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!!

Home from the hospital today. They kept me an extra day due to not being able to pee. Feel pretty good, just sore because of the hernia he fixed. I am getting hungry but not ravenous. I did gain 6lbs but that must be from swelling and water weight. If anyone has any suggestions as to what to eat during the clear liquids stage other than broth, popsicles, chrystal light, G2, the usual would be greatly appreciated.

Krislaw so glad your home get well soon

Surgery was Tuesday and I was released today. Surgery had no complications but because I was so nauseated I had to stay because I was not meeting my fluid intake. Remember, sip, sip, sip.

I get sleeved in the morning and am so excited!! Thanks everyone for posting your experience. It's definitely helped me prepare.

Hello getting sleeved Tuesday 9/24/13

I had my surgery on Monday and it wasnt near as bad as i thought it was going to be came home yesterday and slept almost all night. Im only taking pain eds at night so I can get a good nights sleep. getting all my liquids and protein in is far from where it needs to be but im doing much better than i did while in hospital. One day at at time and I will get there! I hope all my other September sleevers and any other month for that matter are doing well!

I had my one week post-op doc appointment today and from what he said I'm doing great!!! It sure has been a long week though!

Glad u had a good experience Janie! Hope mine is just as good :-) sept 27th, getting very anxious and excited!

I'm on September 23rd in San Antonio. I'm getting scared of who I'll see in the mirror a few months after surgery. I'm also getting excited.

I came home yesterday...I had the worst gas pain.....once I had bowel movement I started to feel btter. Gas x is my best friend. I am walking a lot and sipping slow. Started full liquid today. The premiere protein shake is really good. Also remember to move...the pain does get easier.

Also achohol pads under nose stop nausea. That dry heaving was horrible

Im not thats just it LOL Ive only been getting in about 24 oz a day. I know my Dr doesnt expect me to come straight home and be able to go straight to drinking 64 oz a day. While in hospital I only had one bite of jello, one sip of broth and one sip of crystal light at each feeding and had nothing at all my last meal there I was packing to head home and didnt even touch it! I know it will all come in time and Im not to worried at this point.Oh and by the way the worst part for me was where I had my surgery at they weigh you before you go home I gained 11 pounds while there due to all the fluids in the iv.
