I'm set up for February 4th. Seems like forever away. People keep telling me, "oh don't worry". It bugs me cause I'm not worried. What seems to keep popping in my head is, am I doing the right thing.

I would like to here what others are thinking, going through.

My Doctors plan is two days preop clear liquid, not 10 like I've been reading on here. Anyone else similar?

Thanks,

Kimo

I have pretty good results so far. I went into this surgery with the thinking of roll with it.

I have been on my meds when its time, I've walked a total of 40 minutes since 2p until now at 10p. And religious with my spirometer (sp?). Drinking small sips and that helps

Wishing 2/14 a speedy recovery and Good luck to you 2/15 sleevers

They are letting you drink surgery day? Lucky! That's my biggest worry! I can't drink a sip from Sunday night until Tuesday morning

I wouldn't say drinking per say. It is a sponge that I put in my mouth that is how I drink lol

I hope I can have that too! I hope you wake tomorrow and feel much better!

Mastiff I started asking for ice chips the moment I woke up. I just kept eating them. After my swallow test 7am the next day they started bringing me liquids non stop

That's always been an issue when I've been in the hosp before with a pain pump....you can't sleep and heal AND control pain
