Official July Sleevers Postop Thread.



Recommended Posts

Well, the time has finally come. It is July and tomorrow at least 18 of us (I think) will be getting sleeved! viva la July 2nd! lol.

I saw a similar thread for June and thought this would be a good idea for support while in the hospital recovering.

I will be going in, in 28 hours to be exact. Then my life changes forever....I wish everyone the best of luck especially my independence day siblings all 28 or so of us being sleeved the first 4 days of July.

Good luck safe journeys if going to Mexico and I will see you on the losers bench where we will all be winners!

12 hours to go. Just drank my magnesium citrate... So if anyone feels a disturbance in the force, please excuse me lol.

Kinda worried ti take it. Never had laxative before, and especially a whole bottle.

Getting down to the wire never wanted to eat something more in my life not because I'm hungry but because it feels like I will never eat again or something.

Guess just panicking and freaking out, who wouldn't want the emotional comfort food can bring.

You will be able to eat again, one day :)

Right now keep focused on getting thinner and getting healthy. We are all here when you feel like you need support or need a friend that understands where you are at in life.

I am praying for you. Do not be afraid :)

Post when you feel like checking in to let us know you are up and that all is well.

((((HUGS))))

This us ungodly. Yes I watch greys anatomy and know surgeons work ungodly hours, but that is emergent care surgery.

Why would anyone chose 6am surgeries for pre scheduled...

I'm so not a morning person!

T minus 1h:30m till I have to be at hospital.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
