February Sleevers

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

Good morning all. I was sleeves yesterday. I'm up as waiting for the shuttle to takes us back to the hotel. No nausea just colicky pains right where the drain sits. Other than that it was a great experience. I lost a total of 24 lbs pre op. they first have meet the nutritinis' date=' then the cardiologist, followed by lab work and Iv, meet the surgeon, then change into gown and sexy paper underwear. Then u walk into the surgery room lie down, and in a few minutes lights out. The next thing I remember is waking up in my room, wondering if they ever operated on me. Slightly sore. My thought burned a little from the tube. All and all very good experience and excellent staff!! OCC is top notch!! Me and Dr Ortiz pre op

God' date=' I'm so flippin angry and frustrated today and want nothing more than to have a giant freaking pepperoni pizza and cheese bread delivered and chow down. But it's a stress reaction. I only want the "comfort" of food because I'm so stressed. I will get through this and eat a piece of chicken.[/quote']

Good luck and a speedy recovery feb 21st'ers!

Best of luck!

Surgery scheduled for tomorrow, after experiencing every possible delay. I suppose it's for the best. The liquid diet is for the birds. Makes my 1200 calorie a day diet seem like bliss. Did anyone else need to take the test where they put an IV in you and pump up your heart rate? Afterwards, I felt like I ran a marathon. Personally, I found it more uncomfortable than the throat-scope. Last blood test today. Waiting for my surgery time.

Good luck to all. Remember to keep us posted!

You had a stress test. I work in a hospital and some surgeons require the test prior to surgery. Good luck with your surgery....I will be going in on Monday :)

Flying in to Tijuana today and just found out my surgery will be tonight instead of tomorrow. Needless to say I'm in full blown "holy sh*t I can't believe today is the day mode!"

Wow! Best of luck to you tonight! See you on the losers bench soon!
