Im feeling good now. I even went back to work yesterday. Im so excited to start on my protein shakes again tomorrow!

I'm feeling so nauseated.

During my leak test they saw something so my doctor did an endoscopy and that's when de discovered the spiraling.

Hey we are sleeve sisters! Hope that you get to feeling better soon. I stayed in the hospital for two days because my stomach had some spiraling but I'm good now. I even went back to work yesterday. Keep in touch

Actually twisted! I'm feeling good now though. I went back to work yesterday and have my first post op appointment with my doctor today. 

Buffy I stayed in the hospital for two days but since I've been home I've been able to take care of myself. My stomach has very little bruising and is healing up great. Everyone is different but I feel good but still very tired. Yesterday was my first day back to work and needless to say I slept good let night. 

I had surgery on April 4th and Ive been freezing ever since. Ive never been a cold natured person but now I cant seem to get warm. Does anyone else have this problem?

Its very different for me to say the least. I work as a pharmacy tech at a hospital and I never wear a lab coat over my scrubs because Im always hot, but I have worn one all evening and everyone has noticed. My hands, nose, and feet are like ice and i cant seem to warm them up no matter what. I always thought that I would rather be cold than hot but now Im not so sure.

I tried the peach one from GNC and I could barely get it to my lips to taste it because the smell was so bad. No one in my entire household would drink it, and I havent bought another one since

I drank that nasty awful stuff and had no results for at least 10 hours and even my results were very litte. Good luck with your surgery tomorrow

I had my surgery on April 4th, stayed in the hospital for two days, and I am now back to work on April 9th as a pharmacy tech. Each situation is unique to each individual. Good luck

I went out to a buffet with my family for Easter and it wasnt bad at all. I helped all of the kids get their food from the buffet and then i had some soup. Very little soup might I add, but it was eaiser than I thought it was going to be. I enjoyed their company and wasnt walking out stuffed from the meal. All in all it was a good dinner! This is a permanent lifestyle change. You cant just stay home because you cant have what they are having. Pick something that you can have and enjoy your family instead of the meal

I had surgery on April the 4th and have yet to have my stomach growl. Are you getting in enough fluids?

I'm five days out and I don't have a leak but my stomach is spiraling (slightly twisted). Since I left the hospital I've been feeling good just a little tired and hopefully as the swelling goes down my new stomach will straighten itself out 

I'm five days out and have found that burping frequently helps tremendously. You just have to figure out how to work the bubbles out 

When I say spiraling I mean that my stomach is kind of twisted. I had Dr Sudakarahan at the New Life Weight loss center in Herrin. He was great! He checked up on my all of the time and made sure that the nurses were on top of things!

Has anyone had to take Mag Citrate to empty their bowels before surgery and how was the experience?

Today I'm starting my three shakes a day until April 1st then it's two days of full liquids befor surgery on April 4th. I hope that I can stick with it till then! Des anyone have any advice for me?

I'm On my first day of the pre op diet as well. We can do this!

Does anyone know how long the procedure actually takes?

I'm so excited I finally got a surgery date! April 4th is the day

I'm getting sleeved in April 4th

I also have FEP BCBS Standard option and I only had to do a three month diet. I don't know about the out of pocket costs though, I've wondered the same thing myself but haven't gotten any answers. Let me know if you find anything out.

I have FEP BCBS standard option and was wondering what my out of pocket expenses might be. I read all of the info and it says that I have to pay 15% of the plan allowance but I want to know what that means in dollars and cents. Has anyone got any info?
