Ok so after almost 2 yrs of waiting the day is here 11/28!! Have to be there at 530am!!!

It's been seven months for me were leaving in a few min for the hospital! Super excited !

Good Luck 11/28/12 sleevers!

Good luck to all being sleeved today!

This is a busy day. May the hands of all the Doctors be consise and healing and The surgerys be blessed.

I am thinking of you all this week....everyday and we are all waiting for the cheers.

treat yourself with Love, you deserve it.

Got a call tonight. My surgery will be the first one Friday morning. That's great because I won't have time to dwell and be worried. It does suck cuz I got to get up @ 4 am!

Anyway, hope anyone that had surgery today is recovering well.

Ok it's DONE!!!! Finally after almost 2 yrs. I have quite a bit of pain from one of the Incisions but I found if I get up and walk then take dome pain meds it works better and of coarse every time I get up, the easier it Is. Nausea comes and goes. The cotton mouth Is AWFUL! I keep swabbing and rinsing. Looking forward to my swallow study in 8 hrs. Good luck to u guys that go in the morning!!

I was sleeved on 11/27. I must admit that the recovery was a little more painful than I had anticipated. The hospital I am at is great and my care has been superb. My room mate is the same age as me, she had the bypass. The doctor did want to release me yesterday, but I told him that I was not comfortable with the amount of fluids I was taking in, so he let me stay an extra day. I am leaving today and feel much better about it. All I can say is walking was the biggest lifesaver. And taking pain meds constantly. I am excited to start the new me!

Ok so I had surgery on wed 11/28. Everything went perfectly. Surgeon said my was liver was small and out of way so the pre op diet worked AND it only took 45 mins to do. My swallo test had no probes but I have NO appetite at all and everytime I take a sip of anything , my stomach starts cramping. Anybody else with this? I only took in 10oz yesterday by mouth. Is this how things start out?

I guess I will let you know after today. It's my day today nervous and tired.

Good luck my fellow 11/30/12 buddies!

It's just the staple line reacting to the liquid hitting it. Make sure while you're adjusting that your liquid is room temp for a bit. I can tolerate hot and cold fluids now. Just take your time.

Quick update.... Surgery went well, no pain, no gas pressure.... Been belching like crazy! just a little nausea, but they are controlling that with meds. Hope my other sleeve buddies are doing ok

I was wondering about you. Great to hear and I can't wait for more updates!! Take care!

I can not get enough of anything! Im hot and my stomach hurts. Ugh! Cannot get my protien in. Guess I better give it time. I just got home from the hospital today.

Takes time to learn how to get it all in. You'll have good days and bad days.
