    Not Taking My Vitamins

    Me too, I was told to take 2 per day along with Calcium.
  2. Dont worry, you wont remember anything....
  3. If your doc can give you the patch for nausea it makes a world of difference and it stays on for 3 days. I still had the zofran that melts under my tongue as a back up, but havent needed since 3 days after surgery

    I'm a 10/24 sleeve too!! I am ready to get this dang on drain out, it's driving me crazy.......... Apparently as long as I have more than 50ml of out put per day it has to stay in., I have almost 3 times that..... Congrats to us all for having the courage to take the step of being sleeved

    Drain Help

    News flash!!!!! My mom bought me some cranberry juice, and it is absolutely the best thing since sliced bread!!! OMG It is getting rid of ALL THE GAS that the gas-x stripes are missing!!!! I know its tmi, but I haven't had this much relief since my surgery date without pain. I'm not sure if its the combination of the two, but its awesome......

    Drain Help

    My nurse called to check in with me today, and she said it sounded normal also just to keep clean gauze on it. Thank you both for responding, I will admit that I am having a hard time getting 64 oz of fluids down though. I almost have no desire to put anything in my mouth....

    Advice Please!

    This is very life changing, and I know I had lots of anxiety all the way up to my surgery on 10/24. i will admit that I did trust my surgeon, and the staff (II was out patient). I agree with the other poster that you want too make sure you trust your surgeon, because they all have different views on the whole process. Here is a brief over view of how it was for me: Surgery - outpatient but i had a appt to follow up the next day for fluids as a precaution that he does for all his outpatient surgeries, not all his patients are allowed to have their surgery at the surgery center either (center was awesome) Pre op diet - very easy, for 2 weeks nothing fried, no carbonated beverages, increase Protein to 60-80 mg p/day including to shakes 2 days prior- clear fluids only 1 week post op- clear fluids only Had to have endoscopy , surgeon found hiatal hernia that her repaired during the surgery Funny thing that did happened, by the Time I had my surgery my CPAP was too big, so my surgeon made sure I got another one the next day after he tried to get it fit himself.

    Thank you, I only take the pain meds when I have to, because I know they can cause nausea too
