1st time posting...surgery in 5 days!



Recommended Posts

Hello. Today I started my pre-op diet and I'm having my surgery NOVEMBER 25th! I am so excited and, of course, nervous. My insurance requires a 6 month waiting period and I thought this day would never get here. Everything was so slow until my final appointment November 11 and now it's all happening so fast.

Anyone else getting sleeved soon?

I still have 7 weeks to wait but I'm excited your time is close. The waiting sure is hard!

Best of luck to you. I'm 3 weeks out, and time has flown by very quickly. It will be done before you know it, and you'll be on your way to losing weight.

@@heartonmyvsleeve good luck to you! My surgery date is 12/2, and my emotions are all over the place. I've been trying to keep busy by obsessively organizing my house! At least it will be clean and organized when I get home :) Keep us posted on your progress!


@@atlmag good luck! I'm being sleeved 12/2. It's right around the corner! :o

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      It's been a bit of a struggle this last week...I'm hungry ALL the time.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
