My sleeve is scheduled August 12th. I was afraid the hospital was calling me to cancel, but it was scheduling my preop labs and COVID test. Feeling very nervous.

Oh God, I never thought of that, where are you, I’m in uk, so fingers crossed for all of us

I am in Texas.

Oh I pray not another lockdown, not looking like it here in London tbh, over here it’s mainly the teens and early 20 year old getting it, and they started giving the vaccine to the 16 year olds now

is it bad in Texas ?

I just want to get this op done and move on, popping all my vitamins daily and purchased little pots to make soup !!

One week liquid diet! I got 2 weeks. I see some have no pre op diet. Such varying processes between Docs and Hospitals

I got 10 days low fat, all I want to do is eat sweets and I’m not a sweets person, ate a chewy sweet earlier and broke a tooth ? so that will teach me, now a visit and expense of dentist !!

How are all the early August surgeries going!? I had mine aug it’s 4th and I’ve seen so many with similar dates. Hope everyone is doing well pre op and post op. I’m still in major pain 3 days after..one specific incision is hurting a lot, but I’ve finally starting taking in more Protein Shakes and some sherbet etc. lmk how you guys are doing !

august 2nd- I haven’t hit my water intake yet since being home. I either hit my protein or come very very close. Pain is ok… there’s a pulling in my stomach of course when I stand and do things. I have one incision that has been giving me heck since surgery (it’s the most painful and most tender but gets better by the day). It’s my largest one.
also does anyone experience a squeezing feeling? The squeezing is stronger in the middle of the night so I wake up and start sipping water.

August 2nd as well! How are y’all feeling

I’m August 9th I’m sooooo excited!!!

Thanks for sharing! Surgery on Tuesday the 10th. I am concerned about dehydration that first week of recovery. You have helped put my mind at ease a little bit more!

August 12th

I just had my VGS on 8/2 ??

How are you feeling ?

Hi,

I am scheduled August 23, 2021 for gastric sleeve surgery.

I’m both scared and excited!

I had Lap Band surgery in 2009 and lost 80lbs. I felt great and I loved the way I looked.

A few months back I had the Lap Band removed and over the past several years I’ve put on 50lbs between not going to the gym during COVID-19 and the extra weight makes it difficult to get around.

However I was just reading the thread on what you are looking forward to most after your surgery and I must say I was very encouraged by what I read!
