Im a Kaiser peep, using the South Sac location. My surgery date was changed from 10/2 to 11/6 due some health issues. But Im clear to go now and just have one last dr appointment for my post op diet class. Is anyone else in November or have kaiser? I had lots of peeps on my October list but now I have a new date and would love to have some others to follow along with and share our journeys..

Awesome! We will have to stay in touch and encourage each other.

Congrats! I'm the 13th also!

I'm on the other side. Had surgery at 8 this morning. Shoulder pain is terrible. Glad it's done though. Been up and walking some. But just want to sleep

Just had surgery yesterday. Being discharged now. In pain and super nauseous.

Had mine Tuesday. Gets a little better everyday. Hang in there

Any advice to the other November sleevers about to take that plunge???

@@Jazzyring1 i hope you feel better soon! congratulations for being on the other side!

Starting my pre-op diet today. 2 weeks and counting before surgery

I'm day 3 post op, lots of pain but getting better every day, glad to be on the other side of it. Really struggling to get protein AND water in.

@ jessiquoi thanks so much! @@Lauriep I'm on day 3 too and its so hard to get protein and water in. . Urgh I'm trying tho

@@Jazzyring1 I hear it gets easier

Anyone struggling with muscle spasms right at the large incision? Whoa... That is one thing I've not heard anyone talking about.

I don't necessarily have spasms from it but I get what feels like a sharp pinch inside that makes me wince each time. It is right above my belly button to the left side.

Yea, this is definitely a a spasm, it's like a Charlie horse right under the right breast. It sort of seizes and stays that way for a few seconds. It's rough. Heating pad seems to help.
