Same problem here

Any seniors over 65 sleevers ?
Had surgery Wed,yesterday pretty rough,better today I think except got bad headache. Nausea not as bad, trying hard with liquids today. Am very tired but slept very little in hospital. Walked a lot trying to get rid of gas. Dr. Hanna and North Vista treated me like a queen. Encouraged my husband to stay,brought him meals,had a bed for him by mine. I could not have been treated better. Sent me home with samples,get well card signed by my nurses and bear to hold while coughing. Hospital said they would call and check on me today.

January surgeries?!
Is there sugar in v8 fusion. I have v8 but was told not to drink. Kinda disappointed because I do like it. My surgeon said watered down shakes 2nd day but think it depends on each individual and surgeon. Guess I will wait and see how sick am feeling.

JAN sleevers
Wow that’s close. Just got my surgery date yesterday . See surgeon the 8th. On 2 shakes a day and 1 meal till then. How long were you required to do all liquid diet? Humana makes me stay overnite. I go to North Vista. I had a friend that had your Dr and she raves about her care. Sounds like your in good hands. Keep me posted. Saw on my orders surgeon uses tap block (shot in abdomen) for pain. Have heard horror stories from some here but my Dr says not the norm. Highly recommended surgery.
