9/21/15 surgery

I'm Michelle and.....I got my date today!! I am on a roller coaster of emotions! I will be sleeved on 9/21/15. I start my 2 week pre op diet on monday 9/7. I would love to have more people who are getting sleeved on that day to join me so we can support each other and share or experiences. I started my journey in 2/15 and have felt like I have been in limbo for the past 7 months and it is now finally coming up on "my turn". I have read these boards, had my ups and downs and now all the effort is paying off!

I cleaned my house from top to bottom too! I think for me it was a mixture of anxiety and also not wanting to worry about it for the upcoming week! My surgery is in the morning at 1045am and I'm laying in bed unable to sleep because of nerves! Not wanting to back out or anything and I'm very excited and grateful to finally be here but my nerves are a mess! Good luck !

I know how you feel! My surgery is also tomorrow morning! I am having trouble getting to sleep

Looks like we will all be happy to be "put to sleep" so we can sleep! I have to check in at 6 am. I am just laying here trying to but after 2 days of clear liquids, my stomach is growling! LOL. OF ALL ISSUES TOP BE HAVING! Good luck to you both tomorrow!

Haha , the stomach grumble has been bad for me too but worse than that was no water after midnight. Oh my goodness, what sadism! ???? i wish mine was as early as yours so I could just get up and go, mine got pushed back to 11:45am, oh well! Can't wait for all of us to be through this and then on to stressing over the next stuff LOL

I know.....I think my surgery is actually scheduled for 7:30am. But they told me to check in at 6am. It wasn't too bad on regular preop diet...but this clear liquids only made me really irritable. I Could Still Get Pushed Back If they have an urgent case......keep your fingers crossed for me! Next we will be stressing on getting in enough water!

Congratulations to all those recovering now keep us posted on how your doing

Will do

Yep, start the pre-op diet Monday also...I really feel like these next two weeks are going to fly by. It's taken a long time to get here but it will be so worth it????

So it hasn't quite been 24 hours since my surgery, but I must say I'm feeling much better already! The physical pain right after was more than I expected, but it has eased pretty quickly. Now I'm mostly uncomfortable. My surgeon is going to keep me in the hospital until Wednesday morning and then I get to Co home and sleep in my own bed!

My surgery was on Monday too and I got to go home after recovery (3 hours). I am still really sore but thankful for no nausea. It's just been sip, walk, sleep, etc. lol

My surgery was Tuesday and so far so good. Should be discharged today around noon. Jello has been my favorite so far but other than learning to go really slow, no problems keeping it down.

My surgery was also yesterday and wanted to let me go home the same day but I requested another day because I'm still in pain and I want to be in good hands. But I get to go home today also around noonish.
