I'm scheduled for surgery finally!!! June 30th and I'm starting to get really nervous!

Good luck to us all tomorrow! I am spending most of the day today with my husband and two toddlers, then a painting date with my best friend. I woke up crazily hungry today but am doing well otherwise. Must be at hospital at 5 am for 7 am surgery. I hope everyone's procedure is complication free and the recovery is smooth.

Thanks eversum for the advice. Good luck to you also Steph. I will let you know how it goes after. Enjoy your day;)

Good luck to y'all tomorrow! I was supposed to have my surgery done tomorrow, too, but complications with insurance & the surgery center have postponed it for a few weeks.

I'm going in tomorrow as well, 5:30 am. I'm assuming my surgery will be around 7. I'm very nervous and very excited and I just hope that everything goes well. Good luck to all of you!

Hello June 30th Sleevers,

I'm wishing the best to all of you tomorrow!!! Please post when you are able to let us July sleevers know those last minute details!!! July 2 is my date!

Tomorrow is our day, good luck to all the June 30th Sleevers. I have to be at the hospital at 5:30 am, 7:30 am surgery.

Today is the day!! I am nervous and emotional. That's normal right? Praying all goes well for all the 6-30-14 sleeves!!!

Good luck!!!

I made it through surgery just fine;)) was not nauseous. No gas pain. Was in some pain right after, but I'm on good pain meds and morphine button. No sign of leakage. Did the blue ice chips. They will have me do it again in the morning. I did get up and walked the halls before i came back to bed for the night. So all in all not bad at all. I will keep everybody posted. I hope all other 30th sleevers are doing good.

My surgery went well and I was home by 5 pm. The pain when I first woke up was excruciating. I think it was gas pain and it radiated all around me. Walking did help.

I have to go back at 12:30 today to have the drain removed. It has by far been the grossest and most annoying part.

Lastly one of my incision spots on the left is super swollen with a red circle around it... I am hoping that is not indicative of any issue

Hope everyone else is doing well! I'm glad to be on the other side!

Wow. They let u go home early. I'm still in the hospital. They said I would stay another night. To make sure everything is good. So far all is good. Doing my blue ice check again this morning. No leaks!!! Hope you are going good.

They let me go this afternoon. ..however I'm have really bad gas pains in my right shoulder...if this normal? And how do I get rid of it bc it's awful

I took the gas x strips when I had the gas pain. Walking seems to do the most to get rid of it though! Good luck!

Sitting up in a chair. Earlier I had my first bowel movement. The suppository the nurse put in last night did the trick. So that said, they said I would be able to go home later today. Still real sore. Stomach muscle. Can't wait for that to subside. Hope everybody is doing well.

Hello all June 30 sleevers! My surgery went as planned on Monday. I spent one night in the hospital and was released Tuesday evening (around 6:30). I have been at my mom's house since, and I'm feeling pretty great. My surgeon doesn't put in a drain anymore (unless he thinks you really need it), so I'm happy about that. I'm able to get around just fine, tolerating the liquid diet without a problem, and getting in enough Protein and fluids. Other then some residual pain, I feel pretty great!

Hood you're all doing well!
