    Hello everyone! Just checking in. I haven't been able to work out for at least 2 months because I had foot surgery and I'm really struggling with my Fluid and Protein. And I hate the constipation. Bu

  • I go first tomorrow. 6:15 check in and 8 am surgery! By lunch time tomorrow I should be up and moving. So many thoughts are going through my head. But as my husband sleeps next to me I know I want all

I also have a 2/9 surgery date! Good luck!

Okay 2/9 Team, going in for pre-op blood work this morning. I'll ask lots of questions and share later today!!

How did everything go with your pre-op blood work

Time seems to be moving fast and slow - I'm ready to getter done ????

Hey there! Just had my surgery scheduled for 2/9. Glad to see I won't be alone! I was supposed to have surgery last Friday, but I was sick and had to reschedule. I can't believe (after 5 million hurdles and unforeseen stuff) that this is going to happen! Let's K.I.T. ????

Pre-op blood work did not go well. Went in at 9am and the nurse could not get any blood. She tried both arms and still nothing. She said I may be dehydrated.

They sent me to a lab tech for a second try in my hand and wrist still nothing. Needless to say both arms are sore and I'm drinking Water like crazy to try again tomorrow.

The good part is they have my urine sample and heart monitor results.

Tip: Drink plenty of water before blood work.

Will report back tomorrow.

Sorry to hear they couldn't get any blood, that really bites - tomorrow will be better ????

I'm getting sleeved 2/9 as well! Mixed emotions are happening. Super excited for it to be happening but really nervous for surgery.

Man, sorry to hear about the preop blood drawing nonsense. I just gave blood a few days ago (I give 4xs a year due to my RA), and make it a habit to chug a ton of water before a draw. Learned the hard way a few times. ????

2/9 here also! Let's do this people!

Has anyone on the preop diet been light headed? I will suddenly get light headed and then it goes away.

Yes I have been experiencing the same
