Greetings June Sleevers! Just a quick update. I was sleeved on June 3rd. The surgery was much easier then I had anticipated. It was much easier then when I had my gallbladder out! The 1st week post op I was allowed clear liquids...the 2nd week was full liquids. Tomorrow I get to have a soft scrambled egg and am sooo looking forward to it! Actually I get to progress to pureed foods. I am looking forward to more flavors and tastes. Since before surgery I have not been hungry. It is weird, but I am glad. I have been able to drink, no, make that sip, 70 oz of water almost every day. I seem to only get in 40 grams of protein...still have a ways to get to the 70 grams a day that the doc wants. I am glad this group has been here...it provided me with good info and support before surgery!

Greetings June sleeves! I had my sleeve yesterday, June 3rd! All has gone well. My surgery was in the morning and I was up walking in the early afternoon. I have only been allowed ice chips so far. I have not experienced any hunger since Sat after the bowel prep. Right now I am just thirsty. I go to Tue surgeons office later this morning for a leak check and then on to a 2 1/2 drive home.

June 3rd!

I have to wait until the second or third week of May to do the testing...they need to be within 30 days before surgery...the orders are hanging on the fridge waiting.

Greetings all! I am scheduled for surgery on June 3rd. I've completed all the appt's, meeting with the psych, and have been approved by insurance. I am excited and nervous.
