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?

Honestly I don't know how many I have. I have a drain and one port whole on my side that hurts the most the ones on my tummy I don't feel

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 have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
