Hi I'm a 34 yr old mom of two young kids and my surgery is scheduled for August 2017! Im excited and super nervous at the same time. Just wanted to see if anyone else was getting surgery in August too?

My insurance wouldn't cover the original scrip so I will be doing injections as well. Don't think I can do them on myself so my hubby will have the honor. Will be going to bed early tonight and hopefully be able to sleep, check in is at 10am and its an hour drive to the hospital. So happy that its finally happening. Good luck to all who are next in line!

I've been giving myself injections two to four times a day for years as a diabetic, so the prospect of injecting the blood thinners doesn't bother me in the least. For anyone out there who is faced with that, please don't be concerned--it's not difficult and it's not painful. Have a tissue or cotton ball handy in case there's a tiny drop of blood.

Good luck with your surgery ... hope you breeze right thru

CONGRATS!!!!!!!!....that's so exciting and happy for you that everything went well. How long did it take you to start walking?

Congrats! I had mine Thursday and feel great except for the gas and air pockets every time i try to drink anything. Do you? Do you take anything besides gas
x and walking for gas??

Good luck! Keep us updated and we can support each other!

I had mine one week ago 8/7/2017. I'm feeling pretty good. Gas pain is finally gone and not feeling hungry at all. Making myself drink 3 premier protein drinks a day along with my 64oz of water. It takes all day but I'm doing it[emoji16]

Awesome! Mine was on the 10th, and today I feel pretty good. Gas is finally gone, and I can drink easier. I'm also not hungry, but I'm making sure I get in some soup and premier protein.

Well tomorrow is my surgery day. Excited and nervous at the same time. How is everyone doing that has already had their surgery this month. Did any of you have to take a blood thinner after for 2 weeks.

since im prone to blood clots and a history of PE i have to do the shots for a month

I am 1 week post-op today. Gas pains are gone. I didn't need any blood thinners. Dealing with constipation after 3 week liquid diet. Can't wait til I can have puréed foods next week. My first meal will probably be puréed peas mixed with puréed tuna or salmon. Good luck in surgery!

I was scheduled for the 21st , so excited this morning about only one week to go. Got a call from the surgeon moving me til the 28th and to stay on the liquid diet . Three weeks on the liquid pre op diet not so bad as the disappointment of the going in the 28th

Hey everyone, I'm a single 34 yr old and my surgery for the sleeve has been scheduled for Aug 22nd. I've been really focused up till now, Lost 20 lbs originally with really regular gym going and fairly decent eating. I went on vacation and gained 5 back :/ so working at getting back in the swing of things.

I'm starting to get nervous. I have a long family history of people having gastric bypass so once the dr said i needed it I just went ok let's get it done. Now that it's booked I'm more apprehensive but I know this is for the best.

I am right in front of you on the 21st. This final week is a killer. What a roller coaster of emotions!
