Hello all,

I am scheduled for surgery 5/3/16 and was hoping to find some other people scheduled in April or May to keep in touch with for mutual support.

CrystalVT, got a last minute call today to go have a endoscopy it's scheduled for may 9th. Hope it doesn't screw things up. I'm hoping it's just a last minute test that insurance is requesting. Fingers crossed.

Hello everyone. I am 12 hours post op. Still at the hospital. Besides some pain manageable with pain meds that's it. No nausea or vomiting. My doctor said surgery took all of 35 minutes. I remember when the put the oxygen mask on and the I woke up in recovery. When they told me it was done I didnt believe them because I was feeling too well. So I looked under my gown and there they were. 6 little scars. Looking gorgeous. No bleeding or bruising. I can't explain to you guys how happy I am that I made this decision. Have not regret any of it. Sooooo many good things to come!

Preop weight: 210

Surgery weight: 198.2

Goal weight: 125-130

Awesome!!! I will join you soon. Prayers and good vibes for a speedy recovery and lbs that melt away!

May 2nd for me, I start the liquid diet April 18th. Feeling calm about it right now.

I'm only a few days ahead of you on April 29th

I presume you're on the pre-Op diet then, how's it going?

I did it for 2 weeks. I just had to keep it under 1500 calories. I'm dressed and ready to go!

Good luck Char, tell us how it went on the other side!

@@byebyebmi, I'm scheduled for the 25th too! Day two of my pre-op clear liquid diet and I'm hungry, but not starving. Just need to keep my mind busy.

How are you doing?

I am scheduled on 4/27 for the gastric sleeve. I am nervous and excited at the same time. I had a lapband in 2007 but it prolapsed in Aug of 2015. The band worked while it worked but it was all over with when they removed the fluid in August. I have regained a significant amount of weight back. I had reached my goal weight of 147 and was able to maintain for three years until the band prolapsed. And now I feel like the good year blimp! Lol... But moving on!

Home today. Minimal pain. Just felt sick when I took liquid Tylenol for the pain. Man. It had sugar. That made me feel sick for like 2 hours. Never doing that. As much as I hate it I'll stick to the oxi. Some gas but not too bad. Besides the little soreness in my stomach I feel normal.

So exciting to see how many people that have had their surgeries and those that are about to have them. I am scheduled for April 25th. In Jacksonville, Florida at Baptist Medical Center. I only had a one week pre op diet and I'm 5 days from my surgery!!!!! I am apart of a private/secret group on Facebook and if anyone would like to join send me a message and I'll give you my name to find me on Facebook. We have to be friends for me to add you. We have people that are 2 months post op and a lot of pre op people as well.

Good luck to all of you that are having surgery today!!! I know that everything will be great and you can start the rest of your life as soon as your eyes open!

I did it! I'm done! Waiting to go home now. Nausea has been a bigger battle than pain. I'm hoping that subsides soon.
