Hi - I am new to the site. My sleeve surgery is scheduled for March 10th. Anyone else here set for March? I am super anxious but also looking forward to it. I had a lap band in 2009 and a slip in 2014 that required removal. Curious as to what your pre-op diet looks like. I am on partial liquids now and full liquids for two weeks before the surgery.

Nice to meet everyone!

I’m scheduled for March 10 too!

March 24!

Welcome. You are in a great place for tips and support. I just had my surgery today and I felt so prepared after all the help and support from these chats.

I had mine done March 3, had a little issue so I was just sent home yesterday. I just started Phase 2 diet, your body sure tells you when something is not right.
I am so thankful for this site, always nice helpful info

Thinking of you & everyone else having surgery today @LoveSimcha ?

Same here! Tomorrow is the big day!

BLESSINGS EVERYONE!!!! IM SO EXCITED FOR YALL

Hi Everyone! I’ve been sleeved today! Feeling pretty good - not much pain but during surgery they did give a pain med that is supposed to last three days so who really knows how I’m actually feeling lol
I’ve been drinking with no issues except if I sip too fast, I get a cramp in my stomach so I won’t be doing that again.
So far so good and I get to go home tomorrow G-d willing

I was sleeved yesterday evening. Overall, the pain from the incision sites is almost non-existant. I walk every hour and this is fine. However, every sip of liquid I drink causes irritating pain near where the esophogaus meets the stomach. This as well as gurgling noises and nausea.

Do you guys think this is normal based on your own experience? I still haven't seeny doctor after the operation. Thanks.

I’m having the same - drs said sip slower and leave time in between but they were concerned. My pain is under my left breast when it happens. Glad you are feeling good overall!

I was sleeved yesterday morning! Everything went well except they did a liver biopsy on me which is making me nervous. Yesterday and last night was BAD leaving me to think WHAT HAVE I DONT TO MYSELF. This morning I am a bit better. Walking around and doing breathing exercises. Having trouble getting liquids down as I’m having intense pain when I swallow and the liquid meets the stomach. Just trying to power through and remind myself in the long run this will all have been worth it!! Thank god for pain medicine though. I wish it would help with the gas pains!

I was sleeved on March 1st. I am definitely excited... 16 pounds down and has been moved up to soft foods. This journey shall be interesting!

Glad you are doing well. I was sleeved on the 3rd, I got to start soft foods this morning, haven't checked weight yet, waiting to do that at my two week follow-up next Thursday. Not really had any trouble.

I got weight yesterday at my follow up appointment. I've lost 16 pounds already!

March 29th!
