Surgery time was bumped twice the day before but it's done. 24 hours in hospital. Doing so much better than expected. Met a buddy walking in the hall. Being diligent to stay hydrated but sip. The gas is unpleasant but manageable. Headed for a nap.

I just got approval. Thought it would be in November.. but found out my date is on HALLOWEEN!!! Holy Crapcake!! Tomorrow, I begin my liquid pre-op diet. I am a wreck!

Please, anyone who's had their sleeve done within the past few weeks.. speak to me. Tell me how you did right after surgery. How was recovery? How was the pain? Did you take GasX strips? How are you now? Should I wear a costume to the operating room? (just kidding about the last question)

My surgeon is Marc Bessler ... did anyone have him as their surgeon?

Haha, sorry I'm laughing but I hope the nurses and surgeon aren't in costume

On a serious note, I had my surgery on the 5th. About 4 hours of nausea which I later found out was a common reaction to morphine. It stopped when they switched the morphing to 'on demand'. Ask about that if u feel sick.

I never needed any pain relief at all. I also had my gallbladder out as well! I've had worse period pains.

I went to see a movie two evenings later. You'll be fine. Think positive and think of the sexy Halloween costume you'll be wearing next year.

Good luck and we're all thinking of you

Mine 10/18. I found the chewable gas x far more effective than strips. My challenge has been staying ahead of nausea and gas. This means waking to take meds before it's unpleasant. Easier than I expected.

Fellow October sleevers, I just wanted to share that someone told me about a great app. Baritastic. It really helps to track your food and fluids. Make sure you log your measurements and weight before your surgery and it will make a nice graph showing progress.
