It was tough first few days. I'm home and drinking Water and protien. So far today 28oz of water and 22 grams if protien. Will keep pushing. Here us the before tuesday the day before surgery. 9/4/2012 [ATTACH]4828[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]4828[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]4829[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]4828[/ATTACH]

I was sent home with antacid pills and gallstone prevent pills. Do they come in liquid? I cant stand crushing then and the after taste. I'm afraid to gag so I'm doing it very slow. I'm afraid ill make a whole if I drink it to fast. Can i?

Thanks I'm going to get the zantac in liquid. The rest ill ask about. It's nice your so close I'm in Arlington all the time.

Thats it you don't know how much I wish I had my own pillow.

Omg good luck I send best wishes your way. I took a,few sentimental things in my bag.

No leak test he said he sewed the inside for overkill and put some solution like glue. I saw this done on youtube and an happy he did it this way. Made just feel reassured he took the extra time to do it. He said he checked everything before he closed me up. He was great. Dr Hess Boston medical center. He came to see me every day I was iv the hospital so nice.

I do feel some cramping but I'm just stand up when I drink.

Sorry I meant don't not font

If your still in the hospital you font have to worry to much you're getting hydrated with the iv. But I keep think of the Dr tellling me to exercise my stomach. So just drink from the medicine cup slowly. Very slowly.

Does if actually take for the inside to heal? Roughly? Just thinking about all they did in there and wanted to know about how long to heal from the inside out.

I'm getting really scared. My sleeve is set for Wednesday and I feel like I need to get everything done before tomorrow. I'm Freaking out that I'm not prepared. I have posted before that I don't have much support here at home because my family doesn't want me to have it. Well my 2 youngest have come around but my oldest and my husband haven't. I've made all the arrangements for the younger ones to stay with friends and they are fine with it. They are 16 and 13. My oldest is in Europe until Sunday so that's not bad but I'm worried when everyone gets home. I hope I can be up and about by Sunday. Also I'm so scared I'm going to die and it will be all my fault (I'm catholic hence guilt). I know nobody wants to hear that but I really haven't been afraid until now. I'm rambling Sorry.

I'm alive tired drinking ok trying to get in the protien just really tired. Thanks to everyone

I can't believe I actually made it. I walk all the way to the hospital to try and clear my head. Just waiting surgery at 2. Hope I can post after.

I can't find them anywhere. Anyone know where I can get them. I'm packing up my stuff, finished my last day at work cleaned up the office, have all my paper work in order, I took the magnesium drink so gross nothing yet but I'm sure ill be up later taking care of business. I'll head over to the hospital around 11. They called and said my time is now 2 not 1. Cried a little so I hope its my only breakdown.

I'm going through the same thing but I know ill fail again I have to go through with it. I'm scared very scared I'm going to the hospital alone and asked that no one come until I'm in my room. I just know that I need to be alone.

Wow I wish I was early. I don't want my Dr to be to tired. Good luck ladies I hope all goes well for all of us. I'm going to try and post as soon as I can.

No but ill get some tomorrow on my way. I didn't think about it. What time is your surgery? Are you scared?

Thank you so much I have been doing my research and thanks for your thoughts. I am doing this for myself my kids are bigger and its time. All the diet all the exercise and I'm still fat. I just want to be normal once and not look at a picture and see this huge head and huge arms. I know I'm ready just getting really scared. I can't wait to feel nothing with the anesthesia and get it over with.

Good luck. Let us know how it goes.

Good luck. Let us know how it goes.

I was told nothing. They gave me a soap I have to shower with the night before and the morning of. Also no deodorant. It's going to be tough without my wrinkle cream. I asked your not touching my face? The Dr said nothing.

I will be sleeved on 9/5 with Dr. Hess from Boston medical center. I'll let you all know how it goes. He's been great so far.
