Calling all October sleevers!!

[walleyecrazy 120]

Just called and got my surgery time for tomorrow. They’ve got me scheduled for the first surgery of the day at 7:30. I’m happy to know it’s so early and I’ll get to get it over with without sitting around feeling anxious all morning.

11:20am Wednesday (11th Oct) here (eastern Australia) right now.

21 hours from now, I'll be half-way through my gastric sleeve operation.

I'm 99% excitement and about 1% apprehension. I'm ready for this.

I have to be at the hospital about 6:20/6:30am to be prepped.

I can almost feel the joy of freer movement and comfortable access that will follow ... from imagining it to the reality ... a new chapter for me.

Today makes 1 week post op. I have 1 incision that pains me. I am down 19.8 lbs as of this morning. I can hardly wait to get some non-liquid food, but glad I don't experience severe hunger, its all just greed, lol.

So it sprinkles pain killer in my inside. Pretty neat. I gotten up walked some. Today is much better then yesterday! lol yesterday was rough

Chrissy43,

Glad you are feeling better today. Are you having or have you had much nausea?

[yaleembashir 6]

Glad your surgery went well how are you tolerating the liquids?

Wow! The time is here. My surgery is today at 10:30 am. I'm excited, nervous and feel happy at my life changing decision. Wish me luck?

I've been wanting to come here sooner to provide a post surgery update but I guess it's better late than never lol. I'm officially one week post surgery. I get jealous when I hear stories about how little pain everyone was in after their surgery because I felt like I was donkey punched in my gut after surgery. I was literally yelling and squirming around on the bed after I awoke. Plus every time I had to get up to walk the pain on my right side was killing me. Needless to say I don't think the pain meds did me any good. I wanted something stronger but I guess they decided against it.

I have residual pain on my right side post surgery that still persist, especially if I move a certain way, but it has gotten better by each passing day. I can finally lay on my stomach, YAAY. Baby steps y'all.

I cosign everyone who says to bring gas X strips and a biotene mouth wash for post surgery recovery. I didn't really do much of anything else post surgery besides get on my phone.

I haven't gotten on a scale yet, I will wait until my 2 week visit with the Doctor to find out how much i have lost since the surgery but I do feel great. I was having some regrets at first but it's all about taking it slow and adjusting to the new stomach. Can't wait to share more of my journey with you all.
