Oh wow...another Mandevillian!

Here it is after 9 pm and I haven't even packed yet.

I'm getting pretty anxious..I hope I'll be able to sleep tonight!

Who is doing your surgery? Where are you having it?

Dr. Lavin is my surgeon and I will be having it done at Fairway. I am a mixed bag right now with emotions. I have gotten some resistance from family and friends, because they do not consider me to be overweight enough to have the sleeve. All they want to talk about are possible complications. I am 36 and have no health concerns. Just tired of the constant battle with my weight. Who is doing your surgery?

Ok swiftflow and goodlife - tomorrow's the big day for us! I should be in bed since I have to get up at 5 a.m. but I'm a bundle of nerves. Reading your very positive post when you're a little less than week out, stcyt, is a real emotion booster! Thanks!

Best of everything to you swiftflow and goodlife. Hope we all have wonderful surgical stories to share in a couple of days!

I'm home. My surgery (revision from band to sleeve) took about 1.5 hours very early yesterday morning. I was in recovery for another 3. Lots of nausea. But finally got it undercontrol by about noon.

I can see that this is going to be a rather tedious next 3 weeks or so. I can hardly stand artifically sweetened stuff so I'm probably going to have to really fight to get the stuff down. I think tomorrow I might be able to have a Protein shake. I'm only getting a few sips of anything down at a time. If I take my Darvosette, I'm okay. When I need it, I'm pretty uncomfortable.

No trouble ambulating - I was up walking around pretty quickly and took several spins around the ward last night. My doc said that the gas will settle in one of your shoulders (or both) if you lie on your side to sleep. So I've been staying upright ever since he told me that. So far, no shoulder pain.

He found another hiatal hernia but thinks it won't give me any trouble now. But did think that was why I wasn't successful with the band.

Hope goodlife and swiftflow check in and are doing well.

Glad you are home and doing well! Today and tomorrow are kinda yucky, then you should see a huge improvement.

Darvocet is a great med. Almost as good as Dilaudid : )

Happy Recovery to you!:001_smile:

BJean...sounds like you're doing great too!

My biggest issue is heartburn/acid.

I haven't had any nausea.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
