Revision on 12/1! Very nervous!

Hello all!

So on Tues morning, 12/1, I go in for my revision. I'm very nervous and a bit scared. I'm so nervous of failing again, but most of all scared of not waking from the surgery. Not sure why, but I think having a nearly 1yr old now makes things a bit more frightful.

Any words of encouragement or success stories are welcomed!

Hi! I'm recovering so well! Thank God! Honestly I thought recovery would be horrible, but it really hasn't been! I finally got to eat my clear liquid diet last night and couldn't finish (I should say) didn't want to finish my 4 oz of broth.

Today I did eat my 2 oz broth, 2 oz Jello, 2 oz apple juice and 1 oz Protein packet. It took about an hour to eat but I feel good!

I hope ur surgery and recovery goes smoothly!

I'm so glad! Skinny and healthy, here you come!

so ? did you wake up ?

That's great I go Tuesday - hope I wake up - but know what you were talking about - kinda feel like dead man walking ! But I hope the Seahawks win today ! That's my biggest problem today !

Glad you are doing good! I also felt like my Sleeve was easier recovery than the band... maybe I just knew what to expect. When do you progress to full liquids? I remember that being such a relief... to have thin Soups and yogurt! The liquids get old fast.

Thank u! I went to full liquids on day 2! Although that was just 2 oz of soup, 2 oz of jello, and 2 oz juice at one meal. Lol. Each day I'm getting in more and more. Have to work on getting my protein shakes in. I hate sipping and then it gets warm. I go to purées on tues! So tuna and canned meats are ok...can't wait! Lol

I'm doing great--so sweet of you to check in! I'm a public speaker and had a big event in NYC this weekend so that kept me busy. I was feeling pretty apprehensive on Friday and have scheduled an appointment to see my doctor tomorrow once I've flown into Kansas City. Since I had lap and erosion and ended up in Intensive Care I think I'm a bit more fearful than I would normally be. I had a severe gastric bleed with the erosion and I never want to go through anything like that again. I'm sure after talking to Dr Hoehn tomorrow I will feel peaceful and ready to rock and roll on Tuesday.

Good Luck today!!!

Thanks! I'm lying in pre-op reading the autobiography of Senstor Edward Kennedy and just waiting my turn. All is calm, all is bright!
