any one having a sleeve done in nov mine nov 1 I need a buddy to help me along on this journey

Good luck to Everyone getting their surgery Monday!!! I’m excited and ready to get it done . They just called me and gave me my surgery time. Feeling super anxious now ??

Hi all, just wanted to check in. Sleeved on 11/1 and then had to go back 11/5 to repair my hernia again. I started puree on 11/14. Taking things nice and slow. The most important thing I've learned is smaller bites and CHEW CHEW CHEW. It's funny, someone posted when their nose runs, they're full and I'm the same way. When you eat slowly your brain really picks up the cues of fullness better. I'm struggling getting the water in. Sometimes I forget and chug and that's painful so I have to mentally tell myself to sip all day. I still have my sutures but I'm seeing my surgeon again on Monday to remove them and I can't wait. The worst thing for me is the constipation! Does anyone take anything? I was thinking of mixing miralax in my fluids to help. Thanks in advance!

My procedure isn't until the 20th, but on my post op information sheet, the doctor did say to use Miralax or ducolax.

But, be sure to ask your doctor because everyone's case is different.

Also, congratulations on your procedure!!??

Hi

I had my sleeve last wednesday. Was in there for 2 nights only had some shots of morphine night before. No issues and able to drink and swallow fine and no pain now.

My question is from what ive read and heard, it should be hard for me to drink liquids but to me i can drink fine with no issues. Worried maybe my sleeve might be big? Or is it one of those, the body is healing and inflamed and it will take a while to settle

It’s gona heal take your time it will hurt u in the long run

How did the sleeve was the best thing that ever happened to me. I currently lost 140 pounds I am in great shape loving life enjoying things I haven’t done in a long time. Go for it

All set for tomorrow ! Super nervous I feel like I’m not going to be able to sleep tonight ?

Hey guys

Just a fast update. I lost 30 lbs in 3 weeks and I'm feeling good mentally but fatigue is creeping up

Hey guys

30 lbs is awesome. What do you think is causing the fatigue? I'm 2 weeks out and I'm also fatigued, especially if I am too active the day before.

Howdy!

This is my very first post. Surgery is scheduled for Tuesday 11/19 and tomorrow I do clear liquids only, then... THE DAY. I’ve lost 25 lbs so far - 10 to get clearance and 15 in this two-week pre-op diet.

I’m nervous/excited!

Awesome! I'm having mine done tomorrow as well! Good luck to you!

Mine is on 11/19. Please add me. Thanks.

It's 4am. My surgery is in 8 hours. I went to bed about 11pm, woke up at 2am full of anxiety and fear like "WTF an I even doing????" I dunno whether to go try to sleep for 2.5 more hours before my alarm goes off or just stay awake.

Dude, I'm in the exact same boat. Woke up around 330 am and been awake/unable to fall asleep since . Gotta be at the hospital in 3 hours. Good luck to you today!
