I am so sorry to hear you are having such a hard time.

I has surgery 1/14. My doc just said nothing to eat or drink after midnight. I did just fine. When I got to the hospital I was asked several times from different people when was the last time I ate and I told them 10 pm. They did not ask me what I ate.

I am 7day post ops today. I really did not have any gas pains but I did get nauseous when I drank or ate anything for a few days. Not too hungry but want to eat something really good. My mind is playing tricks on me.

My doc does all surgires on Monday's and u discharge Thursday

I had surgery on Monday and had one today. I left the hospital yesterday and they were ok with me not going yet when I left.

How long did u stay in the hospitable? I was sleeved mon the 14th and came home on the 17th. I can not do the puréed meats .

I had my sleeve done on monday and will leave the hospital tommorrow. I am still in pain and nauseous, but it is getting better.

I had my sleeve done on Monday and I am still in the hospital. Feeling better everyday. I am in pain and have some nausea.

I am have United Healthcare. I work for UHS. They told me on the phone I am covered for Bariatric Surgery and only gave the requirements of BMI 35 to 39 with two co-morbitities or above 40. I am worried I read all the hell the insurance companies have been putting people.

Congratulations!!!! I still remember the feeling when I was told I was approved

I finally have a surgery date. January 14th... Just checking if anyone else has that date also....

I am Januray 14th I am super excited. I had a Cardiac consult for clearance and he said my EKG was abnormal and wants me to do a stress test. So i had the initial visit and then he wanted me to do the stress test and THEN come back for a follow up appointment. He said he did not think the EKG was a big thing. I think he wants the visits. I am worried that this might put back my surgery date. I have been a good girl and jumped in and over all the hoops

Where do you live?

Thank you so much for giving your feedback. I apprieciate hearing others progress/experience.

I have a cold also.... I am glad I got it now and not later. It is one of those colds that I can't get rid of. I follow the forum "E-Waiting Room". It is really making me mentally prepared for post surgery. People are posting up until they are getting their IV and as soon as they are able to post. Some people post a summary of their pre and post op experience in the hospital. I am so worried about post surgery .

I am having my surgery at Wellington Reginal Hospital West Palm Beach, Florida. Dr. Wizman is doing my surgery.

Sorry, but one day you will be able to have them. Where are you having your surgery?

That does sound a bit harder than mine, but at least it is only a few weeks. You should be able to do handle it.

I have to go on a diet two weeks before. Mine will not be too hard. unlimited protein, 2 fruits, 2 veg and 2 starchy carbs. my problem will be no soda!!!!

Three weeks to go.... Iam getting more excited every day. I still can't believe this is really going to happen. How my life is going to change!!!!

This is so cool to have another person to start a new life with!!!!! I am not worried about the surgery it self more worried about the recovery. I saw the surgery on You Tube and was shocked how simple it looked.

My name is Tamamara. i am just trying to get past all of these clearances I have to do. I had a cardiac appointment yesterday and now they want a stress test (he just wants to get some visits out of me). I did pulmonary testing yesterday and will see the MD for their blessing tommorrow. I thought the insurance company was going to be the problem.

That is so cool.... Now I have some to do the count down with. I am having my surgery at Wellington Hospital West Palm Beach. What about you?
