Whos in September? We need some September buddies!

Surgery was 9/11 for sleeve...I feel great getting better everyday. I am just having a burning sensation with my bottom incision, I literally have to hold it when I walk. Did anyone else have this? Could not go thru belly button cause I just had emergency strangulated hernia repair three weeks earlier.

I'm awake in my room. Thirsty as all get out, but nurse says I have to go easy on the ice chips. Pain isn't to bad, gas sucks and ie hurts a bit to take a deep breath

Okay, so I really need a buddy! LOL! My surgery is tomorrow and I am absolutely freaking out! I'm wondering if I'm even doing the right thing! I'm starving and flipping out! But my surgery is tomorrow - they still haven't called me with the time yet though. How does the whole buddy thing work anyway? :ph34r:

Mine is tomorrow also, you will be fine! It's the start of the new you. Maybe try some unsweetened almond milk with your Protein.

4 hour till I have to report to hospital. I am surprisingly calm. Have prayed to God to watch over me and I know that he controls all things. This surgery was meant to be for me. I'm going to lay back down for another hour then i will get up and prepare.

I was sleeved at the same day .. still not able to "go" ... any advice will be appreciated! Amazef with your smoth recovery!

Do what you can to take something to say and your insides. I just went through that this past week. I was sleeved on the third. Was going but very little. Yesterday was this capper. It was a flipping nightmare. So do what you can to keep things soft. We are not getting enough fat or fluids to keep everything moving. So ask your doctor what you should take. It's really ugly if it's if you haven't gone for a long time

I made it through on the 16th. Definitely hurts to take any kind of deep breath! Using the spirometer thing is not easy. Otherwise all is ok.
