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 ...?

Best of luck to everyone!!!

I am getting sleeved the 15th. Pretty excited but getting nervous. I have thought about this a long time and prayed about it. Is it normal to have some fear? Leaks scare the heck out of me! Please send some encouragement to this Oklahoma girl!!

Where are you having surgery? I'm an Oklahoma girl too. I should be Jan 28 or 30th, Dr. Keith is my surgeon.

Hi everyone!! I just wanted to wish my fellow January sleevers good luck!!

I am 5 days post op and I'm feeling terrific! Since I got home I have felt well enough to cook' date=' clean, do laundry, grocery shop, etc.

I'm so thankful to be sleeved. I'm down 32lbs since I started my pre-op diet.

I hope everyone who has been sleeved is also feeling great. Good luck to those of you getting sleeved soon. You won't regret it![/quote']

It's good to know you are feeling better. Today is day 2 and I'm starting to feel better. How are you doing with liquids? I have been having some issues getting it all in

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

I am 3 days post op in Tulsa. Where r u?

Well as soon as they took me off morphing the nausea stopped and I started getting better quickly. Now I'm doing great. I was sleeved on 9 th and leaving hospital today. I can drink 6 oz of water every thirty minutes at this time. Don't hesitate asking for a different pain killer if your nausea. They gave me dilauted (?) and all the sudden everything was 100% better. My Zdr said no gas x strips after surgery if doesn't help trapped air in body so you don't need that. The worse I felt the more walking helped my symptoms especially shoulder blade air pain. I'm so happy this part is over and I'm on the losers bench. I am so excited to see the lbs fall off!

I am in OKC using weightwise in Edmond

It was so nice sleeping in my own bed last night. I hate being in the hospital. I was on dilauded the first day but by about 3am I asked for straight Tylenol. I couldn't function at all with the narcotics on board. I had no gas pains at all, and my constant belly pain wore off quickly. Now only when I try to sit up or something which strains that area. I'm just gonna concentrate on my fluids today and rest.

It is very good to hear about people doing ok, tomorrow im flying to Mexicali and having the surgery on monday with Dr. Aceves, Right now I'm not very nervous but definitely want to be over the bridge already and post surgery at home being ok. I love this forum because is full of good people helping each other, may God bless you all!!!
