Getting sleeved 8/29 - so excited!



Recommended Posts

I found out my surgery is 8/29. I feel like I'd won the lottery when I got the news!

Any advice for someone who is ten days out?

anyone else scheduled for the end of this month?

Congrats on your date! I'm 2 days post op right now. Biggest thing for me is walking and taking pain meds on time. Don't ever be afraid to ask questions, I'd rather have an answer than not know. Having a pillow to hold over stitches is so helpful for support (been using my pillow pet personally). You'll do great! :)

I'm 4 days post op. So excited for you. I'm doing better than i thought. Pain is manageable, eating small amounts of liquids, sipping on Water though I know it's still not enough.

Still have some gas pain so I'm walking around the house inside and out.

Best of luck to you! Ask lots of questions and don't be afraid if something feels off. It may be totally normal, so ask!!!

keep uodating!

I've been doing a bit of research on this topic since I couldn't get an answer beyond "don't weigh yourself every day" from the nurse at my surgeon's practice. I think it has to do with Fluid intake post-surgery.

Ugh. And I am terrible with that. [emoji58]

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
