Hey everybody, I had my surgery on Tuesday the 9th and I’m doing pretty well. Only had two small bouts of nausea but never threw up. I’m doing fine with warm liquids like chicken broth. That doesn’t seem to cause any esophageal spasming I was having in the hospital with cold liquids. So I’m sticking to warmer or room temp liquids. I’ve been up walking a lot and haven’t had much of the problem with the gas. Feeling pretty good but just tired. Hope everyone is doing well!💕

Surgery

Surgery was on the 8th. At home now. No complications. It only hurts a little at the incion sites. Im managing with meds. No having any problems swallowing or holing food except that mess they make you swallow to see if have any leaking. I threw that mess up quick! Minimal gas pains on day one but once I started walking, that subsided for the most part. The only complaibt I have is that everything tastes sweet including Water. Anybody else have that issue?

Feb 9! I been on a week liquid diet!

So, my Sleeve surgery was 9:45 am on 2/2/2021. Between the pre-op diet that I started 3 days early on 1/23 and this morning, I have lost 9 lbs.! Even having not pooped and holding fluid/swelling, I am down 3.6 lbs since Tuesday, 2/2. I am definitely hopeful that I will finally be able to reach a healthy weight for the first time in decades!! Best of luck to all of you, too!

Congrats on your surgery date!! It’s a life changer for sure...in a great way!!

Hi everyone. I am new to this site & forum. My surgery is scheduled for Feb 8th! I started this process back in February of 2020 as far as meeting eligibility requirements. I’ve had my surgery rescheduled multiple times due to moving to another state and COVID. Hopefully no more changes! I am so excited to be going through this process and even more happy that I found this site and get to go through it with you guys!

Ready as I'm going to be I guess. I had no pre-surgery diet to do. No colon cleanse. Been trying to be good this week while also eating all my favorites that I may miss in the near future. I know the thing I will miss most is my wine. The thing I won't miss most is hating my reflection when I look in the mirror. I started packing my bag but it's only 1 night (god willing) so I shouldn't need much.

My sleeve surgery went really well! My surgeon said it only took him about an hour. He’d told me it could be up to three. I had a hiatal hernia that he took care of. That probably explains my occasional reflux. He also took a liver biopsy because I’d been diagnosed with a fatty liver. Biopsy is Just so we can tell how much it had progressed. The worst part was waking up with shoulder/chest pain from the gas. Heating pads and walking helped. I’ve been able to slowly sip some Water and Protein water. The hospital broth and Jello was yucky and I didn’t eat them. slept horribly at the hospital though, so I’m headed to bed now. Will check in later.

Feb. 3 after being postponed from November due to COVID. liquid diet starts Wednesday and I keep flip-flopping between being emotional/crying to absolutely psyched and ready! (I'm a LOT of fun to live with right now, lol)

Finally cleared for surgery on Feb 24th.
Had issue with insurance auth- had to call and get it straightened out.
Had to get a chest X-ray since I had Covid in December
The standard pre -op EKG was abnormal, so I needed a stress echo which was abnormal and then had to have a cardiac catheterization. Finally got clearance after that from the Cardiologist yesterday. Had my pre-op appt with surgeon today to review pre-op diet= 1 week liquids/ day before Clear Liquids. Nervous, but ready.

I'm the 8th too
Praying no more snow
