I am scheduled for May the 3rd!

With the current lockdown in TO, not sure if Surgery will be postponed or stay put!

Hope all goes well. Kinda excited for the new journey and kinda nervous too!

Anyone else ON for May?

Hi. I’m new to this app/forum. I’m having a gastric sleeve tomorrow (May 3) in Syracuse, NY. I was originally scheduled in Dec, but COVID stopped that. Now that the day is really here I’m starting to get nervous about it. The only ones I have told are my 2 kids, my sister, 2 close friends at work & of course my boss.

I am having my surgery tomorrow, too! Only my husband knows that I am having surgery. I told my adult children that I am having a hernia repaired—they would not understand why I elected to have weightloss surgery. My 28 year old daughter is a fitness and health nut, and she thinks all I need to do is eat better and exercise (like I haven’t been doing that for the past 10 years). I will tell them the truth post-surgery—I just need to do this for me without their judgement! I am both excited and nervous! I am more nervous about what life will be like post-surgery more than I am for the surgery! In any case—we’ve got this! Good Luck tomorrow—I will send you positive thoughts from my pre-op room in TN! ?

Good luck to you too!! My 22yr old daughter was the same way, but she now understands & is very supportive. I’ll be 59 next month & single, so I’m lucky to have her on my side. I was started on a diet by my pediatrician when I was 11yrs old & have struggled also with the weight yo-yo made worse by my thyroid & hysterectomy. Thanks for responding! Nice to know I’m not alone. ☺️

I had RNY May 3. Anyone else limping along this week?

I just had my RnY on May 4th. Been home about 24 hours.

I had VSG done on May 3rd and it's so hard and painful to swallow.

I know it will in the long run. I just worry about being consistent??‍♂️

Hey all, My date is coming up here soon at the end of May. But I’m wondering, I was told I had to get a CPap By one of the ladies that worked at the hospital and be on it for six weeks before surgery. But then another lady from the hospital called and scheduled me for surgery. I don’t have a CPAP, my insurance wouldn’t approve it and the Doctor Who originally wrote the order was too lazy to fix the mistake. So I’m curious will they really turn me away on my surgery day just because I don’t have a CPAP? Really I never needed one in the first place. Have any of you heard of someone being turned away because they don’t have a CPAP with them?

Same day here! We got this! ?

Surgery was May 7th. I was released from the hospital Saturday evening. Yesterday was pretty rough with nausea and pain. Once that was under control I felt better. My mistake skipping pain pill and zofran thinking I could do without.

I took zofran first this morning and then took the remaining morning pills with 4oz of protein shake. That seemed to do the trick and keep me from wanting to throw everything up. I feel so much better today than I did yesterday. Just keep walking and sipping fluids.
