Get her some gatoraide and have her sip only 1 ounce every hour. Sip very slow and very little at a time and make it last for one hour!

thank you tobethin30

Can someone please tell me what the difference is between the sleeve and the sleeve plication? I am so confused!

Good to hear all is going well!

You are doing great! I am 4 days post op and still have the diareaha. I'm still on liquids and really want nothing but cold beverages to drink. I am down 17 pounds from pre op weight.

I got up and walked as soon as I could after surgery. I know I got up 8 times through the night to use the restroom the day of surgery. I also took the GasX stripes and that did help. Mine was gone within 24 hrs. I didn't start passing gas until my 2nd day post op.

I am having the sleeve done and I am sitting here wondering if I have to have that tube that you spoke of. No one mentioned a tube to me while talking to the DR. When they make sure nothing is leaking what do they do and is there any pain involved?

As soon as I had surgery the pain was gone and never came back. I've had mine out for 30 years now.

One week from today! I have to confess, this two week pre-op diet sucks and I did horrible the first week. I had to buy their food and it taste horrible!

I am ok so far! Good luck to the both of you and I will try my best to let you know how it all went.

Good luck with your surgery, mine is scheduled on March 5.

Hello everyone, I just got the news that my surgery is scheduled is for March 5.

I am happy to hear you are doing great. I do have a couple of questions for you. Can you please tell me 1. What you are eating? 2. What you are drinking and if you can drink diet soda? 3. What kind of Vitamins are you on and do you have any problems keeping them down? 4. How often do you eat and can you tell me about how much you can eat at one setting? EX.. 1/4 or 1/2 cup of food? 5. Any pain from the surgery and how long did the pain last if any? 6. Do you feel hungry? 7. Was there a period before surgery that you had a limited diet and if so what? I hope you continue to do well and I am looking forward to hearing updates. Can you tell us what your starting weight was? What do you want to get down to?
