Hello everyone. I'm getting sleeved Oct 7th I'm from a little country town in Southern il and was looking for a buddy that will be having surgery around the same time, so we can talk and trade stories and help each other threw this.

Well my surgery (sleeve) is now done everything went good. They had to take my gallbladder because it was bad but everything else went good. Today it sounds like I have 2 bears fighting in my belly lol hope it stops soon. I do have a question do sleeve people get food stuck? I've seen a lot with the RNY say they do so I was wondering about the sleeve if they do.

I have surgery tomorrow at noon and IM SCARED!!!!!!! I'm sitting here second guessing my decision ugh I guess it's normal BUT I'm scared!,, wish I could just relax ugh gonna be a long long day.

Thanks I'm trying to keep busy and not think about it but it's hard. I'm so afraid of messing up and hurting and complications etc. just hope today goes by fast. Glad your doing well since your surgery.

Good question. I have surgery tomorrow and I am hoping that getting some of this weight off will ease up my back pain.

Congrats on your surgery RickMG I have mine next Tuesday and I hope it goes as well as yours. Hope you continue to heal smoothly.

I've been told so much about loosing my hair after surgery and have read a lot about it. I'm taking biotin everyday like I was told. But what I have read people loose their hair in handfuls I'm kinda nervous about this I have my surgery next Monday. Is there any other things I can do to help prevent this? My hair takes forever to grow!!!

Thanks sue jersey I know it's just a small thing to worry about. It's just I love my hair and it took 9 yrs to get it past shoulder length. But I'd rather get healthy, get this weight off and live a longer life.

My surgery is coming up in 2 weeks. I know I will have pain but is it unbearable?? I've had friends that have had it done one was in bed for bout 3 or 4 days the other well it's been over a week. I know everyone is different just wondering about how long the pain stays. Also since surgery is getting close I've found myself researching nonstop to make sure I didn't miss anything. I mean I know this is what I want and need for my health. But I've seemed to become obsessed with it. I'm so afraid I'm gonna mess up after am I over thinking everything??????

Congrats! I have my surgery Oct 7 and can't wait to begin my new life. Mine went super quick bout a month and half for everything. Hope your goes buy fast as well.

CONGRATS!!!!

Thank you for all your input. I know I will have pain, really think I'm over thinking and getting a little nervous as well.

Looking for a buddy that has a surgery date close to mine so we can help each other threw this, and begin our new journey and exchange stories etc, my surgery is Oct 7th.

Congrats on yours as well. I'm so excited for the day and to start my new life. I have a supportive husband but I'd like to be able to talk to someone who is going to go threw it or has so we can compare stories and stuff.

Finally got a date surgery is set for Oct 7th. And I'm soooo excited. Is there anyone else having surgery around the same day?

Thanks everyone and as my diet I will be on a full liquid diet for a week before and clear liquids the day before.

Went to my last appointment today and they set my date October 7 th it is!!!!! I'm so happy and ready for this new journey.

Good luck Gomekast!!!!!!! Hope you get your date!! Thank you jashantee. O Gomekast ill keep my fingers crossed

Well I have everything done. Been approved by insurance, seen the dr. Now I have to wait till Oct 9th to see the nutritionist ughhh why so long?? I'm ready to start this adventure. I know it will be worth it but this is going to be the longest month ever!!! They said as soon as I see the nutritionist then they will set up surgery but wow another month to wait as you can tell I'm ready for this.

Woohoo I called the dr today and asked if I could move my app up, due to it wasn't till next month. Now my last app is this coming Tuesday. I am so excited and ready for this.

Thanks for all the pointers. I don't really think a month is to long, it's just I'm excited and ready. I have a lot to do to prepare for this. I'm so ready to start my new life and have been for awhile and just now thought this is it I'm gonna do it.

Well I have everything done seen the dr insurance has been approved Yay!!! Only took 3 days to be approved. Now the wait for a month to see the nutritionist ugh a month, but they said when I see her I will start a 1 week pre op diet then schedule surgery. I'm sooooo excited about this journey but this next month will be the longest ever!!!!!!! I have found this talk site to be very full of info and I love reading everyone's stories. I can't wait to get the surgery date when I do I'm sure everyone will here me screaming lol. I do have a question what has everyone done to really prepare for this meaning food etc?? Any info would help.
