What Do I Need For The Hospital And For The First Week At Home?
swmorris replied to Avillias's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My surgery was on sept 12 th. the only thing I would add to the list would be socks and tennis shoes. My dr was insistent on walking as much as possible. I spent two nights and walked in my hospital socks ( w treads) on hard tile floor. My incisions are sore but my calves are killing me from walking with no support! It hurts to walk even today which is 4 days post op. -

All Sept 12 Sleevers - Are You Ready?
swmorris replied to wallman's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm sept 12 th also. Tomorrow I will start my 7 th day of the preop clear liquid diet with protein shakes for meals. I haven't had any food other than jello, sf Popsicles, and broth. It really hasn't been too bad. I'm also pre admitted and ready to go! -
Hi everyone. My name is Sabrina and my sleeve date is Sept 12th. I've started my pre---op diet today and feel like this is going to be a miserable two weeks. I know it will be worth it, but worried about starving before then! Any tips?

Hi everyone. I went to my first dr appmt yesterday. I had my psych visit beforehand and have medical clearance. I am having a scope done Aug 21 and will set a surgery date afterwards. I am so excited and hate that I have to do the scope first. It isn't mandatory but I do have heartburn and some reflux so I thought it would be a good idea. I'm nervous about the prep diet. It sounds terrible! Any suggestions on how to get through it?
