@@nanita0516 I will also be on clear liquids the day before surgery. Id say just stay strong and remember why you're doing this. My friend who is 3 days post op told me just follow the rules because all that will happen is you will be in more pain after surgery. She cheated and ate, she couldn't tell me enough how much she regret it. She is in way better shape now.

Follow the rules. Cheating hurts.

I'm booked in for 15th December 2014 and it can't come soon enough. I'm even a little disappointed that the surgery is later in the day. I just can't wait for it.

Looking for surgery buddies if anyone is interested.

Had my surgery Thursday morning and got discharged Friday around 5. Pain was awful the first day! Get lots of rest but get up and walk! Don't refuse the pain medicine, it's better to keep it under control than use it when it gets bad. I had a lot of pain in my chest but once I walked it went away. I also couldn't sleep so I got up and walked a lot. 3 other ladies got it done and they told me I walked more than them combined. Today I could keep all liquid down and only got nauseous when I got pain medicine. At the beginning its rough but you can get through it! Good luck to everyone! The first 48 hrs are the hardest! But remember the outcome in the hard times! Here for you all if you have questions or anything else!

Good luck Alfie

thank you sweetie. So I was sleeved on the 9th and just got released from the hospita today. I had some complications but we got through that and I am doing great. Kind of feel just like I did before but with no appitite.

Complication #1: I had a weak esophus with weak motility because of my lap band....so says my surgeoun. Because of that, I threw up for 2 1/2 days.

Complication #2: They hospital was not prepared to transition me over to their intravenious drugs as far as HBP, Blood Thinner. So they gave me hardly anything. In the meantime I had my oral meds but couldn't take them due to the vomiting fiasco. So after 36 hours with me constantly asking about my meds and them giving me a royal runaround I went into full bown Atrial Fibrillation. My HR was going up to 200 and was beating so irregular. I wound up telling them to take me to the cardiac care unit and to also call patient advocacy. When I made that request, thats when they finaly brought me a bag of beta block. But it was supposed to be given ever 6 hours and so every time it ran out and then 6 hours went by, I had to ask them. There was no automatically them giving me the meds. Typically, I'd wait for the 7th hours before asking. Yesterday, I had to be shocked back into rhythm.

I think a lot of hospitals are guity of this and people can die if they don't know to speak up. I could've had a stroke easily.

Aside from those setbacks I am feeling great lol. Really I am and I have no regrets.

Mine was Dec. 3rd. I am 10 days out and finally feeling like myself! There were a couple of really rough days, but I don't remember much about them now, kinda like childbirth. To those about to go for their surgery....just remember, sip, sip, sip, walk, walk, walk. That is all you have to do (and take your meds). It is kinda hard to get fluids in, and I haven't met my goal yet...but I will! I'm so excited to see what the new year will bring to everyone! Good luck!!!!

Good luck to everyone who has surgery on 15th - there seems to be quite a few of us (and everyone else of course).
