Recommended Posts

I have my surgery scheduled for April 1st!!! It is starting to feel real, probably for the first time!! I cannnnnot wait!! But at the same time feel so scared. I feel like I did when I was 2 weeks prior to labor...the anxiety! :) Congrats to you!

My revision from Lapband to sleeve in on April 1st as well :) I am totally freaking out at this point!

Hello, my name is Stephanie - I just got my approval today :) I should be hearing from a nurse soon on a date. I'm excited and nervous. Ready to get this show on the road...although not ready for the pre-op diet :/ I guess I'm dreading the hunger most of all those 2 weeks. At least after surgery I won't get the massive hunger pains I will have those 2 weeks.

I've been looking around on other threads and have seen some complain about how things aren't what they expected after surgery like hitting plateaus and such. Freaked me out a bit but I'm just going to take this journey one day at a time. I"m sure there will be some ups and downs. But I feel like every person has different reactions to such changes in their lives so I can't sit around and worry that MAYBE the same things will happen to me.

I'm in this with all of you :) We CAN do it!!!!!

VegasgalVS, I'm April 12th also! There's also a Facebook page for April 2013 sleevers. The settings are secret so you would need to contact Khloe and she can add you. There's a link somewhere in the pre-op section

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
