It’s sunday night and I just went to the store and purchased my Jell-O broth crystal light sugar free ice pops etc. moving forward. My emotions are all over the place. Worried about my GERD. There are so many on the boards with post op nausea and vomiting. Hope I won’t be suffering with that as well. Trying to think positively.

Hi Heather. I’ll look into the chin straps. Yes. The mask makes my face raw as well. I just hate using the darn thing completely.

July 10th new york

My surgery is Tuesday. Thanks for posting these lists. Wasn’t sure what I should bring. Good luck to everyone with surgeries on the horizon!

Yes! I know. I keep thinking about months from now - how I will feel. Trying to keep focused on that when my emotions get the best of me. I start my clear liquids tomorrow. Thanks for the response!

I’ll call and discuss with my surgeon tomorrow. Thanks for the advice.

My heartburn is controlled perfectly with the Pepcid. Do you think it might remain controlled if I stay on it?

I do not have a hernia.

Hi there. Okay so what helps.....

Soph thank you. I’ll have to speak with my doctor.

Hi there. Best of luck to you. I’m nervous also.

Hi there! September will be here before you know it! Are you nervous at all? I was so anxious and nervous this am I was thinking of backing out but I’m confident now after speaking with people on these boards that all will be ok.

Hi there. I have a full face mask and am a mouth breather. Respiratory therapist told me there are no other options as the others go over your nose and you must keep your mouth closed to use them. I’ll bring the mask but I’m hoping maybe they can just give me some oxygen or something instead of my having to wear the mask. Thanks for the reply.

Hi all. I posted earlier I am getting sleeved this Tuesday and was having serious second thoughts. These boards have been a blessing because I have the confidence now to move forward thanks to some great advice and reading about the good experiences people have had and are having with this surgery and life after. Wondering who else is getting sleeved this week and maybe would like a buddy to talk to?

I am scheduled for sleeve on the 10th. I take Pepcid twice a day right now for gerd. Should I expect it to get worse?

That’s fantastic! Hope I feel that well after my surgery on the tenth. Keep it up!

My surgery is scheduled for the 10th. Been on pre Surg diet of two shakes and one protein rich meal for two weeks pre op and clears day before.

Thanks for the reply. I’ll havw to speak with my doctor about the Xtended release med I’m on.

Thank you for the replies. I was told to bring the machine so I will. Uggh.

Thanks orchids.

Hi all. Having sleeve done Tuesday. I have moderate sleep apnea. Hate the cpap. Very claustrophobic. Don’t wear it all the time. Does anyone here have sleep apnea and had to bring cpap to hospital day of surgery?

I work from home as an RN who does insurance reviews. I sit all day and am on the computer. I took two full weeks off. Hope that’s enough.

July 10th as well!

One of them is extended release. I am praying to not need my bp med anymore.

Hi all. Scheduled for surgery (sleeve) on the 10th. How will I take my blood pressure and anxiety medication pills after surgery?
