Sleeve Siren

My actual surgery was only one hour!

Hey all. The pain was more than I expected!!! I've been urinating every 2 hours and thankfully I didn't have a lot of gas pain. I have however had my fair share of nausea and my face is hot but I have a normal temperature. I've walked the hallways six times. Passed the swallow study and just had my first meal: 1/2 Popscicle, 2 cubes of Jello, 5 spoons of broth and 3 oz of Water over the past 2.5 - 3hours. I'm being discharged at 6 pm. I hope everyone's experience continues to improve.

Hey. Mine was yesterday. I has way more pain than I expected yesterday. Today is much better the staff has been great. Waiting on my swallow study and liquid tray to determine what time I get to go home today. Wasn't yours yesterday too? If so how are you?

This is it! Heading to the hospital now. Surgery starts at 9 am. Picture Caption "Peace To The Pounds!!"

I have three scripts liquid Tylenol with Codeine $15, Lovenox $15, and liquid Prilosec (couldn't find this one and it was just a precaution).

Great job, Hun! ^^^

Me!!! Let's get this party started!! You ready?

Looking good!

Go head girl!!

October 16th here as well. It's starting to sink in…life changes forever in just three days!

I have got stylish cornrows in preparation for my surgery on Wednesday. I don't even want to have to think about hair for a couple of weeks.

Yeah Jello is heaven and I had some Swanson chicken broth today. It was a nice change from shakes but I only drank half the can before I'd had enough. I bought the sample pack of unjury too I'm going to try the chicken soup and unflavored tomorrow. Oh and the before & after pics as well as the success stories are definitely inspirational but my current stomach ain't feeling none of that. 3 more days, 3 more days, 3 more days…whoo-sah

I'm trying, I really am. This blows. Thanks for the encouragement.

Thank you!

Whoo child yesterday and today were rough! I wanna eat regular food! I so wish my diet wasn't so strict. I wish I could fast forward to Wednesday so this can be over. How's yours going?

Congrats on a successful surgery! Mine is October 16th at Virginia Hospital Center with Dr. Salameh. Please tell me more about your experience: who was your surgeon, what happened when you arrived at the hospital, did you have to use the special solution or just dial soap, what was your pain level post-op? I could go on but I don't want to "wear out my welcome". Send me a private message if needed.

Hey girl Oct 16th in the house!!! That's my date too. I'll be taking Optisource multivitamins (chewable), Calcium Citrate (chewable), Biotin 10,000 mcg, and maybe a sublingual B12. Are you on a pre-op diet?

Yeah, same here. My closets haven't been this clean all year. And any remaining dust bunny in my house must be shaking in its boots with fear. I've been a cleaning freak today.
