I am having surgery December 2 anyone else around that time too, would like to have support from other people as we go thru this journey around the same time. Wishing luck to everyone else we GOT this!

December 15th I had gastric sleeve. Anyone from South Florida? I’m doing great. It’s just challenging around the holiday season. I still have to cook traditional holiday meal for my family. I’m from the Carribean and eating is a big part of our culture.

I’m so sorry, friend. Did they give you any anti nausea? They already gave me some. I’m going to have some bedside and in the kitchen just in case. You poor thing.

Yes, I have zofran, phenergren, and a scopalomine patch on also. They called me in Emend yesterday, it’s a one time pill. It was $75 but worth every penny for that one pill. It has helped tremendously and I haven’t thrown up since last night!

Oh friend, that’s great! I’m so glad you haven’t thrown up!

In the preop waiting room. Getting super super nervous.

It’s going to great!!! Won’t be long now!

I'm having VSG on December 29th! I'm really struggling with the pre op liquid diet! I went for 4 days good, then cheated for 3, then 3 days good and I cheated today! But it's Christmas it's so hard! Now I'm terrified my surgery will get canceled. I've lost about 15lbs so far.

Oh congrats, how are you doing so far? I'm so nervous, scheduled Dec 31st.

I'm scheduled for the 31st I'm so so nervous. I'm on a low carb, high protein 2 week diet and have only lost 6 pounds. I wonder what determines what type of pre op diet to do?

Well I am officially 7 days post-op. I took a big hit from the anesthesia. An extra day later I am home doing okay. Trying to reach my goals and wrapping my mind around the future.

Congrats, issues with anesthesia?

I didn’t have any problems with the anesthesia. I went home the next day I started the liquid diet. I am really over the sewer taste of all the protein drinks and some of my chewable vitamins it makes me a bit nauseous

Hello, New to this site had Gastric sleeve surgery on December 14th.

Hello! I am awake enough in the hospital now to talk. Yesterday was quite miserable as the gas kept hitting my new stomach and I was super nauseous. I slept through the night. I’m still woozy and bit sleepy but much better from yesterday. I’m walking and the incisions don’t feel too bad now that they gas has subsided (except in my right shoulder). Overall the doctor said it went great. I’m now able drink 4 small cups of water—from the little cups they give to you.

The only other thing is it feels like I may have heartburn.

So glad you are doing pretty well! Hoping the heartburn feeling is gone soon! And the gas pain!
