Just was approved! Can't wait!

Any May sleevers want to support each other??

:))

Congratulations!!!! My surgery date is May 23.

@SmileyMay Hey there, you had surgery yesterday and just wanted to pop in and say I hope you are doing well!

Joyous congratulations on Surgery Day+1!?Hope you will feel like updating us all soon?

Ack, in pain this morning, not from my incisions but from my IV line! Forearm felt a bit sore in the early hours of the morning so I called a nurse to check that all was fine. She reassured me it was ok and I must have been laying/leaning on it awkwardly in my sleep. When I woke a few hours later at 7 though it was REALLY sore, and quite hard and swollen. During the night the IV to had moved out of the vein and was pumping fluids into my arm. Very ouchy.

They removed the line immediately and I went and has my shower. They are waiting on the anaesthetist to stop by late morning and put a replacement one in my other arm (since I'm not getting much fluid in by mouth yet, I have to be really careful around swallowing tablets with a minimum of water to prevent it coming up again. The endone they gave me about 30 minutes ago has at least reduced the pain for now.

Has pains are now minimal and I'm trying to walk a lot while I'm not stuck dragging my IV with me at the moment.

Blood pressure is recording a bit high overnight and this morning, but that may be because of IV issue.

Still not feeling hungry thankfully, but will work to get more water and protein water in today.

Unfortunately I wasn't able to be sleeved on May 1st as my insurance chose to deny the day before. They want me to do another three months, noting that I have followed the program and lost weight prior. So it looks like I'll be in July/September.

Were u approved before that or they just denied u

Our family is getting sleeved May 24 at Bariatricpal MX. My husband, daughter and myself! My sister is getting sleeved the day before! I guess our family reunions will no longer be centered around food. We are looking forward to a healthy 2018,

I’m on May 10 as well!!!

Had my surgery may 2 and have to say its been a struggle. Had bad nausea and pain post op and then migraine hit for last 24 hrs. If i can be rid of that I'll be happy. Tolerating thin fluids ok. Just having apple juice and broth really. ?home in morning. Missing my boys despite a visit each day. My 3 yr old starts pretend sneezing and saying he's sick when he's here as he wants to stay in with me.

Well it could be done in Sturgis, of course you might wake up,with a biker tattoo, the operating technicians would be a biker gang,
But Sioux Falls sounds like a credible location,and I m sure they will,do fine by you. I will have my surgery, a RnY at OSU.in Columbus Ohio, when- only God Knows

I think I’ll stick to Sioux Falls... although I have been considering a shoulder tat

Aww. Mine visited the day after surgery, but soon learned hospital is a boring place to be. Once they had seen me alive and well mine were ok. Hubby asked if I want them to visit again tomorrow (since I'm here until Sunday) and I suggested he ask them first, and as I'd expected they'd rather do fun stuff with him and possibly have a friend over rather than visit hospital again. I'll see them soon enough on Sunday.
