Best of luck to you Jackiemarie

My surgery is the 24th

You too Masf1220!

Made it thru surgery! Took about 2 hours

Had the sleeve & hernia. Doing ok, on oxygen about 2 hours after, some gas pain, went to the bathroom. Already & up on my feet walking in my room twice. Still light headed, so they said no laps quite yet. It's still early. So there's still a lot that could happen. Time will tell. Just remember while in the hospital to Breath Deep as you can, it helps with the gas pain. Move you feet while in bed or sitting, helps prevent clots. & walk ASAP

Good Luck to everyone that's doing the surgery today. & any other time.

Congrats to your surgery, I'm glad to hear all is good so far. Thank you for the update and looking forward to many more.

Congratulations on making out good through your surgery.

Good luck to everyone having their surgery today!!

I'm new to the site' date=' kind of new to this whole thing all around. My nutritionist recommended surgery July 18th, and it's scheduled for next week, Sept 18th. All the tests are done, insurance approved, meeting with the surgeon and nutritionist one last time tomorrow. I can't believe how much my life is changing in just two months.

Luckily I only have one day of liquids-only pre-op. Oh and I'm from Illinois. Looking forward to keeping in touch with all of you September Sleevers out there so we can help each other along :)[/quote']

I am the 18th too! I wrote the 20th earlier - I have no idea why lol. I only have one day of pre-op too! In MA for surgery. Best of luck to all!
