Hi - I am new to the site. My sleeve surgery is scheduled for March 10th. Anyone else here set for March? I am super anxious but also looking forward to it. I had a lap band in 2009 and a slip in 2014 that required removal. Curious as to what your pre-op diet looks like. I am on partial liquids now and full liquids for two weeks before the surgery.
Nice to meet everyone!

Done 15th March [emoji7] how's going your post op?

I'm so glad and happy, after 4 years I finally did it! I thought it was so much painful, since I wake up from surgery I haven't nausea or vomiting, little bit annoying the tube frome the stomach. I'm from Italy and in my country I wasn't too fat for sleeve passed by national health care, so I found I private clinic in Carthage and after a long trip I did it! I'm so happy, this is my reborn.

I have a question!

Tomorrow I've to take the plane to return in Italy, it's only 50min and then 6 hours of train, I'm with my mom and she's a nurse so I'm relaxed about assistance but I'm worried about weakness.

Someone have done a long trip to return home after surgery?

Thanks to everyone! And excuse my English

So I have an incredibly controversial and rather personal question for the lovely people of BariatricPal. I’ll be upfront, I’m a 20 year old guy in college so pre-op I was a party animal. My question doesn’t relate to alcohol but to illicit-drug use.. I understand this is a super touchy subject but is there anyone that would be willing to share how they get felt or reacted to the use of illicit drugs (molly, snow, bars etc.)

Hi! I've been operated 3 days ago, and I'm ex heroine addicted (I'm using methadone for cravings and heal my addiction) and other substances, I think that some can create serious problems to the stomach, like mdma because most of all are made with too basic or too acid ingredients, and this can cause ulcer, and hemorrhage . I remember when I was smoking crack and having bad stomach pain sometimes. I suggest you to don't use any kind of drugs in general, but if you want have more information about it, you can ask to substance's doctor like I did before getting operated!
