I love this post--you should write a book!!! congrats on your success so far

I had surgery on Thursday and went back for half a day that following Tuesday. I have a desk job so it wasn't too bad--I was just exhausted when I got home. Just make sure you don't push yourself too hard

I actually have a kidney disease (pre surgery) called IGA Nephropathy. Basically the filters in my kidney don't work properly therefor I spill protein into my urine. More than likely you will just be told to maintain your blood pressure and eat healthy to keep your kidney function at 100%...losing weight is critical, my nephrologist was very excited about me having this surgery. It is a manageable disease and I do get Uti's pretty frequently and have become septic twice from them. Just take really good care of yourself, and if you suspect a UTI, get it treated immediately!!! Good luck, all will be fine I'm sure

I just received my date and I am so excited, anxious, nervous. Any advice is appreciated. This is my first post and I need sleeve buddies!!

I was sleeved on July 25 also. I haven't had any major pain--just a little soreness the of surgery after I would walk. Day 2 was awful for me-every sip of water I took made me throw up. Today seems like I am in a better routine..I just have to take slow drinks and make sure I swallow it down good or all of the gas pushes it back out. Had a few bites of chicken broth and it stayed down so I feel like we are making progress!!

July sleeves have a lot of twins!!! I too, Have twin boys that are 4!!! I was sleeved today and I'm in the hospital now. Surgery was not bad at all. I feel a little sore and the nauseated feeling comes an goes.ive been up walking the halls....it isn't bad at all. good luck you guys

Thankyou so much

I have a question. When I did my pre admit testing, my WBC came back high so they told me to go to my general doctor to get clearance. It turns out I had MRSA. I have been on antibiotics and went back yesterday to test my WBC again and it came back in normal limits and my general doctor ok'd me for surgery. My question is, will my weight loss surgeon still perform the surgery on me?

Good luck Karen

Good luck tomorrow

Congrats to you also!! I already have taken my nutrition class, I have my preadmit testing on the 17th though. I am really nervous also--I'm so scared something is going to go wrong between now and then...I'm praying not, so ready to start my new life

My doctor is Dr Schmitt as well and my date is july25!!!

My surgery date is July 25th...I'm nervous and excited. Good luck to everyone going in this week!!!
