I'm sept 25. I'm very nervous. Ansthesia...just thought of being put to sleep makes me nervous! But I'm so ready for this surgery:) mix emotions I guess.

I was terrified until I had an EGD done a couple weeks ago. The anesthesia was the best sleep I've had in years. It's super hard for me to give up control and trust. I had to say some serious prayers. Now I'm glad I got it done because now I know somewhat what I can expect for my surgery.

Allembran....you'll do great! You're in my prayers. :-)

My surgery is September 23rd. I am very anxious which I partly why my blood pressure is high. I am very excited to begin this journey. I also start my pre-op diet on Monday the 10th.

I was sleeved 9/3. Didn't get off to a great start in the hospital, which I attribute to not getting pain meds on a regular basis. Was doing well enough to be discharged Thursday evening. At the time of discharge I was up to drinking 3.5oz per hour. My surgeon's plan had me gradually increasing to 8oz/hour by the end if that day. After getting home, everything slowly went down hill. I was stuck taking roxicet for pain instead of Lortab, because I had an allergy to liquid lortab. Roxicet seems very hard on my new tummy. That + nausea not controlled by the zofran led to less liquid intake and more misery. Throwing up recently postop does not feel good. I don't recommend it to anybody. Eventually got a new script for phenergran suppositories which yielded great sleep, but even less liquid intake. Ended up back in the hospital today. It's amazing how crappy dehydration can make you feel. After a couple of bags of fluids in the ER I was beginning to 2nd guess needing to be there. Luckily my wife doesn't have such a short term memory- and insisted that I be admitted. So, now I'm chilling out in the hospital for another day or 2. But, I'm hydrated and feeling much better. And, I get to focus on increasing my liquids by mouth, while getting all my drugs through an IV.

Sorry to hear that things are not going well for you, sending good thoughts your way that you are over the worst part.

I'm worried about being able to get my liquids and protein in also. My job is only allowing me to be off the Wednesday of my surgery and expects me to be back on Monday. I've done it before, but it was just a lap gallbladder...not something major like having the biggest part of my stomach cut out! They just don't understand!! I might just have to take the risk and call in sick for a few days to allow myself to get used to things!
