One night seems quick. Wonder if it was an insurance thing? I have to stay 2 nights

I only stayed one night too. I was self pay and had two nights but I had no nausea or trouble keeping up with the liquids. I also walked like a mad woman so I asked if I could go home. Of course, in hindsight I probably should have stayed since they parked me in a beautiful 2 room suite! That doesn't happen every day! lol!

I'm also overnight, going home in the morning.

You must be doing well! Good going! Keep walking and sipping! :)

Hi, yes! I just had surgery on March 8, 2013 in the Dominican Republic. I was there for 1 week. I'm now back in NJ, and 2 weeks post-op.

I'm glad you started this thread!

Who was your Doctor in DR?

Wow, 11 days already! I feel like i just read a preop post from you! Thanx for the taking tip. I have a bunch left over from my preop diet and wasn't sure when or if I'd be able to use them. Tomorrow is surgery for me.

Good luck to you!

The only pain is from the left over CO2 stuck under my diaphragm. The only gas is burping that's it.

Sleeved yesterday with Dr. Gersin, surgery went great, and he says I should not have any problems. Just restarted my BP meds and will probably go home tomorrow. So far doing well holding down liquids, i try to drink 30 cc every 15-30 minutes, and have no pain except on the side where they took out my stomach. I am so happy and my husband has been great....????

Made it!!! Not gonna lie, pain is no joke. They found a mass on my liver (most likely benign) and tried unsuccessfully to get a biopsy but no luck so I have a few extra incisions. Other than that, seem to be progressing normally. Hope to go home tomorrow. GL for tomorrow's sleevers!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
