I finally have my surgery date (8/14) and I am beyond excited. Looking for some sleeve buddies to go through this process with. I have been making changes already and so far so good. I have increased my activity level and stopped drinking Diet Dr Pepper, which was a huge change for me. What is everyone else doing to prepare? Does anyone who is post op have any helpful tips for things to have on hand after surgery?

Got a call from the hospital this evening.. Surgery moved up.. Have to be there at 11:10 and surgery at 12:10.. Not moved up by much.. But hey I will take an hour.. Good luck tomorrow to all of my fellow 27th sleevers..

and keep me posted

Wishing you so much luck on your big day! I have seen so many good luck posts you have made to others and I thought to myself I hope I get to wish you good luck when your day comes!

Good luck Mich, NotLookinBack, MrzDivah, nervousnelly, Mocha2871!!!!

Thanks many blessings

Thank you and my thoughts and prayers are with everyone making the change to a better life on the 27th.

well today's the day I'm going in at 1030 this morning my surgery is scheduled for noon. feeling nervous but determined. thank you for all your wonderful support. I like with the one who said that we will save our life with the most complex surgery if we are in a life threatening condition. as I see it, I am in a life-threatening condition if I continue to be obese. no matter what happens I know that at least I tried to save my own life.

love and prayers.

U will be fine. Got mine last wed. Give it to tomorrow u will feel better.

I am sleeved!! I'm 3 days out and I feel like I have a fever. I check my temperature like every second and its below 100. Anyone have this issue?

Had the same issue and even almost 2 weeks post op still running 99 to 99.9 but feel ok. Surgeon said and my pcp said this can be normal for some. But if worried give your surgeon a call!

I was sleeved 8/6 and try to eat regular food per my doc' date=' and after 2 oz of protein my head hurts and face gets hot, and chest gas pain, so odd.[/quote']

I get hot/flushed and sweaty when I eat too fast or too much- so I can kind of relate!

I was sleeved 8/5 and really haven't lost anything since the 1st week being home. I'm down 17 pds and haven't lost anything .

Don't stress....had a similar 10 day period. Keep your protein and water up and stay off the scale for a bit. Mine was a combination of my body "holding" onto water and calories. In addition a little pre-menstrual bloating. I plowed through (and got off the scale) and a week later....5 lbs down . Remember to keep track of non scale victories, loser clothing (and shoes - go figure). In a couple of weeks you will be starting to settle into your life change and love the results!

I'm having a down moment. Was doing really well and had lost 20lbs post- op. Now, all of sudden I'm gaining and my stomach looks bigger! My diet hasn't changed. Still in the first 3 weeks liquid diet and have even managed to start walking regularly so what's going on? I got my period 2 weeks early just 48 hrs after surgery so wondering if maybe my body is gearing up for another even though it shouldn't be. Any thoughts?

Also, anyone had 'slough' on any of their incisions? My surgeon put pressure dressing on after surgery and the bloody nurse on the ward removed it just before I was discharged. Surgeon wasn't happy when he found out and had problems with one side of the incision healing from that point forward. Going back to him tomorrow. Why do people have to interfere!

Oh meee too. I got mine on 8/12 and lost 17lbs but nothing since and it's been 3 weeks idk why.

F****ng frustrating, isn't it!

I just read somewhere about a 3 week stall. Is it possible to have this at 2 weeks? That's what seems to have happened to me......
