    Is anyone interested in a secret group on Facebook? I find FB easer to use then this app and it would be a great way to keep up with all November sleevers. Also secret groups are completely private so

    Can my FB friends see if I belong to that group? If so I don't want to join. I just don't want my surgery broadcasted.

Found you! :)

Hi,

I am also on Nov. 4th. Just started the liquid pre-op diet yesterday. I'm hungry. My only worry about the surgery is the nausea. General Anesthesia always makes me pukey!

Me too! Anesthesia and pain killers. I swore I'd never have surgery again but this is important.

I agree about the pain killers too. Am hoping to get scopolamine patch and put on the night before. Also going to tell them I don't want narcotic pain meds. There are other alternatives. I am in Wisconsin, where are you?

I live in Florida but I'm having my surgery in Mexico. I've already asked about not using narcotics and they said it wouldn't be a problem. Also, the surgeon prefers we walk to alleviate pain. I'm all for natural remedies!

As far as nausea after anesthesia, just ask the doctor to put some of the anti-nausea medication in your IV. I told them about how I got sick one time after surgery (different situation than WLS) and the surgeon made sure the anesthesiologist put the anti-nausea meds into the IV drip. Solved all problems there.

I'm on my 5th (of 14) pre-op diet day. The first four days were a bear and a half. I was starving!! All I'm allowed is up to four Protein shakes and Clear liquids (broth, sugar free popsicles, etc.) and I couldn't stop eating popsicles, sugar-free Jello, etc. and it wasn't calming things down. Thankfully day 5 has been so much better!!

I went through days of battling my own mental battles about having WLS even after getting myself ready for it all. I found I wasn't prepared for the drastic reduction in intake. But it has gotten better and now I know I can do this!!

November 4th is my main focus---the day of surgery!! and start of a new frontier.

I am November 10th. Start 2 week pre op diet in the morning. Excited but also nervous. Would love to be in on secret facebook page. What info do you need?

If you could add me as a friend on Facebook, I'll add you to the group. Just send me a message and a friend request. :) thanks! Vanessa Goodale Heyde

Yeahhh, I'm so exited for us :)

I'm in Wenatchee , and getting sleeved in Everett at the NWWLS. How about you?

I live in Shoreline (just north of Seattle) but I'm getting sleeved in Mexico. Who is doing your surgery? My husband got the lap band at NWWLS
