I felt like I had heartburn and then felt nauseous when they wheeled my bed from recovery to my room. Once I was in my stable bed in my room I went straight to sleep for several hours and felt fine aside from the annoyingly loud nurse who decided to shout at her coworkers in the hallway

Thanks to everyone for the kind words and positive thoughts. I will say day 3 was a definite turning point for me. I've been able to have applesauce and cream of chicken Soup. No problems with any of it! I'm definitely feeling more human today than I have since my surgery Monday . The swelling in my tummy is starting to o down and the bruising is getting lighter. I'm moving around easier with so much less pain. Just feels like sore muscles at this point. I did get on the scale today and am still 1.5 lbs over where I was on day f surety but I'm not concerned. With all the fluids they filled me with and all the liquids I've been drinking the past 3 days I have no doubt this is normal For anyone going into the surgery or just coming out, know that it DOES get better and you will feel better. It just takes a few days for your body and mind to adjust Thank you all again for helping me though he tough days

Bay Area here. Sleeved 11/26 at Kaiser Richmond by Dr Fisher Everyday is getting easier . First day today in soft foods (applesauce) and so far so good!

I'm also 2 days post op and am not sure how I feel at this point. I'm happy to be home but feeling emotional and unsure. I've been able to get my Water in and sugar free Popsicles. No nausea or vomiting at all. Can keep all the meds down. I'm site but not in any real pain Not sure why I feel like crying all the time I'm holding on to the fact that everyone says these first days are the worst! Hopefully things only get better from this point on Congrats to everyone on their new sleeve!

My surgeon gave me before and after pictures. Its amazing and gross at the same time LOL My stomach was HUGE compared to my new pouch!

Surgery yesterday went well. No issues other than a few moments of nausea but they started diluting the pain med in my IV and that solved that! I never once used my morphine drip. Didn't need it at all Just got approved to be discharged. So happy to be going home and getting started on the new me! I hope everyone else is doing great! Thanks to everyone for the kind thoughts and prayers. They were very much appreciated! Take care everyone! Julianne

All checked in! Now the wait begins.... Message said arrive at 6am for 8 am surgery but apparently it's 8am arrival for 10am surgery. I'm anxious to so something other than sit and wait...and I'm SO thirsty!! Losers bench here I come

Tomorrow is the day! It's finally here . I'm packing my bag and getting my liquids and vitamins all ready for the week. I can't wait for it to be over so I can be on the other side where the losing can start! Good luck Novembers!!

This is one of the side effects my case worker talked to me about. Apparently it's completely normal

I'm also scheduled for surgery on 11/26 and am currently on vacation. I've allowed myself a few beers followed by a TON of Water for the last two days. After tomorrow no more alcohol for me. I wanted to enjoy my vacation but I want my surgery and my new life more!! Good luck!!

Sweetv123 I'm Nov 16th too in SF Bay Area

Surgery is scheduled in less than a week and I have a terrible case of the "what ifs"! Not about the surgery but about after and all the changes physically and mentally. So much to think about.... Anyone else experiencing this? Good luck and congrats to all the Novembers!

You look amazing! Congrats .

Single in Cali with a sleeve surgery date of 11/26 Hoping to break the cycle of dating crappy losers because I've seen myself as the fat girl no one could possibly be interested in Looking forward to the new me!

5'5 highest weight 225 current weight 199 sleeve surgery scheduled for 11/26!!

I'm scheduled for Nov 26th. It's coming up quickly! I'm not so nervous about the surgery itself, more about staying under goal weight up until surgery and all the changes after surgery. Otherwise I'm excited and ready!! Good luck Novembers! Jules

Thank you!! I found out today first thing this morning. I'm excited and overwhelmed at the same time Marcia let me know if you hear back, I have my fingers crossed for you I'll let you know how it goes tomorrow and what all is involved so you can know what to expect. I'm positive you'll be right behind me with a date Jules

Missrose I got my surgery date! And it's two weeks from today! I'm excited and nervous at the same time I'm mostly nervous that when I go tomorrow to meet with the case manager I will have gained weight and she will cancel everything! Today I'm doing my lab work and tomorrow I'll be at Kaiser Richmond all day for a class, physical, and meet with case manager. It's all happening so fast!! How was your weekend? How are things going with you? Jules

Marcia I agree. Only you know what's best for you. Dr Fisher wouldn't have approved you for surgery if he felt it wasn't beneficial to you Don't let your family get you down. Maybe they will come around. And age shouldn't matter! It's about your health. If this is something you feel strongly about doing and feel its the best thing for you and your Dr agrees then you should do what is right for you. I hope you're family can see the benefits and be excited and happy for you Hang in there! Julianne

Hey Marcia Checking in to see how your week went? And how was the class? Jules

Hi Marcia I don't think I've taken that one yet. I had a 2 hour class I had to take before I could get a referral, and then had the 4 hour class where they gave me the binder. Let me know how it is and what it's like I will be at the next support group on Nov 7. I'd love to meet you in person Hope your week is going great so far Jules

Hey Marcia! I'd like that too. Been a rough week for me as well, but today's a new day and we'll get these 8lbs off!!! We'll keep each other on track and do it together Jules

Hi Missrose I'm in almost the exact same position as you! Also going through Kaiser Richmond with Dr Fischer and have 8 lbs to lose I had my visit with the psychologist last week. Fingers crossed we can both get rid of these last 8 lbs and get our surgery dates scheduled Jules
