Im September 16th....I havent been in hospital for 22 years to the date and that was for the birth of my twin boys who were born 09/16/91.

This surgery will also be a life changing experience for me!!

My pre op appointment is in the morning and I have surgery on Monday' date=' I am so excited for my new life to start. It seems like it has taken forever to get to this date. Good luck to all the other September sleevers and to those who have already had it I hope your having an easy recovery![/quote']

Good luck to you!!!! I'm the next Monday after you.

My surgery is on Monday and I've had a sore throat for the last 2 days. No bueno! I don't feel sick and haven't had a fever or any congestion so I'm pretty sure it's just my allergies combined with the gross air since California seems to be on fire these days. Hoping this gets better by Monday!

I was sleeved on Monday 9/9, came home yesterday! On full liquids. Doing good at getting in fld but not the cream soups or yogurt, only able to do one of the 2 tbsp. Drinking chocolate Shakeology with skim milk for my protein shake which one 8 oz shake comes to 25 grams of protein. Immediately after surgery I had severe nausea but that subsided with meds about 4 hrs post op.. Had a little nausea today but took a Zofran. Pain has been very manageable which has really surprised me and so far I'm

Taking only 2 doses of pain meds a day. I walked around the house today and also to the end of my drive and back then unloaded and loaded the dishwasher and I was tired . I feel like I am doing well with a good recovery. One thing to mention is I gained 8 pounds since surgery being pumped with all the fluids, that was kind of hard to take but as of this morning had already lost 5 of that. My stats are below:

Please share how the rest of you are doing!

Highest wt-271

Wt before pre-op diet: 268.2

Surgery day: 257

4 days post op-259

I will be having surgery on Tuesday.. TodayI feel bad had a slice of turkey meat on some spinach and one cup of rice..having a hard time.. Hope its ok.. :-)

Good afternoon all. Had my surgery on Tues, 10th. Got home today from Mexico. Dr Alvarez did my surgery and found a hernia. So glad he did, and fixed it. All in all, it has gone well. I am retaining a lot of fluid, trying to walk a lot, well, not really a lot, but enough for now. I have tightness in my chest, which I should expect from the hernia repair. No nausea, vomiting, weakness or dizziness. Getting my water down as much as possible. I am going forward with all positive thoughts....not going to get upset if I don't get every ounce of water in, etc. Don't be hard on yourself, get plenty of rest, move around to keep the fluids moving.

Will check back in later.....for all you guys waiting for your date, it will be here before you know it. Oh, and last thought, stay away from the scale for a little while.
