I've got my surgery date for 7-18-16. Nervous. Anyone else have a July surgery date scheduled?

Can anyone tell me if they give you something for the gas, from what I am reading from other post it's pretty bad the first few days.

They only gave me the pain meds and nausea meds. They said I would just have to walk and take deep breathes to expelled it. I honestly wish I had been able to pass gas though, because my burps are tiny and I still have a lot of gas blocked in my chest. I can only take teeny tiny sips of my broth, and water. I haven't even gotten near my 15 1oz cups an hr. Its more like 4oz/hr for me since I still have so much pain. My incisions don't hurt too bad, just the gas and getting used to not taking a big gulp of water when I'm thirsty.

I made that mistake yesterday. I brought an extra jello today, and I had 2 cups of broth instead of one. I also only got in 2 protein shakes yesterday, but got in 3 today. I'm supposed to have 4 only 12 more days!!!

My surgery is the 27th and I just completed the second day of preop diet too. I lost 3 pounds the first day from being in the bathroom all day. I had my preop appt today and Doctor said to wait a couple more days and it should get better. Im just hoping it isn't all the lactose. I also have a pretty constant headache going, probably from being dehydrated from being in the bathroom so much. The doctor and nurse both said it starts to get easier on day 3-4.

My surgery is scheduled for July 21. I am scared of the pain but excited to be finally to this point. The pre-op diet is not too bad & my husband also eats what I cook for myself - even if it is just meat, a salad & a veggie. I only have 5 more days on this diet....yay!

Good luck all!!

My surgery is July 26th. I am 2 days into my liquid diet. I have been so excited, but I am now starting to freak out. I'm a nervous person anyway, but now I am asking myself all of the questions and what ifs. I am terrified of the actual surgery and even more scared of making all the right decisions after. Any other worry warts out there and what are you doing?

We are sleeve sisters! Mine is July 26th also. I meet with my surgeon tomorrow to get preop diet, etc. The closer it gets, the more nervous I get! I'm in the same boat as you. On top of it, I've put all these things I want to get done b4 the surgery on my plate (have windows and carpets washed, house clean, laundry done, etc.) I know realistically what gets done gets done and what doesnt is no big deal. The fear of the unkown is what we have right now and there's nothing we can do about it till we are going through it. (Except ask lots of questions, watch youtube vids of other people's experiences and read) We will be fine, and we will take it one hour/day at a time. Everyone who's had it done has said its the best thing they've ever done for themselves.

Hey sleeve sister!!! You are so lucky you haven't had to start the diet already. I am really struggling. The food is terrible and I am hungry all the time. I have completely forgot about all of the things I should do before I have it, thanks for reminding me. I think it will help me rather than stress me out, you know, keep my mind busy. Good luck today (I hope your diet is better than mine) and we need to keep in touch throughout.
