I am scheduled for June 15th and I am super excited. Pre-Op diet sucks thus far, but I am trying my best to stick to it.

Yay! Another Sleeve Twin. I'm not on pre-op yet until the 10th and i'll be on my family vacation starting the 9th.... idk how i'll get through that with all the food around. I'm just gonna close my eyes and nose lol. 11 more days till the flip side!

I am scheduled for my sleeve on June 18th. Today is day one of the preop diet. So far, so good! I'm excited to get this show on the road!

Gastric Sleeve Surgery June 18th! So excited for my new adventure!!

We are surgery twins!! Good luck!!

It’s the morning after and I’m feeling good, considering.

i wet the bed last night, I was a little too comfortably numb, and now have bladder control back this morning. I have some pain from the gas, it is manageable at this stage. I’ve taken my drs advice and am having all the pain relief offered. I am able to move around on my own and am having ice chips and using lip balm. That with the drip is stopping me from being dehydrated. I drank a lot of water leading up to the surgery so my body was well hydrated prior to fasting so I think that helped. I don’t feel hungry, but would love a coffee. Will see the surgeon later today to see when I’m on liquids.

hope all my surgery twins are doing great.

Congratulations to all having surgery today ... wishing you peace& a quick recovery. Anyone tomorrow? June 5th ??? I am scheduled at 12:00 West Penn Pittsburgh tomorrow.... the nerves are kicking in- wander how you all coped

I am tomorrow too ! I am extremely nervous and not coping super well to be honnest, but thank god I had an appointment with mu therapist this afternoon and it really helped. I wish you the best of luck and I will be sending you good vibes.

I’m due to go home Thursday night. I’m in Australia, with private insurance, and my surgeon prefers a longer stay so he can monitor your fluids. For the first week he prefers less intake by mouth nd to get your fluids via a drip.

How long are you in for? The hospital stays seem to be shorter elsewhere.

I am an outpatient but in my program, some patients stay longer. I am in Canada, through public system.

I didn’t know that was an option, do you have someone at home, like a nurse that drops by, or do you call if you need something?

I don't - except that my husband is a nurse but that's another story. I can go back to the hospital if I don't feel well of course. I hope it will be alright.

I’m having an outpatient procedure for the sleeve also. In Atlanta

Mine is outpatient surgery on Wednesday. It’s all about your physician and health I guess.
