Omg guys I just set my surgery date for Jan 11th. I’m sooooo excited. Any post-op/pre-op advice or suggestions?!

Doing well. First days were a little uncomfortable due to the gas they put in you and not all comes out. Just make sure to walk as much as possible . You get excited over the small things like I had my first BM today (yeah for me) You will all will do great!!!

Mines is not until Jan 11th and I’m super nervous lol. I’m glad your first day went well though!

It was actually not bad at all. Def sore (like you got punched or worked out hard) and it felt like really bad gas pains at the top incision for me. Day 5 and I’m having much less gas pain and overall ok,

Crazy but the scale says down 7 lbs?! Not hungry at all- hard to drink everything you need to

Good luck to you! You’ll do great!

Was sleeved 12/18 and also enjoying the little wins! Was down 12 lbs at my one week follow up appointment, that was really motivating!

Girl trust I understand. It took them 3 weeks to approve mine. I called them though and she told me I was approved before I received the letter. So call and get on they nerves lol

Lol ... I called every other day. Then the day I decided to wait & not call I got the letter.. A couple of days later the surgeon’s office called ans scheduled my 4 hour class, my pre-op appointment & my surgery all at once!! They wanted to schedule me for Jan 10 th!!’ But I need to tie up stuff at work & find someone to fill in for me so I settled on February 6th... I’m soooo excited!
