Any February Sleevers?

Policeman2345 if you're a 1st responded thank you for your service. Don't be anxious, look how far you've come on this journey, tomorrow is going to be a day of rebirth for you. They will give you relaxing medication before, the common name for the oral is the Don't give A S**** pill, some people get it in a powdered form under their tongue, some in their IV, don't matter because it all works. You'll drop off into a nice peaceful sleep when you wake up you'll be in the recovery room being attended to by techs and nurses. Some people are uncomfortable, many aren't. When it's time you'll go back to your room. I'd like to tell you they'll let you just lie there and rest, not gonna happen. They will have you up and doing laps around the unit. Nah they aren't being mean, they don't want you developing blood clots in your legs and believe you me you don't want them either. I don't envy you being a guy, Foley catheters are nasty enough,in girls, but a guy.-

Do I have to draw you a picture of it all or can you mentally see it? You will want that bugger REMOVED.

Will it hurt? Well,everybody has a different pain tolerance, one person said it was like being stabbed multiple times, which I guess you really are, another felt bloated, another like too many situps in a row. I'm holding on for my own to my friend Tammy's assesment. She said it wasn't even as bad as the day her 5 year old head-butted her in the belly. He thought he was a Billy goat. See that's why God gave him to her instead of me, I would have amputated his little horn buds before they ever grew. A limb of Satan was Mr Eric Anthony, yes indeed! Slowly each and every day you're going heal, get stronger until you feel better and better. Although there may be stalls along the way you'll lose weight, get thinner and generally be so proud of yourself. Thus ends my little sermon but I hope it helps. Good luck and hugs for tommorrow.

I actually did not need a foley (thank you Jesus!) I asked if I can go without and they said yeah that the procedure was short

February 7, 2018! Feeling good so far. It’s hard not to go between liquids and soft foods before I am supposed to but thankfully my body is handling what I have thrown at it. Haven’t had anything unhealthy. Hope everyone else is well.

Tomorrow is the big day...feeling happy but nervous. This is the second bariatric procedure I've had. Ten years ago, I had a lap band procedure, but the band was removed in an emergency surgery about one year ago. Turns out, 1/3 of my stomach slipped through my band. Very painful. I was really worried about putting the weight back on, and I had gained 20 pounds since the removal of the band. I was supposed to have the surgery on January 3, but it had to be postponed. So, Happy Valentine's Day to me!

Wow. Same exact thing happened to me . I had my band taken out last December. Since then gained back 45 lbs. that’s why I am getting sleeve. My surgery is scheduled for this Thursday. Can’t wait.

One week post surgery - I am down exactly 10 lbs!!
One tip for those who have recently had, or will have surgery. Start on the stool softeners, Benefiber, Miralax, etc., you will regret it if you don't! (I speak from experience, lol!)

Help! I have benefiber and don't know how to incorporate it
Did you just mix it into your Water?

I hadn't started it until today, which was a mistake! But today I put it in my Protein Shake.
