Calling all November Sleevers...

[halfsizeme 28]

I'm on the 17th! So frigging excited!

[sunbeachlady 7]

Me too! Same surgery date! Let's keep in touch!

My doc releases the same day! A few hours after surgery, then a three hour car ride home. Surgery on the 12th!

Back at home, happily recovering.????Everything I've been researching has come in really handy! I feel great but perhaps the pain meds are clouding my judgement. I'm surprised with how much I can move around.

How is everyone doing?

My surgery was Monday, so I am 3 days post-op. Sore, but no longer needing my pain medicine. I am having trouble sleeping at night, as I'm only comfortable on my back. I actually feel better standing and walking around than sitting or lying down. I spent one night in the hospital so I could stay on my IV. Then the "leak test" was done the morning after surgery. So far, so good. But I am experiencing "head hunger," I want to bite into a cheeseburger, just for nostalgia's sake!

My surgery was Monday 11/9. Doc said it couldn't have gone better, but i had real difficulty keeping pain meds down on tuesday, so they made me stay for another night. One incision is crazy painful, the rest I don't feel at all. It took 4 staff and an ultrasound machine to get a line on me, so I look bruised and battered.

Because of my uncontrollable painkiller induced nausea and vomiting, I could only keep Water down. The hospital food was naaaaaasty. They released me yestersay. Today I've had cream Soup and yogurt.

My tummy is making lots of gurgley noises, and it hurts to cough, sneeze and laugh.

Sorry to hear you're having a bit of trouble. Make sure to hold a pillow on your tummy when you cough, sneeze or laugh. That should help the pain. Hope you get feeling better soon.

4 days to go for me.

Finally jumped through all the hoops! On my pre-op diet (living on Protein shakes) and scheduled for November 23rd. I can't wait until this is a done deed. Feels like my whole life has been on hold waiting for this surgery!

I had mine yesterday,. Wish I can say I'm doing as great as the others. Each day is getting better!

[snog 18]

Thanks for your stories, ladies. I wish everyone the best of luck.

I dreamt of eating something not liquid (I'm still on stage 2). Woke up panicked then happy I hadn't gone there. Head hunger is a sneaky opponent.

Here's to steady progress! Hip hip hooray!!????

Hope your doing better today. Hang in there. Be patient, stick with the program & I assure you, you will be pleasantly surprised.

Welcom to the losers' club!

had surgery 11/19. spent the night and was released at noon the next day. surgery and recovery was rough for me due to never being put to sleep or having any surgery done .before. got to felling much better once I got home. spent all day Saturday at the gym watching basketball tournament. I highly recommend destination weight loss in Guntersville al.

$10,000 includes everything even a night in the hospital.
