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 have a question' date=' how many incisions do you all have? I have 5[/quote']

I have 6 sites total.

5. I thought the main one would be in my belly button, but it's not. Maybe because I already have a scar there from having my gallbladder out.

Day 3 was yesterday - I was dismissed from hospital. I actually did not feel the greatest but I think I was fighting something. I had the chills and was really scared I was going to start running a fever. I slept pretty good and woke up feeling much better.

Day 4 - I'm dong great - so far I haven't had to take any nausea medicine. The only pain medication I'm taking is 1 extra strength Tylenol. My weight is same as when I went I'm for surgery. I'm eating jello, pudding and trying to drink my crystal light. I get a very full feeling very fast. Today I will be taking it easy - not planning on going anywhere.

I hope everyone is dong good too. Would love to hear from all of you.

Blessings - Linda

I have 6

I have 6 too, I was surprised!

I have 6 too I definitely thought I was only gonna have like 3!

I have 5 as well. 4 small ones and one larger one. So far 2 stitches have worked their way up and I've pulled them out while hoping its not gonna unravel my tummy like a cheap sweater

I have 5 sites with 13 staples total.

5 only but very small like a dime if that my big one is the size of a half dollar

I have six sites. One of mine is infected. I'm on strong antibiotics!

Congrats I'm on for the 28th also at 7:30 am but no pre op diet! I'm ready

I have 5. Only 2 are new since I'm a former bandster. But all are teeny except the one at my belly button. That's stil only about an inch!

I have 3 from the surgery itself... and I have 1 where they put in the pain medicine ball tubes - just a very small slit really - and then I have two marks (for lack of a better word) where they had the drainage tubes (they look like strawberries - just like I skinned my knee (or stomach in this case :-))

4 days post surgery and I do feel better today. I actually slept about 6 hours straight! Ingesting 64-ounces of fluids is quite difficult for me. I managed 42 ounces yesterday and this was tough. Focused on getting proteins and vitamins first then other fluids. More pain than I had anticipated, but I was comparing it to my lap band surgery 5 years ago. As for not having my Lap-Band - it is odd not feeling the port and always feeling the actual Lap-Band tight on my stomach. Anybody else have a Lap-Band / Sleeve revision? I am actually contemplating going back to work tomorrow - probably not a good idea.

January 28 is my date.

January 28 is my date.

Congrats on your surgery date
