12 Hours Until My Surgery Check-In!

I'm scheduled to check-in for gastric sleeve surgery at 5 am tomorrow morning. I was getting a bit of cold feet earlier this week, but feel remarkable at peace about this now. After a year of pre-op appointments, an insurance nightmare, cancellation of my first surgery date iin September in the middle of my pre-op diet, and now finishing a four-week pre-op diet, I am definitely looking forward to this now!

  • My surgery went well yesterday. My surgery time was 7:30 am and I was discharged by 1:30 pm that day because I was walking around and able to tolerate liquids. I'm in less pain than I expected from th

Thanks for the update!! I hope you start to feel better soon!

My time was 7:30am yesterday. I'm still impatient, dr didn't let me start clear liquids till this morning. The pain has been horrible on my left side at the incision sights. I'm able to walk around but the pain is just unbearable and the morphine every 4 hours just hasn't helped at all. They switched me to a Tylenol/codone pills an hour ago and we are seeing how they work. Less nauseous for sure, but still in petty bad pain. No real other complications. Will see if tommorrows any better. Good luck everyone!

How are you feeling?

It's getting a little better each day. The pain on my left side is still pretty awful but that's really the only issue I'm having so I shouldn't complain.

Getting the Protein and Water in is going to be difficult....I managed to get all my Vitamins and supplements in yesterday but wasn't anywhere close to the protein or water goals. Building up to that as best I can....it really is a full time job!

Hoping everyone else is doing well too!

My surgeon was specific on wanting us on Opurity and Unjury. The calcium citrate actually taste like sweet tarts and are good. The sleeve optimized multivitamin tho....Ehh. Tolerable but not the highlight of my day.
