So my surgery is set for April 19th. I can't believe how fast my 6 mo. requirements went by! [emoji3] I start my 2 week diet on April 5th and pre op meeting on 4/10. Any other April sleevers in the house?[emoji2]

I had a headache from the pre op liquid diet also. I thought it was probably because I stopped coffee and caffeine cold turkey. I think I looked online for natural ways to get rid of a headache. Look online can't remember now what I did. What state are you in? I am in California and had my surgery through Kaiser Insurance. Just try to sleep and continue to picture yourself healthy and all the wonderful things that are going to happen. I wrote a list and put everything I could think of. Down to shaving my legs and other places also lol. You are almost there!!!! Good luck to you..

I live in Arizona but I'm from Inglewood California. When I lived in California had Kaiser too. My best friend is having her the next week also she's going through Cedar Sinai

My parents grew up in Inglewood back in the 40's until the mid 60's. Get some sleep if possible..

I had mine April 11th. Surgery day was rough but look at the positives of this huge life changing event and you will rock it!

I had mine same day! Felli g great! Hope you are doing well

I got sleeved yesterday

I go in tomorrow, I'm very excited. I've got my bag packed and my surgery is at 7am tomorrow

My sleeve was 4-19. Doing good as far as I can tell. Drinking water and protein drinks. Looking forward to creamed soups. Not much appetite though, which is a PLUS

Good luck. The whole process so far for me has been smooth.

It was postponed until 4/ 25.. I'm disappointed. I was ready, physically mentally and emotionally. Now I can't seem to get it together... How are you doing?

Just wondering how you're doing. Hope all went well and you're feeling good!

I was sleeved on the 19th. The first 2 days in the hospital were a little miserable but once I got home, I felt so much better. I haven't had to use any of my pain or nausea medications so I am counting myself truly blessed! I'm taking things one day at a time, have my one week post op appointment tomorrow plus I get to start puréed foods. I am totally looking forward to that! (NEVER thought I'd say that!) good luck to all!

I had surgery on 4/26. I got to leave after one night and come home. Also have a horrible headache that won't go away. Aside from being constantly sleepy, I feel okay.

Y'all, I got sleeved 4/19 and I'm down 12 lbs so far from surgery day! I'm still pretty sore, but I have been back to work for 2 days. I'm on purees finally, so I can finally eat and feel full for a few hours. Best decision of my life.

I'm so hungry and I was worried! So it is good to know you felt hungry also. Did you have trouble staying awake after surgery?

Yes. When I was on clear liquids, I couldn't stay awake for anything. Once I slept through the night for 15 hours straight.

I was sleeved yesterday in Richmond, va, everything went great. I had gas really bad for an hour then it went away. They had me up walking every 2 hours all night so I'm tired and have a headache

Glad to hear everyone is doing well[emoji2] I had my one week check up yesterday and I'm down 12 pounds since surgery on the 19[emoji1474] I am also able to guzzle water, although I do catch myself after 4 gulps[emoji15]
I don't do it all the time but I get tired of sipping when I get thirsty...I have to be on full liquids another week before I start purée which sucks because I'm so tired of liquids[emoji37]
