The first 24 hours were awful! Hacking, Nausea almost vomited but nothing came out because my stomach was empty. Left the Hosp, felt amazing. Then I had a low grade fever 99.8. I had the tremors in the evening, turns out I may have caught a virus while in the Hosp, which doesn’t shock me, but I began to shake all over. It was dehydration. I did it realize I didn’t drink enough Water. It was suggested I sip H2O all day/night. However, even with all that, I’m happy I had the sleeve!

I had vsg 4/4 and my first 24hrs of recovery was miserable! The nausea and dry heaving were horrible and i couldnt get comfortable. I am now 5 days post op and things are much better. Just a little sore and tender. Biggest struggle now is getting Protein in[emoji21]🤢 which makes me want to vomit. Good luck and congrats!

I'm jumping in here now as I just got my date today! 2 May 2018 is my surgery date, and have started my pre-op phase immediately as they would ideally have liked me on the pre-op diet for 4 weeks with my BMI so close to 50.

Kids will be back at school that week after the 2 week term holiday, and hubby will be taking a week and a half off to manage the kidlets (6 & 9 years) while I'm in hospital and my first few days at home.

Any other Aussies in here? I'm in Adelaide and going with Dr Michael France at Ashford Specialist Centre.

I am so crazy excited, and glad I'm not having to jump through insurance hoops and lengthy delays like so many US sleevers.

I will have to stick with just lean meats and veggies today and tomorrow until my formulite Meal Replacements arrive by post (can't have Optifast as aspartame and other artificial sweeteners trigger nasty Migraines for me), then 2 shakes and one lean meat & veg meal a day until 2 days before surgery, only shakes the last day before surgery.
