Surgery day is approaching fast and I go from excited to nervous to blah.... I would love to keep in touch with someone who is having surgery around the same time as I. It's always nice to talk to someone who knows what you're going through.

I'm at 1 week post op today, and so far it's been worth it!

I'm the biggest baby when it comes to pain and honestly, the only pain I felt was soreness. No regrets here at all. I can't believe it's been a week! If it weren't for the incisions, I would have no idea that I had surgery.

Hi Guys! I am being sleeved on Jan 14th. I am really getting nervous. For all that have had the procedure done, was it worth it? Any regrets?

the surgery is tolerable. I am so thristy. I do try to walk 10 minutes every hour. Good luck to you - i cant wait to see your #'s

I have lidocaine gel that I put around the incisions. Helps with the burning.

Thanks, I will try that!

I have 2 more weeks on a liquid diet. Any suggestions on how to make this easier?

I am one week out of surgery & regret it! But I also had a hiatal hernia repair & I have a lot of pain & can hardly get anything down! I now wish I would have tried harder to lose weight & exercise!!!! I'm so weak & feel like I'm starving to death! 14 lbs in one week but I'm miserable!!!! I keep praying that I will heal quickly from the 2-surgeries!!!!! Just being honest!

i was sleeved the 30th and had the hiatal hernia fixed. It does hurt some to swallow anything and I would love to chug a bottle of water!!! I hope this does resolve soon as this is incomfortable to say the least. Hope you feel better soon## oh!! I lost 15lbs.

@@ckcford I am now 9 days post op. I regretted it from day 1 until about day 4. Not so much from the pain of surgery, but from the constant nausea. Once I switched to phenegran suppositories, my life changed lol

I was able to sleep and not wake up constantly dry heaving. I am 18 lbs down from my HW and 14lbs down since surgery. I do NOT regret it.

Anyone have horrid pain around belly button around 6 days out? I am almost ready for ER

No Cherri no pain to go to the ER maybe gas? Take a gas x when my stomach hurts I take one and almost feel better immediately I am 9 days post my pain comes from lower right worth a shot

I took it real easy yesterday - walked and reminded myself that I had major surgery 8 days ago - much better today!!
