I'm the 18th and SUUUUUUPER excited!

My surgery is tomorrow. To this point I have lost 24.5 pounds and am ready to do this. I have to be honest I am a little freaked out because I have not spent a night in the hospital since my birth.

Don't worry......I went in at 11, surgery at 1:30, post Op at 3:45 and in my room by 6PM.

Spent 1 night and was sent home at 10AM the next day.

I must say.....it was very easy and I actually slept decent that night.

You got this, Tony. I go in on Friday for mine and I, like you, have never spent a night in the hospital. Keep us posted on how everything goes and good luck!

Congratulations!! I had mine August 16. 2021. I had the sleeve. Was only in hospital 25 hours, I am 69 years young. Full liquids out of hospital, today I ate a soft boiled egg. Ate about 3/4 of it. Tolerated well. I too was so nervous, almost backed out. 7 days past surgery. Down 12 pounds. Hard time drinking protein drinks, going to look for some clear liquid tomorrow. Good luck to you, I am so glad I did it! Longer life, better quality of life ahead!

I am counting the days to a poached egg......right now energy is hard to come by.

Good luck & stay focused.

Hi all I am new here! But I have read the most recent posts, I had the same concerns. I had my VSG 08/23/21 I promise it’s mind over matter! The best thing you can do once your put in your room is walk, walk, walk, and walk! Walk some more! Don’t wait for your nurse to get you out the bed, by the time my nurse stopped by I had already did 2 laps! My gas had substantially subsided by the morning of day 2. Once you pass gas it’s down hill! I only had one dry heaving fit, where I was trying to throw up but couldn’t. It’s been 7 days, and I have found that eating a large cup of fish ice is best, instead of trying to sip and wait! I just added unsweetened apple sauce too!

Hi I’m new here just had my sleeve surgery August 25,2021

Hello

Hello, all! I was sleeved on 8/25/21. The worst pain for me was from the gas. But after taking Gas-X and walking a bit the first couple of days, that pain disappeared. I did sleep a lot, but today I am feeling no pain at all. But I am looking forward to going from clear liquids to full liquids in a couple of days. I am so happy I found this forum!

Sounds like good progress. Day 6 post RYN Op and feeling better but still low energy.
