I was scheduled to have my surgery in April, but due to the pandemic it was postponed. But I just got my date, October 13th :D

Looking for my fellow autumnal surgery buddies :290_fallen_leaf::291_maple_leaf:

I had mine October 5th. Gastric bypass.

Morning everyone I had my sleeve yesterday 10/13 and I’m currently in hospital. Gassy and nauseated are my main symptoms . Besides that my pain is not as bad just being managed. I have to walk around today. I couldn’t do it last night .

Hi everyone! I am having gastric sleeve on October 27. I have been thanking God that I was approved as I had a lap band that was removed due to medical issues. I am so so happy but honestly I keep seeing myself eating a 1/4 cup of food the first month and it scores the crap out of me lol anyone else?

Hi there! Don’t stress about the amount of food. You probably won’t be hungry anyway.

For the nausea they gave me meds , the gas I had to pass it on my own. They tried to promote walking but I couldn’t yesterday

my liquid intake is pretty low the goal is 400 ml before I leave and I only have 60. The nausea is making it hard to drink but it’s not that bad today

if I don’t meet goal l have to stay another night

That's awesome you made a few laps and were able to tolerate more liquid. Hope you're able to go home tonight but if not, you're where you're supposed to be.

I'll join the club - like others, I was literally set to fly out in the middle of March for the gastric sleeve but had to cancel because of the crazy Covid. Was so sad since I was literally one day away from the flight and all of the pre-op diet prep. But it was definitely for the best.

I'm now scheduled for October 28th! Flying out in less than 2 weeks.

On day 2 of the pre-op diet and it's going ok. I find it practically impossible to drink 64 oz of Water though. I feel like i'm drinking non-stop and I still can't get it all down. I'll keep working on it!

To me it's still not really "real" yet, but definitely will be once I prep to go to the airport!

I've been struggling with the Water as well. Hang in there! You can do it!

        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!!
