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 all!

This is my first post. My surgery is WEDNESDAY, 11.10.10.

I'm scheduled with Dr. Alvarez on November 26th and couldn't be more excited. I wish my work schedule would allow me to move it up a couple of weeks. Anyone else going to be there over Thanksgiving?

My appointment is Nov. 25th with doctor Aceves. I am very happy.

me too!!! who is your dr?

Add me to the list. Surgery set for Nov 29th!

Keep in touch...I am on the 10th as well!!!

Just thought I'd check in ...

My surgery was last week and I'm just now starting to feel 1/2 normal. My pain is diminishing a little more every day but the exhaustion is just debilitating. In my whole life, I have never taken naps; however, I've been napping a lot in the last seven days. I have had considerable nausea postop but the doc called in some Zofran & a Scopolamine patch for me and I'm feeling better. I do have a drain that I have to have taken out tomorrow so I'll be able to see the MD for a few moments.

In my first week of postop life, I've lost the 12 lbs I gained during hospitalization plus 3 more. So happy to be on the loser's bench with the rest of you!

Best wishes to the other Novembers!

LowCHO, I am so sorry to hear that. I am the same day and I am feeling pretty good. We seem to have the same stats and I am wondering, why did you have a drain?

Good to be a loser, ey

Sorry guys ~ I don't know why my post went up multiple times and I don't know how to delete

Sorry guys ~ I don't know why my post went up three times and I don't know how to delete

3? I see 6 :-)

Maybe you can send a quick note to an admin or so?

My surgeon tells me that about 3/4 people out of 100 actually need a drain so all of his VSG patients get one, just in case. No biggie, I'm just hoping it won't hurt coming out :-)
