Anyone else going to have their sleeve in May? I'm excited and now the nervousness has set in. I am reading a few posts that people are in the hospital for like 3 days. My dr said I would only be in the hospital one day. And that I would walk the same day as my surgery.... Is this something they tell everyone or should I plan on more than one day there? Either way, my life changes May 16th and I'm excited

Hi

I am due on 15th, but I am n Australia. I suppose to stay for 3 days post op, but I am diabetic and did have a kind of cardiovascular problem, I think these three days is essential for the dr to make sure that everything is going well for me.

As ur doctor choose for u only one day stay, ur health might b stable and he thinks that u don't need longer medical attention post op. u shouldn't be worry if ur health post opneeds longer stay make sure that ur dr will never discharge u.

By the way shorten ur stay in the hospital if don't need too is much better as this will decrease the risk of getting the hospital acquire infection. So just b positive and don't hesitate to discuss any of ur concerns with ur dr, that is ur health and ur right to feel safe and comfy

Good luck

May23rd for me

I'm may 23rd as well. Gwen where are you having yours at???

I'm in jersey Dr lopes is doing mine,start liquid on the 9th

Me to Gwen. What kinds of liquids have you gotten?

Nothing yet going to store tomorrow,can I drink coffee?

Where you getting yours done?

I'm getting mine done down in Tijuana. I don't know about coffee. I think you can. Plan on getting protein shakes. Jello.

I ordered protein shakes from bariatric waiting for delivery

Nothing yet going to store tomorrow,can I drink coffee?

I was told I could drink decaf coffee or tea

Gwen. What part of NJ?

I was told no caffeine. Decaf coffee or tea is fine. My hospital actually will serve that on the tray to me day after surg. My NUT gave me a list of what will be served in the hospital.

costco shakes are the best! I highly recommend them. They are called premiere and buy a magic bullet blender it's great!

I am still waiting for insurance approval. But I am scheduled this fri may 11 !!

I was told no coffee as the caffeine is an irritant to the stomach. Decaf is ok. I had been a serious, daily coffee drinker for years an the withdrawal was awful. I had a 5 day migraine and ended up having to take one day off work because I felt so sick and weak. I have been off coffee for a month now and don't even miss it. I even bought a small latte this weekend and didn't finish it.

Plus all the calories And the money that I save makes it worth it!

Good luck to all the May sleevers this week! I'll be right behind you next Monday! woohoooo!

artsy.... good luck today's the day!!!
