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

Well im about to go in . So nervous right now. Im so lucky to have a great dr. Starting weight 326 current weight 289.... see yah on the other side

I'm second day liquid diet. This is hard! 8.5 days to go.

Yes, it definitely was and still is a challenge for me. Some good days and some blown days. Dang it. Good luck, Keep trying to go hard everyday.

Finally got my surgical date! 28 Oct can't come soon enough!

Hope everyone is doing good! Tomorrow will be two weeks since my surgery. I'm feeling good, some pain in my left side here an there. Doc said its normal that's we're my stomach is healing. I wish everyone best of luck. It's an amazing journey that has had challenges. The liquid diet for two weeks pre op and then two weeks post op is not easy. Just try to keep the faith and know it will all pay off. I get to move to puréed foods tomorrow and I'm excited for this next step. Just remember. We didn't put the weight on over night, and it will take time to see it come off. We will enjoy food again, just with smarter choices and smaller portions. I'm trying to stay positive and enjoy my journey! Best of luck everyone!

Just had my surgery- everything went really well!!!

You should call your surgeon if the pain isn't getting better. Call them asap, it could be a sign of some kind of complication and you need to get it ruled out

I got this pain 3 days after surgery and they did USG and didn't show anything

Just had my surgery- everything went really well!!!

Congrats....glad it went well for you!!! Speedy recovery....

Aggi, you have to be more descriptive. If your talking about the gas pain yes and you need to walk. If not call your doctor. I see some people on here have pain postop and some don't- I personally think physician technique may also play a part in postop pain since they all do things different. Plus we are all different and have different pain tolerance too so just saying I'm having pain is too general. I'm just about as far out as you and still having gas pain under my rib cage in my chest daily intermittently, especially noticeable when I wake up, but once I get moving, I feel better. And when I take my first sips of the day, my new tummy protests. If I'm in pain, my doctor cleared me to take Tylenol 3 times daily which totally works and is all I need (I measure an adult dose of the liquid children's form). But anytime you aren't sure about something, always consult your physician since no one knows how bad you feel but you. Sorry it's the nurse in me {)i(} Sent from my iPhone using VST {)i(}

hey my pain is on my right side (not the drain side) and is under my rib cage in one spot stubbing to the point I am having trouble breathing but hurts only when I walk and breathe

I've had Greek yogurt, jello, cream strained soups, broth, sugar free Popsicle, my treat from Starbucks, decaf coffee, sugar free mocha, with soy milk. Yummy! That was after a week. Oh and yon ton soup broth! Amazing! My family went to Chinese and my nurse suggested that it miso soup. It was yummy. Smoothie banana cut in half, two spoon of Greek yogurt, and a splash of unsweetened almond milk, was good for breakfast. I was not able to have skim milk after. Didn't agree with my tummy. Almond milk works good.

I'm in Slidell, La.... My doctor is Dr. Lavin.....

Oct 3rd of last yr. down 200 lbs. congrats and good luck

Wow Frank69, Good Job!!!

I am new to the site and my surgery date is October 24th in Richmond, VA. The surgeon in Elias Bautista. I am excited and nervous at the same time. The pre-op diet is harsh but I am doing good so far.

I'm scheduled for Oct 22 with Dr. Sudan in Raleigh. Any others in my neck of the woods?
