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

Check out the pre surgery bowel prep blues.

@erp I am getting sleeved tomorrow too. We are in this together!!! Prayers for all my Feb 20th sleevers.

Prayers to you also! I can't believe tomorrow is finally the big day!

I know weeeeeee!

I'm officially sleeved!! I went down at 8 this morning so I am about 12 hours out! I have a lot of nausea but that's because I do not handle anesthesia or pain medicine very well. My stomach is definitely sore, but I had my lapband taken and and reversed to a sleeve so my doctor told me I would be since he would be messing with scar tissue. The pain is still manageable though, the worst part is the nauseas but I just have to wait for the to wear off!! I am extremely happy that I made this decision to have surgery and I'll gladly take a little pain for a shot at a new healthier life!

Had EGD, did classes, met wit nut, had swallow test, pre- op appointment Feb 1. Cardiologist Jan 30. Surgery Feb 28.

Phew!

We have the same sx date are you nervous?

I would like an invite

I've been really good' date=' started MT clear diet a day early and am on bowel cleaner today but I am pretty sure I am going to skip the enema. My sister had same procedure with same surgeon and skipped it too and I really don't want to do it. Thoughts??[/quote']

My surgeons do no bowel prep for sleeve

I did too for the 1st 4-5 days of pre op liquid diet. After that I went on and was excited to start a eating healthy board' date=' I was doing shakes and pb 2 recipes etc (: I just looked at it differently[/quote']

Good idea! Thank you for the info

Sleeved on 2/19 as scheduled. A bit sore and the gas pains are wicked. I have been up since I woke up from surgery at 11:30 am yesterday. Due for my swallow test at 8am today. Can't wait to have a glass of water.

I would like an invite too. Surgery in two days. I lost 11lbs on my pre-surgey diet. Now the 48 hours liquid diet begins. At least the destination is worth the journey!
