Surgery tomorrow

Well the time is almost here, after a 7 month journey my time to be sleeved is just around the corner. In less than 24 hours my life will change forever. I have been on a clear liquid diet that started Saturday, it's been tough but not as tough as I had imagined it would be. Any advice is appreciated.

    You will do great. The first couple of days were rough, but each day it got better. Bring gas strips with you and chap stick, they were my life savers while I was in the hospital. I would not change m

  • Good luck! Can't wait to see how everything goes for you.

Bring a heat pad with you. It also helps with the gas pains. I slept with my electric heat pad on my abdomen or shoulder. Walking really does work! Good luck tomorrow

I am in the hospital surgery was 4 pm yesterday and I was recovery until 8 pm my surgery has been so easy that I almost don't believe I had it lol I had a Nausea patch placed behind my ear before surgery and have not felt nauseas yet. I'm a little tender when I get up or lay down but considering the facts this is nothing, I haven't had food since Friday or a drink since Sunday and its not nearly as bad as I thought :-)

I wish everyone has had the experience I have.

Just when I thought everything was going great i had the swallow test, first they said it was great and gave me some water. 10 mon later the Iraq came in and told me there may be a small leak that I have to go back in 2 hours for another test. I am freaking out they won't even tell me what happens of it is a leak which scares me even more. Please pray for me

I have read that they have to go back in if there is a leak. So I will pray for you that it doesn't have a leak. Hang in there. Let us know.

Thank you

Thank you so much for giving me some feedback. I hope I see 20 lbs gone soon ;-) my goal is to loose 93 so 20 in two weeks would be very motivational.

Don't get discouraged cuz I did :-( I was sleeved on 4/1, yesterday I was 2 weeks out n I weighted myself on Saturday n I only have lost 13lbs since surgery I was so disappointed (not to mention I stared my period on Saturday so I was kinda emotional) lol but hopefully I will start seeing more weight drop as other peeps have lost 20+ on their first 2 wks my journey has not been so. I hope once I'm off my period I will notice the difference. Also I started soft foods on Thursday so I think that's part of my stall :-(

Oh my I just read about the leak I will be praying for you!!!

It's confirmed I have a leak. I want everyone to know this can happen to anyone. I did everything right before and after and still got one day 2. Please keep praying for me.
