SleeveandRNYchica

congratulations! you are doing great in such a short time frame!

You look great!

Justine, if they did have to put a camera down there you wouldn't know because you would be asleep........Don't they have to put the bougie down your throat to size the sleeve? stop spazing on me chica...you got 3 DAYS!!! I would not let you back out if you found out such news and I know your phobia of endoscopes ect. you crack me up!

Good luck with that. I have to say blood clots scare me. I have never experienced them. I guess my biggest issue is knowing that I have one because they don't always make themselves known. I really hope they get to the bottom of it for you and soon.

I am so sorry you are going through this. I know you mentioned in your previous post a possible underlying clotting disorder. Did they find something or did they determined this was directly related to your surgery? I am wishing you a speedy recovery. I am glad they found the clots.

I am not even on FB. I think they may be having some glitches!

can i just say that thing is driving me crazy. I have turned the sounds off and everything and everytime I change pages it reactivates. I even tried logging out and the chat was still there.....

it is not working for me....

Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Congratulations!!! I know there are several of us that are older that want to conceive post op! U give me hope!!!! Please keep us post.

Wishing you a speedy recovery!

Great question! I will ask about my follow-ups.

I am writing my doc and email with my list of questions because I am sure to forget something during my pre-op appt. What am I missing? Here is what I have so far: Per Surgery Questions- What is your procedue to reduce the risk of blood clots? What are other possible complications? How long is the surgery? How many incisions will I have? How many days will I be in the hospital? I have read about bougie size, what size do you use? And what determines what size you use? How long should I be out of work? When can I start exercising after surgery? What type of Vitamins should I take post surgery? Will I work with Claudia for pre/post-surgery diet? How long after surgery can I have sex? What is your recommend what time for pregnancy after surgery? 12 months, 15 months? Thanks!

Keeping my fingers crossed for you!
