I was sleeved 5/29...I awoke pretty nauseated but they gave me a shot right away and it took care of it. No pain at all even 6 days post op. Just stomach spasams. Good luck to you guys! I have to say my experience with surgery and the overnights were great!

Those legs are NOT fat! Am I the only one with fat legs too? :( Good luck to you! Please keep us posted.....we'll all be thinking of you!

I have very fat legs :( you are not alone....and I was thinking the same thing, lol

Thank you for having fat legs too! :D Whew! Thought I was the ONLY one!

Lol-

My stomach is all messed up. I think from nerves and not eating normally. My show time is 1030 TOMMORROW w surgery at noon. I am happy but know I will be starving like crazy again for hours.

I'm not sure why my phone capitalized Tomm.

WHAT??! What happened? Weren't you supposed to have surgery this morning? I'm so sorry! That must be awful to have to psych yourself out again for tomorrow?

LOL....NO you are definitely NOT the only one! Good luck on your surgery!@ Will watch for you to reappear and let us know how you are doing!

It's unbelievable, but the OR lost power right before they were going to call me back. I had been there for hours & had 2 bags of IV Fluid.

I'm not scheduled until noon so I'm going to try & stay up really late. That way I don't have to sit & starve all morning...

Oh wow! Well then thank God you weren't in the middle of surgery when they lost power! :o I will say a prayer for you that everything runs smoothly tomorrow & that you won't feel hungry. Good luck akmys!

Thank you so much. I really appreciate that. :0)

Did any of you get the shot before they put the IV in? The last surgery I had I wussed out and got the numbing baby shot in my hand which some people say isn't worth it cause the shot hurts about the same as the IV lol

I did receive a shot of lidocaine before the IV was placed. I also had some medicine I had inhale through my mouth to numb my throat, that way my throat would not be sore after surgery. And my throat isn't sore. Mouth extremely dry.

I will be starting my liquids at 6 am
