I let the anesthesiologist know I've has problems with post op nausea in the past and he took really good care of me and I haven't has any. I've got a dilaudid PCA and it works terrifically! Just once or tonight then ill walk more tomorrow, get the ng tube from my nose, and do my leak test. Wish me luck :D[/quote']

April 29th! I am still scared of the pre op diet. I'm trying to go caffeine free now, to lesson the stress and impact!

Thank you, and good luck to you. I just wanted to share a suggestion for sleevers, your throat gets really sore from the tube and if they leave an NG tube in to suck blood out of your stomach over night. I requested a chloroseptic spray for my throat and they approved it and brought some in. Ahhh momentarily relief, lol. Now back to sleep. Zzzzz

I'm having surgery on Thursday. (YAY!) one question I keep forgetting to ask...approximately how long does the procedure take?

The actual procedure is around 1 1/2 to 2 hour, buy you'd be in the OR for around 3 hours for all the prep work and stabilizing your breathing and sedating you. Then you go to PACE for like 1 to 2 hours to recover from anesthesia, then up to your room :D. Hope that helps.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
