I would love to make some surgery buddies now so we can go through all the pre-op requirements together and stick through surgery and beyond. Anyone else already know their surgery will occur this summer?

My surgery is going to fall in the July or August time frame. Most of this is dependent upon checking all my surgeon's boxes, the rest is dependent upon my financing since I'm self-pay. I'll be getting the sleeve.

I love my surgeon and feel really lucky to have found him. So far the pre-op stuff has gone smoothly, but I am just at the beginning stages. I've scheduled all my evals and classes and attended my first weight loss class last week. I found it to be mildly helpful. It was certainly geared more toward those that hadn't already read through the surgery binder and/or those that had no clue what healthy eating consisted of. I'm hoping future classes focus more on the post-op eating.

My first visit with my PCP about this surgery is next week as that's the soonest I could get in to see her. I'm hoping she'll be supportive as my surgeon knew of her when I told him that's who I see. But if I have to find another PCP so be it.

My first dietician appt is next week and psych eval is the week after that. I only have to get these three meetings out of the way to schedule my surgery. So I'm anxious to get that done!

I'm excited to hear from others along the same timeline as me!

Don't trust that feeling that you can drink as much as you want. My 3rd day after surgery I took a few extra sips of Water and almost hurled. Didn't actually puke but had that tons of spit run to the toilet moment. I'm a week out now and my "full" doesn't feel like it used to.

I’m just so scared that I’m going to mess something up, either drinking too much or drinking too little. Like you said, your feeling of being full is different now and I don’t want to push the limits, I’m trying to do everything to a T but the feelings are all so new

Hey everyone! My surgery went well but it was so late when I was finally transferred to my room that I was too tired to check in. I had some nausea but I was given injections to stop that. No hernia repairs. Had a little suffering to do about peeing. Had to be so bad but my bladder was still asleep, didn’t get to relieve it until about 3am. I’m doing well though. Haven’t got to do too much walking yet. Will keep you posted

2 days post op it still sucks but it’s getting better everyday. Waking up sucks because that’s when I’m most nauseous and have horrible reflux. But I take my zofran and Prilosec and it gets better hang in there everyone it’s the start of the new and improved you!

Yea, today is my first full day home, and i took my liquid pain killer, wanted to wash it down with a few sips of watwer, and all that right after each other made me nearly puke. I had to try really hard not to throw up.
