I went in for sleeve surgery on August 29. Woke up in ICU. They couldn’t complete surgery. Said that I might have a tear in my esophagus. After 2 CT scans and having an ENT doc put a camera down my throat they still weren’t sure if it was a tear or just tissue. I have a small mouth and throat. Wondering if it was tore, did they do that during intubation? Going back Sept 23 to have surgery finished. Needless to say I’m nervous this time around. Have a had tubes hanging out of my stomach since last attempt at the surgery. Has anyone else ever heard of this happening?

Pudge.vsg. I’m the 29th also. Today is day 7 of 10 for the 10 day diet. Yesterday was my worst day. You was crabby and wanting real food. We can do this!!! Thursday will be here before we know it! And we will only get healthier from there!!!

My date is the 29th and I feel you completely on the Pre-op diet. I have never felt sicker or more exhausted in my life.

I'm almost 10 months out.
I was a water chugger before wls and still am. I did sip for the first 1-2 weeks after surgery, but by week 2 I found I was able to chug away. I probably even drink more now than I did before.
The one difference between now and then is that all that water before made me feel like I was going to the washroom every 30 mins (every couple hours at night!). Now, I go like a normal person. Weird.
P.S. I know some my disapprove, but my water of choice is of the sparkling kind. I go through cases of it...I really should invest in a soda stream or something...

Hello Everyone. I'm a newbie but on my way to gastric sleeve surgery 8/29/19. I just turned 60 and gave this surgery to myself as a gift. I know it's one of many tools and I'll have to really put the work in. I'm thankful for this site and forums to touch base with others who know how I feel. Best wishes to all on this journey. I'm sure I will be asking many questions.

Wow. I’m going in August 29. No idea on cost but I hope it’s closer to the $20,000 area.
