Hey Everyone!

Just wanted to check in to see how everyone is doing? And to see what you have done so far

-Are you excited?

-Have you packed your hospital bag yet?

-Is any family going w you? If so how are they feeling?

-Have your nerves kicked in?

-Have you done all your shopping and cleaned your houses??

-What time is your surgery??!

-Have you done any spa treatments?

Well I'll go first! So I am doing pretty okay this morning I'm hungry but I'll get through it. I am very excited, not nervous at all! I have not packed yet but will be doing that toning, because I know I probably won't be sleeping. I did do all of my shopping and finished the last bit yesterday. I'm going to clean my house from top to bottom today to keep myself busy! Also I have a facial and massage booked this morning just to relax myself (did my mani/pedi over the weekend). I do have family going w me but they are not really in support of this so I don't really know how they feel... I am the first surgery in the morning so I have to be at the hospital at 6:30a !

I hope everyone has a safe surgery and a quick recovery! Please feel free to keep us updated on this post so we can help each other these next few days!

Talk to you all soon!

Hey all! I'm a week out today from my surgery. Praying for every single one of you.

Good morning everyone! Just checked in! Hope everyone is well and hope to talk to you all after surgery!!! Good Luck!

Wishing you all good luck and a speedy recovery.

Well wishes, thoughts and prayers going up for those being sleeved today. May your recovery be smooth and your weight loss be plenty! ????

Had mine done today and my only complaint was the gas trapped in my chest. It HURT so bad, but finally it went away. Now my abs just feel like they ate sore from sit-ups. I hope it that's the most of my discomfort. I'm wishing everyone the best.

Had mine too.. Funny I had no gas.. But my stomach is painful! Hope you recover well!

I have that picture of Never Give up at work. I love it. I'm happy you didn't have any gas. Mine has returned and I had to ask for my Gasx. Ooh well, at least it will go away soon.

Best wishes for success and speedy recovery. I will be having my sleeve April 29th changed the date from April 8th. Thank you for posting these helpful tips as I prepare for my surgery

Hey everyone I made it out okay... Had bad gas pain last night but now I'm doing okay.... How did everyone else make out? Hope you all are feeling okay

Glad to hear everything went well....im so nervous, any tips? What to expect in hospital? Lol

Just relax and trust every thing will be perfect!

So far my hospital staff has been the greatest. they gave me broth and jello yesterday but I had no desire to eat. I finally ate some of my Jello this morning after my walk. I don't know if other facilities make you walk, but mine does. Nothing fast or long. Just whatever you can handle.

Sounds like everyone did pretty well overall through surgery. Great news!

I had some major nausea issues. Poor nurses were trying everything. Thank goodness it finally subsided. Just got home today and trying to keep the fluids going...sip..sip..sip

Keep up the good work everyone. Our path to a whole new future awaits

Lemme see... I was fine until the were about to roll me away and then I burst in to tears out of nowhere! They gave me some Valium in my IV and then I was fine! Went to the OR went to sleep and woke up done! The only annoying this is the gas pain. But if you get the gas x strips and walk you will be a okay! I did not get anything last night because I had to do the "leak" test this morning! I did just have a sip of broth and a lemon Italian icee and I am so full! Good luck to you dear you will do great!

My surgery went well. Found a pretty sizable hiatal hernia while he was in there so repaired it as well. Lots of gas pain when I first got out of surgery, but it has since subsided. I walked as soon as I was able, and I do believe it has helped relieve the gas. I am not hungry or thirsty, but will work on getting those fluids in so I can go home this evening and get a full night of sleep. Best wishes for a safe and quick recovery everyone!
