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?

But what is it actually for… I'm still confused.

It's a calibration tube that's used as a guide for the surgeon so that they make your sleeved stomach the correct size. They put it down your throat and into your stomach and then the surgeon cuts the stomach around it. The bigger the bougie, the more of your stomach that is left. Here's a YouTube link that explains it in detail.

3/27/13. Done with day 2 of pre-op diet.

I am on my pre-surgery diet. Failed to stick it today so disappointed with my self. Haven't lost much since starting a week ago initially only lost 1 kg then gained almost 2 kg sticking to diet. Think my body doesn't know what is happening. Looking forward to next Friday. When surgery is done. Please I need a buddy for support.

BMI 38

Height 1,62cm

Weight current 96.9 kg

Goal weight 60-62kg

Your prayers and support is appreciated and this forum have been life saver.

God bless and good luck to all the March Sleevers

Hi everyone. Praying those being sleeved today. It's 445 am here. I'm sitting on my sofa with a numb feeling. My surgery is @ 0930. Rather I report then but surgery @ 1130. I'm so nervous. Seeing all of your posts have really gotten me through some of my anxieties but not all. I'm just a ball of nerves right now.

Hang in there, those are the longest 5 hours of your life, you will be fine! Just think of the outcome after the rain is over!

Im in room 205 come see me today

March 21, my date with Garcia, is around the corner... So excited... Anyone else gonna be at Mi Hospital during that time, please walk with me!! Good luck and prayers said!!!

You guys are my lifeline right now. Nausea was so bad so i stopped pain meds. Ouch. I get waves of pain in my chest & shoulders. I came home yesterday, but couldnt eat anything. This morning, ive mixed an isopure powder shake & have had a few sips. Not sure if thats going to stay down. I hope so. Also have a slight fever - it hovers between 99 & 99.4. I think i need to take my pain but so afraid of the bad nausea. I will call doctor & ask for the zofram. Thanks for your replies! Please tell me that its going to get better. lol

I was sleeved 3/13. I came home today & im jist overwhelmed by nausea. Ugh! Did snyone else have it? How long did it last? Any tips?

I had it so bad I stayed in the hospital 4 days, plus they sent me home with two prescriptions for it. But once I finally came home it stopped.

It's going to alright. I'm sending positive thoughts and prayers your way. You are going to do great. If you still have some anxiety, you can also ask them to give you something to calm your nerves. Keep us posted. Hugs and prayers!!

Prayers and positive thoughts to those who are having surgery today and to those recuperating.

Can anyone tell me how to start a thread? My surgery is Monday and I would like to keep everyone in the loop ! Thanks
