I was denied 2 times and finally approved to get my sleeve! I have do many emotions balled up inside right now! But one question ?? How long are you in the hospital if everything goes good? So I can make plans for my children. I've waited for over a year to get this done and I'm like 2 weeks away

My surgery date is also the 27. I'm nervous but very excited. I've wanted to do this for three years and for various reasons I'm just now taking care of me:) my Dr. Says one to two nights in hospital. I wish you the best of luck!

I would plan for 2 nights. It is possible that you may only need 1 night. I needed 2 nights my BP was a bit high, once they figured out they weren't giving me the correct dosage of BP meds they let me go.

Thank you and best of luck to you too!

Hello! I am an August 27th sleever as well ... started my liquids today... How is everyone doing on the pre-op diet?

How long is stage one anybody know?

I see the dietician on Tuesday and start the preop diet then my dr says stage 1 is 2-4 weeks adding one mushy food at a time!

I an also scheduled for the 27th and my doctor told me 2 days!!!....good luck to everyone

My surgery is the 27th also! I have been on my pre-op since last sunday. My Dr. requires 2 week I can have 5 protien shakes and 2 cups of veggies and sf jello or sf popsickle that is it. It hasn't been to bad the first day was the hardest. GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!!

My Dr has me on a 12 day protein shack diet, called Bariatric Advantage. Its has been hard with no real food. I broke down tonight and had two eggs.

Good luck and speedy recovery everyone. I just got scheduled for the 27th also. I was scheduled for Sept. 24 and they had a cancellation and moved me up. Very excited but so nervous as well.

Don't beat yourself up we are only human... Just try and listen to your dr he has your best interest! I asked my dr why every dr has a different approach to this preop diet an he stated besides to shrink the liver.... It is for you to get maximum weight loss for your personal self before surgery! Best of luck to all of yous! Excited for this tool to use onto. A healthy lifestyle change

I'm the 27th too. My doc says 1 night in hospital and only clear liquids day before surgery. Good luck to everyone. Thank you to all on this forum. I would not have the courage without you all.

I will be spending 2 nights in the hospital.. fine with me.. I would rather be there as I get use to my new stomach: ) 10 days of liquids before the surgery as well. I am on day 2 .. ok so far : ) I already find myself getting bored.. its amazing how much food or meals fill your day..
