October Sleevers - Who else

I got my date (October 15th) and my insurance approval. I'm excited and nervous. Who else is being sleeved in October?

October 31st Halloween from Boston MA

October 31st Halloween from Boston MA

Where in Boston? I'm having mine done next week at BIDMC with Dr. Jones

Get it girl! I have been on a reduced calorie diet since the 30th' date=' but won't be starting my clear liquids until a week before, or 10/17.[/quote'] I won't be on clear liquids at all, just protein shakes. Of course, I have to be NPO after midnight, but no surgery til 1:45pm

October 11th is my date and I can't wait

On day 9 of the pre-op diet. It's been tough, but I'm pushing through. Surgery date Is Monday October 13th.

Ugh I'm day three of my liquid diet. The first two days I was totally fine but this morning I want to eat!!!

I find what works for me to keep my mind off of not actually eating is to keep busy. All the things I've procrastinated from doing are being checked off one by one.

October 14 - Michigan

So I just hung up with my surgeons scheduler..because I have to have a double surgery they are now looking to move me to another date other than 10/23. :-( maybe later...I just cannot even think about waiting one more day longer after all I've been through. The surgeon removing the cystic mass is the problem..but it has to come out it's causing too much pain and issues. *deep sigh

I'm so irritated. But I'm trusting God to handle this. My Bariatric surgeon is on my side she's not wanting to change it, and she says there's no way she's doing it 11/27 THE DAY BEFORE Thanksgiving like they wanted. The thing is there would be a skeletal staff there because if the holidays...No friggin way am I doing that.

Anywho, sorry I needed to vent...praying somehow this works out in my favor.

Update: I had my sleeve done thursday morning! Very hard at first lots of pain meds:) second say I got a fever and so much pain so here I am another night. So far everything is ok. I expected to feel very ful after fews sips of liquid but instaed I get pain and hiccups. Wondering if these things are normal?

Anyone else have this?

Anyone else have this?
I'm getting sharp pains today after sipping on liquids and I'm rubbing it down and then passing gas so I don't know not bothering me much. I just figure it my new stomach getting use to new activity...( Shrugs) It could be gas I'm about to go walking and see if it helps

Hey everyone! I am officially sleeved! I would've posted yesterday, but the WiFi was down at the OCC. Anyway just wanted to let you all know Raven and I came through surgery. No pain, but just lots of oral secretions and intermittent nausea for me but we're both doing great. Our whole group did wonderful :)
