I'm scheduled for 2/6/14. Who else is getting sleeved in February?

You'll do great! I had mine done today, so if I can do it ( I was kind of a nervous wreck) you can do it too I wish you a speedy recovery!

Thank you Millergirl & Jencovi! They estimated 1.5 to 2 hours for surgery, double that if she has to repair a hiatal hernia. I am a Med/Surg RN at the hospital where I am having surgery, so I really know my surgeon and the nurses will be the same ones I work beside every day! That brings me a lot of comfort!

Congrats on surgery today! I hope you are recovering well!

You'll get these pain meds soon enough! And they are pretty good. I'm partial to the liquid ones, as they work on the pain faster and better. But I do wish for some BMs to happen. Hah. Appt for surgery is the 12th??

It's not my surgery. It's the nutritionist/ psych appointment. Then I'm done with all the requirements. Hopefully that is the day I schedule the surgery!!!

After a rough 5 days I think I'm going home today!!! Can't wait to be in my own bed this mattress sucks and my butt is sore lol

Congrats, Darriana! Man, you paid your dues! I hope you start feeling a lot better.

Well, LindseyHeth and the rest of our gang, I AM OFF TO SEE THE WIZARD! Dr. Gluck, of course! Surgery at 11:30...and I hope he is having a good day! I am pretty worried about not waking up.....well, at least if I don't wake up, I know I am doing the right thing...lol....i know I will be fine....just nerves. Today is the first day of the 3rd chapter in the rest of my life. Yippee!

I have 1 more day left of just clear liquids. I start my protein, pudding, yogurt, and creamy soups. Finally some flavor lol. Oh thanks for letting me know about " Gluck" my Dr. Was John Meilahn.

You're in good hands with him! I assume you're in surgery now, I'll keep you in my thoughts. Dr. Gluck is the best dude. You got this!

They moved my surgery to Thursday instead of Friday. I'm so nervous! Does anyone else have that "What if I die" thought? It's scary!

1 week post op and back to work today. YAY!!!! I was getting cabin fever. Also started pureed foods today and. They taste sooo good

You'll do great. And yes I think that thought is normal.

Oh yeah. I think everyone has that worry. But you'll be fine. Good luck!

I definitely had that thought. I was worried about leaving my daughter motherless at age 5. But I'm 8 days out and doing great! It's a normal thought. Don't worry, you'll be great!

Tomorrow is the big day. I'm nervous but excited but even more nervous. Lol
