Surgery went very smooth yesterday. Walking around... Little gas. Just got my tray of Jello and broth. Dr said I should be going home tomorrow if I can tolerate liquids.< /p>

Hi Michelle I am moving along as to be expected. The surgery went great with no complications. I am moving around as much as possible but it is very hard to get these liquids in. I'm finding the bigger incision is what's causing me the pain. I also have an allergic reaction to the surgical Band Aids they used so I have pretty pink dots around my incisions.Lol Things are going well and I'm very grateful for everyone support. Pretty soon you'll be on the losing side of the bench to

New to the forum. Started my pre-op diet a few days ago. My surgery is scheduled for March 19th at BWH Faulkner with Dr Shikora. A little nervous but mostly pretty excited.

Thanks Pphockeygirl

The diet is going well so far. I'm on day 6 of the pre-opp. Based on what I've read my doctor's pre-opp diet seems a little less restrictive than others. The first couple of days where difficult - it felt like I was detoxing or something. I had headaches, hunger etc. but much better now. How has your experience been?

First couple days/weeks can definately be like that. It's usually breaking the sugar "addiction".

Seems there hasn't been any posts in over a year for any Bostonians out there?!?! I'm curious to know who else has been sleeved in MA. I live North of Boston.

Well I used to live in Boston area all around... Brighton, South End, Somerville, Medford and Malden before I moved to a town near Worcester. Somewhat close... I have not been sleeved yet and hoping to hear a date either Nov or Dec. at Umass Memorial. Glad to see local people here!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
