Any March 2018 Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

Just got discharged - sore, but not impossible and don't need anything but Tylenol. Very VERY sleepy; load a hydration app on your phone before you go in, if you can, I had a hard time keeping track when writing or typing. I'm using WaterMinder and pre-set a 1oz measure so I could just turn on the app and tap each time I drank. My stomach aches, but it's not sharp pains. Incisions are a bit sharper. For whatever reason I progressed really fast and was fit for discharge about 18 hours after surgery. I'm now home sipping a Protein Shake and getting ready to nap again.

Remember that anything you bring into the hospital, you'll have to sign an "I won't sue if this gets stolen" waiver.

Do like the late Jerry Reed did with Amos Moses in his song, turn him into Gator Bait! F**k him or better yet don't F**k him, see how he feels about that! He needs to get on Team Florida Gal and now. Don't let him run rough-shod over you like I did my late husband. Nobody loves a soggy old doormat. Mine professed his love but I don't think he respected me. Learn from a sadder and later-wise person.

Oh my gosh, I am DYING!!! And not really losing the weight that I should be for being on liquids only and starving. I just got other Protein Shakes and unflavored Protein to add to stuff, but in all honesty I want hot wings!

I received great news today. Since I started my Aetna PPO insurance required pre-surgical diet with the nutritionist in November, I have lowered my cholesterol from 206 to 165! The doctor told me my numbers were "excellent". Small wins sure help you feel better about the pre- process. Happy me!

Tomorrow is the day! Just want to say thank you to everyone who has been so diligent about sharing your experiences on here. It’s definitely been helpful. I will try to do the same. For now, I’m hoping and expecting the best for tomorrow and most certainly looking forward to my new life!

        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!!
