Surgery later today-still awake at 1am' date=' have to get up at 5am to leave by 6am for 8am check in at Swedish (darn traffic!). Surgery is at 10:40am and my husband will be staying overnight in the hospital with me. I have been nervous at times, but my way of coping with things I don't like (dentist etc) is to put them off until I absolutely have to- which will mean when I have to put on that hospital gown. I take a page out of Scarlett O'Hara's playbook and say "I'll think about that tomorrow". Working so far! Skin feels dry from that darned hospital soap- sensitive skin. More later! Good luck all you July 2nd folks![/quote']

Happy Sleeve Day to you!

Keep us posted, all the best to you.

Okay, I'm getting ready to leave here in about an hour to go to the surgery center. I'm excited and scared at the same time.

I was sleeved on the 1st at 8:00... They sent me home this evening because main pain level was down to a 5, I passed by swallow test, and I was able to keep 3 hours of liquids down. I had a three hour, MISERABLE ride home. Now pain is back at a 10 and the crushable painkillers are NOTHING like the IV stuff. :( Just took a shower and cried through the whole thing. The gas hurts, I can't tell if the Gas X is helping. Mainly my stomach & incisions HURT! I feel like they are going to rip out. Enormous amounts of pressure.

      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!

      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!!
