Hi everyone! I am new to this site. Is there anyone else who is scheduled in February for gastric sleeve? I am scheduled on February 8.

I was suppose to go in tomorrow the 19th and they just called and said anesthesia isn’t happy with my ekg so it looks like my surgery is getting postponed. Might be good considering the snow falling right now and the over hour drive. Still very disappointed especially that they waited until the day before to tell me or call! ?

Gastric sleeve scheduled a week from now, on the 25th. I'm in Sweden but originally from Canada so joining here because it's an English speaking forum. Good luck to everyone who is getting their operation done or who has just recently done it this month!

If you don’t mind me asking why was yours postponed? I always have abnormal ekgs for everything. I’ve been to a cardiologist many times and they say my heart is fine. Now the ekg is showing changes and they did not make me see one prior and waited until now to tell me. I have a family history of heart disease as my dad died from a heart attack but I am still fairly young. I know that doesn’t mean anything. For now I am just frustrated. I had the lapband for 10 years and did so well with it and had it removed in an emergency surgery right before covid. Between those two things and losing my job I put on a lot of weight in a year. It’s a discouraging situation right now.

Me too! Trying to work my way into the pre-op diet. I figure this is my test week.

We are soooo close! I'm feeling some nerves, but overall am ready to get this done and move into the next chapter.

Three more sleeps until surgery day! Tomorrow I do my covid test, the next day I get my surgery time, and the day after - it's done! This has been a multi-year journey, a couple years of contemplation, then a full year of active participation in my clinic's program. Hard to believe it's finally happening.

@Beccs2011 and @LisaZar I see we are surgery day pals - wishing you both the best of luck!

Yes we are! I think Mondy I am just going to drink water and eat popsicles! I wont feel like eating for a while so I hope to make a jump here. Good luck and stay in touch!

I had my gastric sleeve done on Thursday. I’m not so much in pain as I am in discomfort. It’s difficult to drink the minimum amount of liquid. My fiancé bought fast food for himself yesterday and the smell of it almost made me gag.

My surgery was February 1, 2021.

Im with you Nicassa! my surgery is Tuesday. I did everything else, but I just have to my covid 19 test then its on for 7am tuesday monday morning! Im stoked! I only had a week to prep, but to be honest with you, I was supposed to start thursday, and I started friday! lol, its lent season and I just had to get them snowcrabs, crawfish and boiled shrimps in! lol, Im good now. on popsicles, fairlife chocalate, water and bone broth. I lost 6lbs just that quick! I was 245 when I weighed in wednesday and as for today, Im 239 real time. Im cannot believe this! so if Im losing doing this, I can just imagine after the surgery! wow
