I'm having VSG on December 19th. Anyone wanna be buddies?

How is everyone doing? I am patiently waiting for Monday. Have to be there at 9:45.

Getting mani, pedi and hair done today. Last of my shopping too!

I'm doing alright. They kept me over another night due to elevated blood pressure, but I've been discharged and now I'm waiting on my ride.

Mama Spike, does your surgeon allow nail polish in the operating room? Mine made me remove my nail and toenail polish.

Clmftw-they told me toe nail polish was okay and no dark colors on fingers which I always buff my fingers. That sucks having to take them off. I am a nurse and there is no clinical reason to remove toe nail polish.

Mama spike- I was told if I did get mani /pedi to be sure my right big toe was free of polish day of surgery. I opted to wait until after surgery. I wish you the best Monday and will be thinking of you!!!

Clmftw - I'm glad your getting to head on home now and hope the extra day will aid in your recovery!

My surgery ended up being so late in the day due to a few before me taking a few hours longer than anticipated. 3-5 is when mine was and was suppose to be 10-10:30. I was moved to my room a little after 6 pm. I feel like I didn't get enough time in hospital to get the pain, gas management taken care of. I was discharged a little after 2 the following day. It has mostly been okay now, except for the annoying tightness in my chest! but last night the tightness in my chest kept me up till i finally took some Tylenol and fell asleep by 3 something.

I'm headed home .. They tried to send me home this morning, but I was so nauseas but now I'm ok

Barefeet-glad you are home!! Y'all stayed the night. They today me I would go home the same day. A little nervous!

Mama spike I would have been nervous to go h ok me same day.. I almost stayed 2nd night just because of the nausea.

I think I have that under control and now I'm just working on getting liquids in...I have one Isopure that isn't bad, like strawberry banana or something similar. The alternating that with Crystal lite and Water... ready for some broth tonight.

I found a clear Protein drink that my new tummy tolerates! Isopure makes a Protein Drink that's clear. It's $5 a bottle but it has 40 grams of protein per bottle. I'll probably be sipping on it all day.

What's the name?

I bought some isopure but I haven't tried it. I am liking the muscle milk light.

Surgery tomorrow at 10:45. Talk to y'all on the flip side!

I think you are the last one of us to go... good luck.

Thinking of you mama spike, have a restful night.

Hi, I'm in the DFW area. (Mansfield) Scheduled for December 31st at 1:30PM. Baylor Trophy Club. I see that you guys surgery dates have passed, but I'm a week away and looking for a buddy. My surgeon is Dr. Sina Matin. I'm on day 7 of my pre-op diet. It is a little hard but I'm making it! Need to invest in a scale, didn't want to become obsessed so I have been going by my weight at each appt. The last surgeon consult is today.

All the nurses and staff at Trophy Club are absolute dolls! They took SUCH great care of me! I love that little hospi.
