I am having my VSG surgery in Mexico on December 7th. Anyone else getting Sleeved that day? Would love to have a buddy to chat with through this journey. ☺️

Can we take our chewable vitamins the day before why we are only the clear liquid diet? Are any of you doing clear liquids for 2 days before surgery or just 1 day before?

My doctor only has me doing clear liquids the day before surgery then nothing after 11pm

I was sleeved yesterday. So far the worst has been the gas pain. I walked almost all night, last night. The gas pain is mostly gone. Now to get rid of the muscles cramping in my belly. Doctor says I can go home tomorrow. Woot!

Hey girls getting home, found day 3 v hard doc said as its 2 days post all sedatives etc are gone from system so it's v usual. Just want my own bed now. Just about managing a half glass of water. Did anyone else suffer from blurred vision?

Yes, I had slightly blurred vision but I'm 3 days post-op now and it's back to normal. Having a rough time with the water requirements, but still trucking along. Was definitely a challenge getting comfortable at home, but still better than being poked at and dragging an IV up and down the hallway doing my laps...good luck with everything!

I am doing pretty good. Sore on my left side. Some chest gas pains. Been very active because the night of my surgery my husband got good poisoning then kidney stones. At one point we shared a room and were both hooked to an iv. Sure was a funny sight. Not fun but have some crazy memories to look back on!!!

Wow fat2phat that's some coincidence lol. Now I'm home the excitement has gone about getting outta hospital and I realise my bed has no support at all.

Glad someone else had the blurred vision (well not glad but u know what I mean) not so worried now.

Here's hoping we all have a less painful day tomorrow girls????????

Did anyone else have a hernia repair at the same time? Having s good day today!

Thanks for taking care of me. Can't believe I got food poisoning and then kidney stones while in Mexico for your surgery. And had to be rushed back across the border to ER in San Diego because hospital in Mexico was unable to control the kidney stone pain and nausea.

Thankfully you had a great surgery and are doing awesome despite all of my attempts to derail your journey. Lol.

Yes I had one repaired. I was told it is pretty common in people who are obese.

Lol. Yeah overall I am very pleased with my experience in Mexico. They took awesome care of me and 4 days post op I am having an amazing recovery!

Now if you could please pass that stone so we can get started on our new active lifestyle, I would appreciate it. Hehe. ????

I was supposed to have a stitch put in my hiatal hernia but surgeon said when he got in there it didn't need it as it was so small - happy days
