Hi I know I'm pretty early to ask ,but is there anyone getting sleeved in November?

I'm traveling 7th Nov having surgery at the OOC with Dr Ortiz and then traveling back the 14th as he wants you to stay until the drain is out.

Hoping there are some others out there.

Hi

If all goes well with my insurance, I am hoping for a Nov date. :confused1:

Yep, 1st November is my date (done in Stockholm, Sweden where I live). Curious about this drain you mention? I have not heard or read about any drain for the op I'm having done?! Why and where is this placed? :confused1:

I too am having my surgery in Nov, at OOC with Dr. Ortiz. I am doing my surgery week of Thanksgiving.. I have been on this site daily readying everything I can. I almost changed surgeons but decided to stick with Dr. Ortiz, he seems the most qualified. It is such a tough decision. I am ready to do it now , I hate having to wait. I love readying everyones post, there is sooooo much support on these forums its amazing.. Good luck and I hope to keep up with your success..

The doctor's place a drain tube under the skin in the abdomen through one of the ports used for surgery, so any fluid/blood can exit the body. My doctor removed mine on day 3, I think as long as your not draining a ton of Fluid they can remove it rather quickly. The rest of the fluid then is absorbed by your body.

I had one on each side of my stomach when I had a tummy tuck. I got those out around day 7.

Hi Lisa!

I was scheduled for Nov. 22, but I have changed it to Nov.29th.

I'm excited and nervous. Have you started a pre-op diet yet? I haven't but I will very soon.I have been eating like crazy lately.

Hi Ka,

Are you going to INT Hospital in TJ?

I have also been eating like mad!! I ate a big ice cream cone tonight, it was good!:cursing: I dont think I have to start my preop till 2 weeks before, When are you starting yours?

I am very nervous and still really worried about leaks and stuff.

I hope everything goes good for you as well.

I'm sure I will put on another 10 lbs befor I go on my diet.

Talk to you soon,

Lisa~

Hey Lisa,

Yes, mine is at INT hopital in TJ. I think I have already gained 10-15 lbs. They put me on a 2 week pre op diet too, but I'm getting bigger by the weeks its seems and I'm scared that I am going to complicate my surgery (with a fatter liver:w00t:) if I don't get control of this eating thing. So I'm going to start a couple week earlier.

Thanks for well wishes and I hope all the best for you too! I'm sure we will be just fine. I better go to bed now, I have a very early morning.

Talk to you later,

Ka
