  • October 6th... just a tiny bit anxious but I know a lot more anxiety is on the way.?

  • Ok. Let’s support each other. Stronger Together I am nervous as well.

  • I am 10 days post op (Oct 7) and feel great. I am on week two of post op liquid diet. Started my liquid diet on September 30 and as of today, Oct 17, I am down 27 pounds. I’m excited. You can do this!

Had band to sleeve revision done on the 19th. Little pain where the port was taken out. Still in liquid phase of post op diet.

Congrats on your revision! Welcome to the forum! Keeps us posted on your progress.

Had my sleeve to DS revision. I was in OR like 8 hours. But I’m walking and takings sips of water

and broth. Biggest pain is getting up and sitting down. Also had hiatal hernia repaired

I am scheduled for October 14th. I’m so excited but also so scared for surgery.

Same...I had 14th as well...hope you are doing well?

Oct 22 and doing well. I'm amazed how little I get full off now!

So.... my surgery was scheduled for 7:30 this morning, but I got cancelled yesterday because I need to have a stress test done on my heart prior to surgery. My pre-op physical disclosed a left bundle branch block in my heart and after a echocardiogram, the cardiologist wasn't satisfied and wants to perform a stress test. Did anyone else have such a postponement? So sad... today was my day. But now, maybe next month will be my day... or the month after... or ???? ?

Hello everyone! I'm brand new to the forum.
My surgery date is October 21 and I feel like am going crazy! I've got so many thoughts and feelings and it's just all the same stuff going around and around like socks in a dryer!
I'm trying to be proactive and get some things ready, like cutting up and bagging some chicken to make food prep easier on my fiance and son while I am in the hospital and recovering. But even doing helpful and usedful things, while helps me feel helpful... and useful (lol), it doesn't stop the relentless screamingn in my head that's just going EEEEEE SURGERY SURGERY SURGERY IT'S REALLY HERE IT'S HAPPENNIIIIIIINNNNNG!!!!!
I've wanted this for so long but I never had insurance that would cover it and now I do and I've jumped through and waited so anxiously and now it's almost here! I'm not scared, I'm not anxious about it going well, I know it will, I'm just so ready to get through it so I can get on with my life!
Any surgery twins?
Lmao it felt so far away and yet everything happener so frigging fast! I am now one week post op! No complaints or complications so far, except liquids are getting on my nerves. I see my surgeon tomorrow for my postop followup appointment and I am excited to graduate to soft/mushy! I am craving every soft/mushy food under the sun!

I was dismayed to experience hunger so soon, but it is satisfied quickly and it isn't constant. The water weight I gained from all the fluids they pumped into me in the hospital is almost gone, so I am super stoked to see what the future holds!

I'm feeling the same as you, fellow 21st-er! I'm getting tired of the lack of variety but I'm not a huge foodie so it's okay. Today is the first day I'm feeling pretty up and happy, and I feel the gas is almost gone! Trying not to weigh myself until the check up next Friday...hope you go well from here too!! ❤️

October 20th and everything’s good except the excruciating pain from the hemorrhoids I got trying to poop. This pain is worst than any pain I felt after surgery!
