I went in on a Friday. Surgery was 50minutes long. Was in recovery for about 1 1/2 hours. Was sent to my room afterwards and left Sunday afternoon. No complications. My dr wants all his patients to be in for 2 nights. Best of luck to you.

I'm 3 days post op. anytime I drink, no more than an oz at a time, I get that tightness feeling. How long does that last?

Thanks for all of your feedback. I'm trying to walk walk walk but man my shoulder is killing me!

Congrats! So refreshing to hear such a nice story. I'm 3 days out and hoping for relief. Way to go!

We have the same story! I was sleeved Friday and had bad nausea. Luckily no vomiting. I have my post op appointment on Thursday also! So far I'm trying to get my liquids down. So scared of dehydration. Hope our days get easier. good luck!

How many do you take at once? In 2 days post op and needing some. I have 2 with me but should I just do 1 for now?

Tomorrow is my surgery. Next week I have an appointment with my pcp and I will ask to get it. Thanks for easing my mind.

I meant to say copper IUD. I would love something that has no hormones!

Thank goodness for this thread! I just stopped my pill 2 days before surgery. My Dr. Didn't really say yes or no as to taking it. He asked if I could dissolve it in my mouth. I said I don't know I never tried. So I just decided to stop it and get something new. Anybody use an IUD? I'm so scared of accidents.

I just got the UP band by jawbone. I love it. It does it all and it's a nice stylish band. One friend thought it was a nice leather bracelet. It soon will link up with my fitness pal. I like how it buzzes every 15 minutes I'm idle. Research them all and see what fits your life style. Good luck

Hey everyone. So my pre op diet is no starches and to have lean meats. One day before surgery is all liquids. I'm so lucky with this diet. I thought I would do all liquids. My question is the whole starch thing. What should I avoid when it comes to fruits and veggies? I know I stay away from bread, rice, Pasta etc. I love to eat roasted cauliflower with freshly squeezed lemon juice with crushed garlic. Is that bad? to starchy? Now that I think about it, looks like a liquid diet would have been easier. Not many choices. Thanks.

Thanks! That's a good idea about stopping to walk around. Didn't think of that. Yippee!

Hey Everyone!! A couple of weeks ago a friend of mine from NJ called and said she was coming to visit and had tickets to Celine Dion in Vegas. She asked if i would go and I said, "heck yeah!!" Friday, my surgeons office called and said my Surgery date is the 22nd!!! I was expecting late March early April, not that im complaining. Ive been waiting almost 2 years to hear those words. After the excitement dwindled down, I thought to myself, "oh dear!" My friend booked the ticket to come out here. Now, I would like your opinion. I live about a 2 hour drive from Vegas. My hubby will be driving and I will be about 2 weeks post-op. I have a master plan about packing a cooler and being super prepared with my food and shakes. My friend is super supportive and so is hubby. I will be in the soft foods stage as well. We will be staying one night. Am I going to be miserable? Is it too soon? Any pointers would help Thanks everyone!

Thanks! Congrats on your surgery! It's good to hear from someone 11 days out. Now I'm super excited.

That's great! Yes my brain is going a million miles a minute. We got this!!! Best of luck to you.

Totally can relate. I cant wait for that day. Congrats on your success.

Yippeee!! Losers bench, here we come!!!

Just got the news earlier. 2/21!!!! Yippeeeeee:)

Approved today!!!! Surgery date 2/21. I'm in disbelief. It's taken me almost two years to get to this day. Congrats to all and best of luck xoxo
