I would like to schedule my surgery for the first full week in March once my insurance is approved, any other March Sleevers in the building?

what size bougie did your doctor use or will your doctor use

Mine is tomorrow too. I also had to take the magnesium citrate yesterday too. Nasty stuff huh? Buy im all cleared and ready to go. I have to be at the hospital at 6 am. Where is ur surgery?

I'm in mn. I almost didn't keep that crap down. I have to b at hospital at 730 am. Good luck to u and let me know how u r doing. I'm down 29 lbs in the last month!!! I'm excited to start eating again. Have u been on a diet?

Dont get too excited about eating again..lol.. its probably gonna be a long time for that but it will be worth it.. I am a week out but excited to report that creamed soup is my new bff..

It is so hard not to cheat on the liquid diet. I am on day 5 and I am hungry. Broth, jello and popsicle are getting old along with the protein drinks. Anyone else having the same problem?

yes I am having a problem with it two and i called the doctor and asked him what was on his mind so he allowed me on can of tomato soup a day and that makes me feel better and the people at work think im sane again lol

I solved the problem perfectly myself. Every year, each sibling (five of us) go to my mother's house. We decide what we want for out birthday meal and she makes it and the whole family celebrates. My choice is always roast beef, mashed potatoes, peas and German Chocolate or Angel cake for dessert. Yum.

But my birthday is April 12th and I was sleeved on March 5th. What to do? We solved it by having my birthday celebration before the surgery date.

It was beautiful. Presents, cake and the most succulent, rare roast beef I've ever had.

Win Win.

And I will be on solid foods when my real birthday arrives. I will probably celebrate with a bite of mashed potatoes, soup and a protein drink. LOL

Goud luck Gina Marie! Ill be looking forward for post to come.

Thanks just got home a little bit ago. Glad to be here, there's no place like home! Lol!

Mine tends to use 36 and then oversew. But it also depends on the patient. I got 34 with oversew. There really isn't a big difference.

Im in upstate ny. North of Albany.

I'm on day 3 post-op. I'm still having a fair amount of pain in my stomach. It feels like I took a couple donkey kicks to the gut. Nothing some liquid Percocet doesn't take care of though. I'm doing lots of walking. I had a protein shake today, which was my first real calories since Sunday night. I am taking fluids pretty easily. So far today I have 30 oz of fluids and 30 grams of protein down and it's only noon. I'm hoping to go back to work on Sunday. It's looking good so far!

Good luck to all those who are getting sleeved today!

I know how you feel, my surgery is next Wed. And my birthday is this Sunday so no parting for me but I consider this my present.

I had surgery on my bday!

Hey there, all!

Here is the line up for the rest of the month... those of us sitting on the bench, just itching to get on the losing field!
