I'm March 20th also! So excited and nervous. I have my pre-op appointment on March 11 (MONDAY!) but I already cut the white flour and sugar out of my diet this week just to get a head start. We'll see if it does any good. I think the biggest fear for me has been on whether this will work for me. I've been overweight all my life and up and down. I haven't seen below 200 since I was about 12 (seriously....that bad). Now I'm 5'8 and a hair under 300. Blah. Looking forward to a new future.

I can sense the excitement (and nerves) on this thread. Can't wait till we're all done and safely on the other side. A patient recently sleeved by my surgeon has had a bleed and it is making me even more nervous. I am wondering if it is a sign I shouldn't be going ahead with the op.

Argh how negative do I sound? lol

Time for a bit of positive thinking me thinks....x

gilx

Funny thing. When something like that happens, it usually makes them MORE attentive. So now might just be the best time to have it done.

Best of luck to you!

Kyeta thank you so much for your reply. That is an excellent way to view the situation. I have just realised how negative I am being. Time to focus on the exciting aspects.

Well its bedtime here in Scotland nighty night, look forward to more updates tomorrow. Xx

Ok fellow March sleevers, I am now on day 7 of being sleeved. I still have some pain on my left 15mm incision, but it is a little more tolerable now. It really does help to walk , walk, walk! I still have a little gas pains here and there but not as bad as they were the first few days. The gas x strips come in sooo handy. It's definitely getting easier to move around and walking is actually kind of fun now that the sun is out. I am still on my Clear Liquids until Sunday then I will go on full liquids, kind of excited for a little bit more variety to my diet. Lol. For me I find that if my Water, liquids are cold with ice they tend to go down better than lukewarm or room temperature liquids, but everyone is different. I have to say the first couple of days weren't too bad maybe because I was on pain medication, lol the next couple of days were pretty much hell! But now it's like I can see the light at the end of the tunnel, so good luck to all my fellow March sleevers, we'll be starting the new spring season with a new spring in our step!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
