I'm so nervous. I leave for the hospital in about 90 minutes. Surgery at 11:15. I'm so ready for this to be over.

I will be leaving for my surgery in a couple hours. Good luck to you!

It is 11:38 and hopefully your surgery is going well. I also hope you will have a speedy recovery. Let us all know how you are doing when you are able. Good luck!!
I'm one of those tricky west coasters ;) it's only 8:45 here. I still have 2.5 hours to wait and make myself crazy.

Thanks to everyone for the well wishes.

Have you contacted your insurance company? Sometimes that helps motivate them.

No I have not! I know the Dr can't do the surgery until he gets back from his out of the country Holiday vacation sometime in Jan. Plus they submitted it despite the fact that they didn't have the breathing and stress tests and PCP medical clearance and medically necessary forms yet. When I asked why they said those other things they would add as they got them from the Doctors. So I guess they submitted an incomplete report. I see the Cardiac Dr for the results of the stress test today. My PCP was waiting to get all the test results before he writes the medical clearance and medically necessary form.

So I will call my PCP today to schedule an appt with him for his clearance then after the surgeon office submits everything I will call insurance if I do not hear within a week,

The surgery went great. Most everything was as expected. I had some trouble staying awake in recovery so it took longer to get to my room. It's been much more comfortable than my c section recoveries. Lots of walking, liquids, and rest. I should be going home tomorrow around 9am. I had to have my incisions covered because I woke up picking at them twice.

Thanks to everyone for the warm thoughts. It makes the process a little easier.

I'm officially 1 week post op and down 12 lbs since the day of surgery!

Getting in my fluids and Protein is really tough. My stomach has been protesting everything I put in it.

My large incision still REALLY hurts. I haven't been taking any pain meds because they don't taste very good so who knows, maybe I'd be fine if I actually took something. I think I strained my internal stitches, every cough/sneeze/attempt to get out of bed is very unpleasant.

Next week I can start puréed foods, I can. Not. Wait.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
