Hey everybody! My date is Sept 3 for a band-to-sleeve revision with hernia repair. I am thinking of starting my pre-op diet earlier than 2 weeks out because I just keep on gaining and I feel yucky. Thoughts?

I'm feeling nervous!

Hi Sept 3 sleevers! How is everyone feeling? I'm doing okay so far. Going for my upper GI this morning and then I can begin sipping. Pain level

Is pretty good, just discomfort at the surgical sites.

I am feeling really good. Have my first 3 shot glasses of water to drink in the next hour.

I am doing ok too. Just had leak test and am now cleared to sip water. But I can only sip a tiny amount over an hour. We did it, are

On the other side! How is everyone else

Doing??

Sitting in radiology awaiting my leak test. Then I should be good to go.

I had my swallow test for leaks. No leaks found. I had bad diarrhea. I am finally starting to take sips of water. Should be getting a lunch tray with broth. Pain is not that bad. I have been passing gas. Just waiting for 6:00 to be discharged. Nurses are making sit up and walk.

Hey everyone... So glad to be on the other side! But honestly, in quite a bit of pain and having some nausea.. I had band removal, hietal hernia repair, sleeve, and removal of scar tissue. Had my leak test this morning and everything looks good. Sipping on fluids now...

Home now and missing my pain pump. Incision sites are pulling and painful. Ready to go to bed and try again tomorrow. Hopefully everyone has made it home?

I am home, too. The one hour drive killed me but a quick lay down helped.

I am still In Hospital. I have to drink a protein shake before they Let me go home. Still need

Pain meds. Have gas pains in chest and left shoulder. Hoping to be home this afternoon. Congrats to all of you who are home. This is going to be a long few weeks but every day should be better than the day before!

I am having slight to moderate nausea with the pain meds. At least I slept better last night.

I am still in the hospital. Planning to leave sometime today. Nausea and pain was HORRIBLE the last 2 days. Im feeling much better now. Incision sites are not painful anymore. i am dealing with the gas they used to inflate me. Im waiting for nature to take its course!

I came hope last night. Having a problem trying to get my protein shake down. A few sips down and I feel so much pain. I guess it's gas pains and I am burping it up. So I guess I am full. I only had a few sips. I am resting for now. Will try again in 1 hour. Does any one have any suggestions for me?

Hey there... Trapped gas is definitely the worst part for me too. I have been walking, taking the maximum allowed gas x strips, and desperately hope I will burp or pass gas. I feel like if this gas gets fixed I will feel pretty darn good!

I too am still having gas but it hasn't been terribly bad. Not getting much in before I feel tightness. Aiming for a few ounces every hour, but I'm not stressing about it at this point. I am on clears until Sunday, so it's just been jello, crystal light, isopure and broth. Pain meds have made a big difference in my level of comfort. I've been trying to use sparingly though.
