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 ...?

I am sleeved and home from the hospital. I am having trouble getting all my liquids in. Just does not seem to be room for them. I am also having a LOT of heart burn. fun fun fun.

Overall, doing really really well and I am excited to be able to start this part of my journey.

So bummed, my cold got worse around 1 am. I had to go to the ER, ended up with a nasty ear infection. They said the drum is close to bursting ( nice). They gave me 4 different medications to start taking. Looks like I will be canceling my surgery for Monday.

Just go. If you feel up to it go and see what they say. I got sick & started coughing with a sore throat almost 2 days prior to my big day. (1/7/13) They let me have my surgery. Drink water, keep your sprits up and go.

& by the way, coughing hurts like hell when you have holes in your tummy.... Food for thought.... It won't be totally a bad thing if they held you up a day or two... Trust me and my aching tummy..

I get to advance my diet to full liquids today! So ready for something other than chicken broth. I was sleeved on the 9th and have had zero problems so far, so I have my fingers crossed that I will make this transition smoothly. Never thought runny cream of wheat cereal would be so appealing haha!

I was sleeved on 1/10 and the nausea/heartburn is sooooo bad that I cant come even close to taking in enough fluids. any advice?

do you have prescription nausea and/or antiacid meds from your doc? This helps ALOT!!!

@ newme yes I have prescription pepcid and compazine but the nausea and heartburn continues even after I take these. this sounds crazy but I actually would rather be in pain than be sick to my stomach. i can handle pain but this nausea is making me nutty

As of right now I am on a cocktail of meds for 10 days. 2 of the meds I can't take within 7 days of surgery. I am okay canceling now. The pain from last night was unreal, I am glad it's finally under control. I will update soon with my new date. I may turn into a February sleever.

Ok better to be safe than sorry. You don't need the extra pain anyways. Pls keep me posted and get well soon.

Is anybody worry about life changing after and relationships. Dont get me wrong i will love my sleeve but i know i will change and need to re_evaluate the people around me.

Good Luck to everyone and thank you for the updates my date is the 28 and Im very happy but still scare' date='[/quote']

Hi my date is the 28th also and I'm nervous and excited too, I'm having my surgery in Hintsville Alabama

I am scheduled Jan 31st. Starting liquid diet this week.

Starting my liquid diet soon. Cannot believe I actually feel sorry for myself and don't think I am so big that I need to do the liquids! I better get with the program...

Hi Everyone - Anyone have a surgery date of January 30th? I'm getting so excited but also nervous! I'm starting my pre-op diet on Wednesday.

Any advice?

I am Jan.30th too!! We can be surgery buddies! I am very excited ans nervous as well. We got this! We can be support for each other. I start my pre op diet Wednesday,not too excited about that!

My report time is 6am Monday morning, I will be yes first one of the day. Now for the sad part, I came down with a sore throat and my ears are plugged. I know deep down I will need to cancel my surgery but I am holding out hope things will be better by Sunday. I never thought a cold would keep me de surgery.

Hi had my surgery Wednesday and started with a sore throat on Monday evening. I was so upset when i woke up tuesday and could barely speak. I called the surgeon prepared for the worse but he told me as long as i didn't have a fever I was fine. Surgery done and home resting. there still may be hope..Good Luck to you.
