Mine did not, I too thought they would but it didn't bother me.

I had the sleeve doneon Monday Sept 17th--had alot of pain (more than I had anticipated) but today - 5 days post op' date=' I finally am feeling better-showered, hair washed and styled and mascara on! Off for a short walk and then spending the morning on the porch reading and enjoying the beautiful fall day!!

My question is: How many of your surgeons/doctor groups called you at home post op?? Mine has not, and I am kind of pissed about it!

My hospital called me after the EGD which actually surprised me so I can only imagine they will after the surgery. Every place is different.

Well, had my sleeve done on Sept 11th, with a hiatal hernia repair which I was not expecting. I could not get anything down for the first 2 days, lots of nausea and vomiting. then yesterday I started swallowing and getting the liquids down but then I have constant heartburn and frequent hiccups. but I feel much better. I hope to be going home tomorrow.

In my after care I've been told to take 1 prilosec for 2 months. Will help keep down the stomach acids which also helps your stomach heal faster. Good luck healing I get sleeved on tuesday

I'm scheduled for this Thursday. I'm excited and nervous. 2 week pre-op liquid diet is not too bad but getting old.

I'm scheduled for Wednesday and you better believe this pre-op diet is getting old for me too. I long for some eggs and fat-free refried black Beans and avocado with a little salsa!

pinky you wont see that for awhile girl. im like 2 weeks pre op and than the same after the surgery willi ever see solid food again

[Tbrendon 36]

I'm kind of lucky my surgeon doesn't do the 2 week liquid diet pre op. I've just had to do a NO carb diet.

Pinky,

I had surgery on 9/7 and today was the first day when I tried the egg just the egg.

Also I start having terrible acid reflux. and Surgeon tried to prescribe me nexium( sp?) but my insurance company doesn't cover that. so now I am waiting for Monday, when Doctor would be in the office and give me something else. for now I am eating tums. it remind me my pregnancy time when I eat tums all day long.

My doctor's schedule starts me on pureed food after 2 weeks. The eggs I might have to soft scramble and then put in a blender. The Beans and the avocado can be pureed with a fork. Any reason I shouldn't eat at least one of those after 15 days?

I love avocados can't wait to try them after surgery. I have to look at my booklet about the phases. Ok,here goes, Phase 1, weeks 1&2, liquids. Phase 2, weeks 2-5, softs. Phase3, weeks 4-6, solids. I'm glad I looked at that.

Had surgery 9/14. To date, no complications except trying to drink 64 ozs. Started blended foods Fri. Start soft foods Wed. for a week. Amazing I get full after about 6-7 bites of food. I prepped myself for a month preop to sip and chew. Natural now. Good luck to all!

Hey everyone!!

So, I wanted to say that I am now 5 days post op!!! Had my surgery on the 17th first thing in the morning and all went very well. I did stay in the hospital till Friday the 21st to make sure I was ok, which was not bad at all!! Slept alot and walked alot. The pain for me was surprisingly alot less from when I had the band 7 yrs ago and having it removed 3 months ago!?!? Its weird though cuz everytime i woke up in the hospital i felt as if i missed my surgery lol and when I realized i already had it done I paniced... Day of surgey weight was 254.6, havent wieghd myself yet and dont plan too either till post op apt with doc. but i do feel very swollen. One thing that does suck for me the fact that i still have the draining tube in me and will have it till my 2 week post op!!!! I know...it freaks me out too! lol but i guess its what had to be done. I really hope we ALL lose our wieght and be healthy. hang in there everyone! it isnt that bad at all and I hope that everyone has a speady recovery

Is nasogastric used during most all sleeve surgeries? I'm scared of that.

No nasogastric as far as I know. I had to be intubated, which I hear is the norm, but you're asleep when it goes in and asleep when it comes out so no problems there!
