Thanks for all the advice, everyone! Can't believe I'll be sleeved tomorrow afternoon!

I go in tomorrow! Wish me luck! Any last minute advice for calming nerves at the hospital?

I have no Idea how I'm going to calm my nerves at the hospital, but I'm hoping lots of deep breathes will help...

I found it is helpful to think of ALL the people who studied, went to years of university etc etc so that they can ALL help you through this. Nurses, anesthesiologists, doctors, internists... Every single one of them is there to help you! And you are their focus. And they are all there to give you the very best treatment and use all their education and skill to help you from start to finish. YOU'RE IN GREAT HANDS!

They'll give you a sedative in your IV. That'll calm you right down. Keep breathing. See you on the other side.

Hi everyone!! Just got sleeved on 5/21 and am on Clear liquids (hopefully) until only Thursday's follow up appointment. I am absolutely STARVING!! I have had this constant hunger since the day of surgery.

My only problem (besides hunger pains) was nausea for first two days. Other than that -- not much pain.

I'm looking forward to moving to puréed foods!!! Any suggestions or recipes?

Hey guys. I'm going in for surgery tomorrow morning. Wish me luck! Side note: I only had to do 2 days of pre-op liquid diet and it was EXTREMELY difficult for me. I feel bad complaining because I have read about some people having to do 3 whole weeks of liquid before surgery. Anyway I'm a little nervous but I know this surgery is the right decision. Let the losing begin.

Good Luck!! You'll do great. I had it this past Thursday and have had no pain. I was nauseated, but only periodically for two days. I'm just sooooooooo hungry!! Lol

Sleeved the 19th and haven't had anything yet. I haven't felt anything. No bloating or discomfort, just nothing. Not sure if I should be concerned or let it happen when it happens.

[Katie K Kitt 12]

Yes everything goes right through me!

thanks so much for asking! I had mine today around 1 and I'm doing great! Pretty sore around the scars but the pain meds are helping a lot with that! Haven't been able to walk as much as I would like to because of lightheaded ness but hopefully with more Water in me tomorrow it will be easier

i've had plenty, but am proud to say I am now brown and normal. Vs black, tarry, explosive, etc. see previous posts of mine. After this long, I suggest talking with your care team and/or introduce a small amount of Miralax into morning drinks. It will help get things moving.. Luck..
