For anyone who has been sleeved already this month I wanted to know if someone could kind of walk me through the process once you get to the hospital. My surgery is on 4/23 and I'm a stickler for detail, it's driving me crazy that I don't know what to expect. I know hospitals operate differently but just would like to hear other experiences on what happens between checking in and actually being rolled into the E.R...

My arrival was pretty strait forward. I had done the pre op the day before and took care of payment. So on surgery day they took me to a bed with a curtain around it and gave me a gown to change into. Then they started my iv, put the heart monitor pads on, and bp cuff. Several people came by with more paperwork and asking me what i was here for to make sure i understand. But my surgeon was running late so that was the worst part! Just waiting! I'm thinking hey i could just get out of here and have some pancakes! Lol. Of course i did not do that. When he arrived they came and got me. Gave me some iv med to get me started and asked me to swallow some medicine. I remember getting to the or and that's it. Next thing I know I'm in recovery burping like crazy. Pain from the gas and nausea.

I know hospitals operate differently but just would like to hear other experiences on what happens between checking in and actually being rolled into the E.R...

My process was pretty fast. My surgery was scheduled for 1130am on 4/17 and I arrived by 9am to start the processing. Once I arrived I was taken to a lab tech room where I was asked what procedure I was having and needed to verify my name and birthday. Once I got through with questions, I was told to take all my clothing off and put on a hospital gown with white compression stockings. Afterwards a nurse asked me to pee in a cup to validate not being pregnant for the anesthesia doc. Once that was cleared I was then threaded for an IV. My doctor and nurse came in to answer any last questions. After they left I was escorted to the operating table (yes I had to walk lol). Once I made it to my room I was given some soothing medicine through my IV. The surgery assistant placed an oxygen masked over my nose where I then fell off to a deep sleep.

I awoke in the recovery room soar and out of it. I asked for something for the pain. I was taken to my personal room fot further maintenance. The surgery as a result was very successful and fast. My team of nurses made me very comfortable and answered all my questions. That same night I was walking with one of the nurses in order to ensure the best recovery.

The next day I went to an xray room and had to drink a clear Fluid to determine if there were any leaks in my sleeve. Upon passing this test I was brought broth and Jello for Breakfast. A few hours went by and the catheter which was placed while under was finally removed. I had to void or use the restroom on my own before I would be discharged. It took me a while to use the bathroom but as soon as I did... I was discharge! Hope this helps!

Thx so much JustMe and Sha! I'm glad I know what to possible expect, that helps a lot. I've read so much about the actual procedure and the after care but then I realized I didn't know that to expect before. Most ppl don't care too much about that part but I guess I'm a weirdo like that lok

I'm a ball of nerves...I've been having overactive anxiety issues for the first time since this process began. I have 3 more days. I pray for no complications and a stellar recovery for myself and all to follow..

      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?
