My surgery is tomorrow 7 am.. Any advice? I'm worried about the pain.. Do you feel full faster?

I had mine yesterday at 6am and they just gave me liquids about an hour ago, I'm not hungry at all. And I'm full off one little medicine cup of Water haha my advice is to bring aquaphor or Vaseline or something because your lips get soooo chapped! And definitely tell them when you're in pain or nauseous, they will help for sure

Congrats!!!!! Prayers that all will be well!!!!

My surgery is tomorrow. I am to be at the hospital at 12:45 and surgery is scheduled for 2:19...yes, not 2:20 but 2:19, why I don't know! I'm getting really nervous and anxious now! I have my bag all packed and ready to go. Now I just have to wait for 10 a.m. to be on my way. Hospital is just a little over 2 hours away!

Thanks! Hopefully everything comes through ASAP. I've been a ball of emotions. Anxious, nervous, excited...all in one. Scared to shop for anything, but I know I'll need new everything in stages. I guess my summer wardrobe will be cute tees, maxi skirts and workout gear.

That is wonderful Wickedbeauty, I am so glad that you have your approval. I am waiting on my date as well. I have had my approval from the insurance for a while, was waiting on my stress test results (which got lost...). My appointment for pre-op is April 14 and I hope to get my surgery date then. I can not wait to make this change in my life.

I had mine yesterday, much easier than anticipated. Ask me any questions you may have!

I was told I will have 6 port holes, 4 smaller and 2 a little larger. How many did you have? Did you have a drain in?

Congrats! Hate to tell you this, but that gas probably will exit the other end..lol

You might feel worse, for a couple of days, peaking at about 72 hrs, but then you'll start feeling a little better each day.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
