IM SCHEDULED FOR SEPT 12

I'm on my way to Plano. Pre-op appt in the am and surgery Friday morning! Super excited but nervous about anesthesia. I'm having a revision. Lapband to vertical sleeve. When I had lap band, in recovery I had to be given epinephrine...maybe too much anesthesia? Any pointers from anyone? Current weight 237. Hope I do great with it and don't over eat!! Anything I should ask surgeon about bougie size and suturing? I heard it all makes a difference...my dr is dr. Cribbins

I am tomorrow tooo if they let me. I have a cold and I'm so upset about it. This will be the second cancelation one more and I give up!!

Good luck!

@ newgrandmother, I had my pre-op visit today and theni stop in Trader Joes and they have a Latin style Back bean soup in the carton that is so good, only 70 cal. per cup and it really helps with the cravings, warm and spicy. I was going to eat something but my father is flying in from Philadelphia on Sat to be with me while I'm having my surgery and I decided to not eat until he gets here and I will have my last meal on Sunday, Laxative that night and surgery on Tues.

Something else I found to help me with cravings is Jello Mousse temptation,dark chocolate 60 cal and 0 fat. Hope that will assist you. Much Love...You will be just find...

Thank you! I had a cold too and had to take a zpak last week and it ended yesterday...still a little stuffy but much better than I was. Hope you feel better!

@peace...good to know. Will definitely try that. Was wondering whether it would help me to take a laxative prior...may just do that

peace thanks. but how many grams of sodium is in the soup. i get bad headaches if i have to much sodium

i made it through the day. i did all clear liquids yayyyyyyyyyyyyyy might do that tomorrow also

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

Best wishes for a speedy recovery!

I am officially sleeved. Pain wasnt bad but i mostly slept all day. Im sore when i move around on the bed but otherwise nothing unexpected. My surgeon came in and stated it was textbook perfect and no surprises inside so im overall happy. Hope the others who have had or are having the sleeve this week do great!
