Hello,

I am relatively new to the site do there may have already been this thread prior so I apologize.

Just wondering of the planned/anticipated novembers?

Nov. 26th here - Getting so anxious/nervous now that it's only a week away... so close but so far.

Hi everyone! I'm new to this app. I was on the gastric bypass app because I had my heart set on that surgery' date=' but my surgeon suggested I get the sleeve instead. He said it has the same results as the bypass, but with less risk.

Surgery date is Nov. 28th wish me luck! [/quote']

Hello connie and welcome to the November sleevers! Good luck on your journey

I asked my surgeon yesterday at my pre op visit and he also does not do the barium swallow. He does the leak test right after the surgery with water and air also. He said te barium swallow is old school and has a 50% false positive rate.

I was sleeved on the 7th and my doc does both.He does water and air at the end of the surgery before closing to test for leak. He does barium swallow next day not just for leak but to make sure sleeve is functioning as it should.

Good luck to everyone being sleeved today:)

Nov 27th @ 10am I will be getting sleeved can't wait..but yet im so nervous because I start liquids tomorrow and my surgery is next Tuesday...please keep me in your prayers fam...

I am on my way to the hospital, my surgery is at 8am. Praying for others who are also being sleeved today.

All the very best.... Your life will begin on the other side off your operation... !!!

Good luck to everyone being sleeved this week and next! I am 5 days post op and though sore, so far so good all things considered!

For those of us who have been sleeved this month, how is your weightloss going? I am 8 days post op today and have lost 5 lbs. Truthfully, I thought it would be more, as I weighed myself 5 days post op and was the same loss of 5lbs! I'm not eating hardly anything at all - I am trying. Just wondering if anyone wants to chime in on this.

Good luck to everybody having surgery! You will all do great!

Thanks George! Surgery went very well yesterday and I'm really feeling well outside if being just a little sore, but I really can't complain! Just waiting to have a smooth recovery! Heading back to Florida from Tijuana on Friday night and to finally relax in my own bed! Yippee! Thanks for all of your support to us late November sleevers and you were right; there was really nothing to worry about!
