Getting sleeved in one hour!



Recommended Posts

I am a nervous wreck y'all I am terrified of the pain I will have. I've been waiting a year for this surgery and have 0 support from my family. Going to the hospital now I would love someone to talk to, bond with, be friends with. Good luck to everyone with their weight loss!!

actually, most (not all - but most) patients really don't experience much pain from this surgery. Just the gas pain.

I had mine on 5-20! Would love to be buddies! I had very little post op gas pain because I walked the halls for the 24
Hours I was inpatient. Nurses were my cheerleaders. Best of luck!

      I hope everyone is having a lovely week so far! 
      It's been a bit of a struggle this last week...I'm hungry ALL the time.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
