I just got my surgery date for March 5. I am excited and nervous at the same time but I'm trying to hold it all together.

I’m in pompano beach FL

I’m in pompano as well. Who did your sleeve and how are you feeling?

This mirrors my recovery. I am post surgery day 7 today, but was cleared for full liquids yesterday. I believe I slept mostly on my stomach last night and sleeping is become a wonderful thing! I miss texture as well. My program has us reintroducing foods in stages, slowly. It won't be until next week when I can have pureed foods. Slow and steady wins the race.

I believe my doc keeps us on this next “stage 2” for 2 weeks then I go to the puréed.

Baby steps gets us there too!

Yes I was sleeved march 9 with dr Szomstein at Cleveland clinic in Weston FL. It’s about a 25 minute drive. The Bariatric team is awesome. I was treated so well during my hospital stay. I highly recommend them. They definitely live up to their stellar reputation. Over all I feel fine . Just a little sore where they removed the stomach. On surgery day they gave me Tylenol and nausea meds prior to surgery. That really helped bc when i woke up. I didn’t have any pain just tightness in my abdomen. I didn’t have any gas pain either. I have not had any issues swallowing or vomiting. Extremely smooth recovery.

Thank you for sharing this.......it helps to hear first hand how it went and makes us pre-surgery people less apprehensive.

Good luck on your Sx today

5:30 AM, baby, that's when I report for surgery -- woohoo! I am a jumble of nerves, excitement, and impatience, because mostly, I just want this done so I can start the next phase of my life.
