I'm finally getting sleeved tomorrow at 10:00, which means I have to be at the hospital at 9:15. Since I live in a neighboring state, we will leave at 3 am to drive there. So, driving 250 miles with nothing to drink since it's after midnight. Yikes! My main concern right now is trying to drink this Magnesium Citrate. It took almost an hour to drink the first bottle- thankfully, I did not vomit. But I have one more bottle to drink in another hour. Anyway, I'm babbling right now because I'm nervous, hehe. Just wanted to say thanks for everyone's advice and support and see you guys on the other side of the loser's bench!

Well, I was nauseous for the first day, butnow this gas pain is by far worse. I've been eating gas x strips and had the heating to no avail. The dr said to try going without my Lortab to get my bowels working again so the gas can "get out" that way (sorry tmi!). So far that hasn't worked either. Now I'm headed home- only 4.5 hours away!

I agree. The gas pain is the worst! I am not allowed gas x strips. I still am not allowed to sip anything! I think I am staying a second night in the hospital.

Oh, you poor thing! You must be so extremely thirsty! I hope they let you have something soon. Definitely praying for you. Oh, and don't feel bad about the gas-x strips- they didn't do a thing for me.
