finally after all that running around I got a date. Im scheduled for January 20th, 2014 with Dr Koshy at St Lukes Hospital. Thats in NY. I was expecting a sooner date but he will be on vacation on December.

I am so glad to finally have my date. what about you guys? anyone else has a date for January?

Share it!

My surgery went very good, not a lot of pain, just feel a little bloated from all the air inside of me, women should have no problem in that department, I am home just chilling now, they get you in and out, 1 or 2 days in the hoists and you r home

How did it go?

I'm male, 42 - Altho I'm home sipping only water every few mins I still feel sore/raw inside esp on my left where the stomach was cut off! Can't cough properly - everything hurts when I try, so I use a pillow to hold on to all the mass when attempting to cough! I could not swallow too much on the first night becoz I also got my Hiatus Hernia repaired with a stitch on the diaphragm tear so stayed on IV fluids for an extra day. Now that I can put in 10/20 ml of water without any pain every 5 mins I was sent home. Start tender coconut water tomorrow

Friday I start my liquid diet

Monday is my date

I've been sick these past few days so I haven't really ate anything but a bowl of soup and crackers and drinking fluids then i ate a chicken salad today idk if that's good or not but tomorrow I will def start guzzling down my protein shakes. 0_o

lisal3e...best wishes for your surgery & speedy recovery...1/13/14 is my date too!

Got my surgery date!! 1/27/14. After an 8 month process I am ready to go. Feeling really excited mixed with a some nervousness. Good luck to all my fellow January Sleevers!!!

Congrats Brandi7011! Looks like you have had a long wait as well. Are you getting the sleeve or lap-band. I noticed you info under your name said lap-band thats all. Not that it makes a differance either way. Good luck!

Wow i must of had the underline turned on. Sorry!

Hi! Yes it's been a long wait! I am having the sleeve. I am not sure why it says lap band or even how to change that. How about you, how long was your wait?

Re-NUDE, yes band removal and VSG in the same surgery. Dr Hanna does these as an outpatient procedure.

I've been at this since late May of 2013. I'm being sleved on the 13th so really excited to get this show on the road. You can make changes by going into you profile. However, it is not required nor important if you choose not too.

You don't have to guzzle down on anything! Slow down! Fluids like plain water, chicken & vegetable soup are more than sufficient! I just got done on 7th n home today - sipping on only water all day for now.

I just thought because I haven't been drinking them like I should everyday I'm kind of behind lol But thanks ill just consume 2 shakes a day one of them are suppose to be a meal replacement

Congrats to all those already sleeved! it's so great to hear your successful surgery stories and how well you all are doing!
