to Thursday due to impending snow storm here in North East. [emoji17] Great another day to stress.

I have surgery on a Wednesday! Nerves are settling in! I’ve been preparing meals this weekend for my family so they will be set up for a few days while I’m healing/recovering.

You got this! One week isn't bad! I'm having mine in New Jersey. You?

We’ll have to stay in touch!! Liquid diet going well. I’m used to it now. Hardest days are on the weekend when I’m home. Good luck to u on the 21st. [emoji4]

Thanks so much for the play-by-play! Definitely good to read how things could go. Hope your recovery continues to go well.

Anyone out there scheduled for ma ch 21st? My preop diet starts tomorrow.

That's INSANE!!! Why would someone tell you that!!!

Ok. I just had my appointment with my surgeon to go over everything and sign consents (surgery is scheduled for March 21st). Current state of mind: "Am I doing the right thing...." "What if something happens on the table......." "What if something happens afterwards and I'm really sick...." "Is this worry a higher power sending me a sign that I shouldn't do this......." I'm out of my mind with worry............

Hi!! I'm new here!! I'm scheduled for March 21st! I'm terrified that something will go wrong!!! Help.....
