Misslorlor

I was sleeved on June 26 and everything went extremely well. No nausea, no problem getting my water or protein in. Then BOOM! Coming up on four weeks out my whole world got turned upside down. I am so stressed out that I know it cannot be good for me. I just had surgery and am going to lose my insurance? Am really scared of the fact I will have no insurance to cover post op care. Devasted......

I had really bad pain in my right incision. When I left the hospital it looked like my surgeon had tried to sew a button on my belly, it was all pulled in an hurt terribly when I stood up especially. I am coming up on four weeks post op. Last week it was hurting so bad one day and the next day it was much better. Now it is just really tender. I think as the swelling goes down and healing continues it gets tender to the touch but you dont have that burning feeling anymore. Hang in there, it DOES get better. And by the way it is not all pulled in anymore either.

I was sleeved on June 26th and have lost 18 lbs. I am on mushee foods (cottage cheese, mashed potatoes, cream of wheat, creamed soups, scrambled eggs) I absolutely detest the scrambled eggs, they do not go down well at all no matter how soft I make them. Other than that I am getting in my protein and water with no problems.

Well....It is FINALLY here! I have to be at the hospital at 6:30 am. I am still really nervous but calm and excited all at the same time-its wierd. I still feel like I have so much to do tonight but want to rest my nerves and head too. I will talk to y'all soon....

My surgery is in 5 days and I have been REALLY freaking out! About a week ago I had someone from this site contact me that has the same surgery date and same surgeon that I do! Come to find out that my surgery is at 9am and hers is at 10:30! I found such great comfort in this. I was able to speak with her on the phone tonight and come to find out when I went for my last appt with my surgeon last Tuesday I was standing right behind her and didnt even know it! On that same visit I met another lady that is getting sleeved by my surgeon right before me! What are the odds that I would meet the two women that are having their surgery right before and after me. I realized that I was so freaked out because I felt really alone (even though my family is super supportive) No one understands our struggles like our fellow sleevers! I feel so blessed and comforted to have been able to meet both of these women. I now feel so much more at peace and am more excited than ever. I never realized that at the end of this journey I would be making new friends. Thank you ladies!

I am still pre surgery but have been trying different protein drinks and I LOVE GNC Lean Shake 25 in chocolate. I also bought the premier protein at Costco, its good but I like the GNC better.

Well....I just received my pre-op instructions from my Dr.'s office! I have to get one more set of labs drawn, pre-register at the hospital and have my last appointment with my surgeon on June 19th and then my surgery on June 26th. Feeling so many emotions and have so many thoughts twirling around in my head right now....It's all very overwhelming and scary.

My Surgeon called me Friday and moved my surgery from June 29th to June 26th. Talk about being freaked out. I know it seems silly but three days sooner really threw me for a loop!!

I am scheduled for June 29, 2012. Time is dragggggggiiiiiiiinnnnnnggggg! Just want it to be here already!
