Yay! Well as far as my case they wheeled me in the OR said Hi, then bam out! No warning no nothing just out and Back awake...simple as that. Odd kinda!

Yeah, they just wheeled me into the operating room and told me to put my ars in a certain spot and don't even remember putting my head down. When I woke up, it was over... piece of cake.

No. Didn't know, didn't see... I was sleepin'

Doubt if they would allow videos for legal reasons, I imagine.

My husband was with me until they took me away for surgery. The IVs with the pain meds were in.

And do they put the tube in after you get into the OR? Sorry for so many questions. I'm already an over analyzer, have anxiety and now I'm just scared lol!

I really don't know.

Just relax and go with the flow.

The last thing I remember before going out was the anesthesiologist. He said he was going to use the same medicine that Michael Jackson died of to put me out. Then I woke up in a state of confusion. I pulled the oxygen tubes from my nose and was trying to yank my IV out. It took me a minute to remember where I was and why.

I've not had my WLS yet, but I have had more than my share of surgeries, and you are not awake when they insert the tube down your throat. That would be aweful! Just relax, and enjoy the nap.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
