Hey all! I'm new around these parts

My surgery is scheduled for January 7th and I was wondering if there are any others schedule for the big day in January 2013 ...?

My surgeon had to fix a hiatal (think I spelled that right) hernia as well. They are going to give me blue ice this morning, to ensure my stomach has no leaks and hopefully I will have my foley removed as well.

I am having a hiatal hernia repaired too.

I had my surgery yesterday morning' date=' I'm feeling okay, a little abdominal discomfort, but mainly my discomfort is by my left collar bone, and that is common with laparoscopic procedures but I feel surprisingly good.

Thats so awesome to hear.. Im waiting to go back-sleeved in T-35 min.. Good luck with your recovery!

Good luck as well.

Wishing a quick recovery to everyone going in today.

I had hoped to have my surgery scheduled on Jan 8th but through the holidays I gained instead of losing now I am struggling to lose 16lbs. I feel so discouraged and mad at myself. I was 7lbs away from the Doctors goal and I totally blew it. Well back to basics and hit the treadmill for an hour a day. I am really going to try hard to hit this nail on the head once and for all!

My surgery time was bumped due to an emergency but I eventually got taken upstairs Tuesday a bit after noon. Came out with no complications and was out of recovery and into my own room around 4pm. Didn't have any serious pain, just general discomfort and only had a little oxy before going to bed. After rounds they discharged me a bit after 2pm Wednesday.

Ran a couple of pharmacy errands with my friend on the way home from the hospital and settled in for some protein shakes and television before some more oxy and an early bedtime. Woke up a couple of times in the night but no real pain, just some twinges in some positions, particularly gas pains in my left shoulder which sucks because I'm usually a left-side sleeper.

A glorious shower this morning and curling up in my recliner to do some reading and email answering and things are pretty good. I hope everyone else here has a nice uneventful surgery and a complication-free recovery!

Finished my blue ice, they cleared me to eat, chicken broth one small 30ml cup, 3 cups have taken an hour and a half

I got out of surgery late yesterday afternoon. Had an ok night. Staff made it impossible to sleep more that 2 hrs at a time. I took pain meds last night but I'm feeling pretty good today. I have only taken Tylenol since early this am. It's 12:30 and they just brought me a tray of liquids. Hope I don't have trouble cause I'm ready to go home.

Mine was done on 8th I am having trouble passing gas rest everything is fine

I had my sleeve yesterday, and it went well! I am home now, with a crappy stomach, is this gas?? I haven't passed any yet but feel like a have no stomach muscles. I seem to be sleeping all the time, from the pain meds. Glad to hear so many of you did good too! Good luck to Friday's sleevers.

Hi everyone!

My sleeve went really well and now just resting. Make sure you get and move as soon as you can! It really helps to get everything moving even including the gas.
