Mine is the 24th..what city?

Only 6 more days to go for me now! So excited!

Bags are packed prescriptions filled come on Monday I'm ready for my journey????????

I'm day three post op and understand doing pretty good! I just worry about dehydration cuz I'm home now and so no more saline drip. My pain isn't bad just uncomfortable. I weigh 5 pounds more than when I started but I suppose it's gas! I'm only burping. So all of you waiting out there try not to be nervous. Have them stay on top of your pain meds and nausea medicine and you'll be fine!

I'm on day 4 post-op. It's was a tough first couple days but it is definitely getting better. Having a hard time with liquids. Each sip makes me burp like I chugged some beer or soda. It's so painful. Can't sleep more than a couple hours at a time. I'm walking at least 30 mins a day. I do feel weak though. Any tips?

Mine is on March 31st as well!!! So excited!!!

Five days into preop diet and I've had a two day headache. Gave up caffeine soda and fast food six months ago and have been doing shakes for a few months. Input or suggestions?

How's your water intake? Are you getting at least 64oz?

Yup doing about 80oz. Sip sip sip. Might be the weather with the spring snow. Just finished at the gym and it eased up a little. Said screw it and took some excedrine too.

Not drinking enough! Dehydration does that

It could be allergies, how did the excedrine work? Next time try tyenol because excederine has aspirin (blood thinner) in it, I know my doc has me off all those types of meds until after surgery. Hope you are feeling better

@ You know i haven't done my Flonase in awhile. The gym did seem to help strangely enough.

Yeah i have to stop NSADs before surgery. Not happy about it. Crushed vertebrae and hip replaced, Celebrex got me off pain meds. I know the weight loss will make it more tolerable but it's a point I'm going to argue.

I had surgery yesterday and I am home now. Everything went well but I did get a lot of nausea & I still have terrible pain and pressure from the gas. I did a lot of walking but the gas won't move down from my chest. Any suggestions? I am still walking.

Had my sleeve on Tuesday and was home on Wednesday. Still have a lot of pain on my right side, but no nausea at. Not hungry at all, but make myself estx I have been drinking lots of water, so I don't dehydrate.
