I have told just a few friends, my two daughters and my mom. So many others don't have a clue.

Sleeved as of Sept. 6th and feeling great!

I hate when they do that as well. I had a hip surgery it was at 5pm. Just try not to think about it and it's not too bad is my suggestion. Good luck!!

Met with my surgeon today and I feel so much better! He said I am the only one that these orders for atenolol have come across his desk. He said the cardiologist is going to have to have a very compelling story for him to even order the atenolol and right now he is on my side 100% and not to worry any more! So time to get excited about my new life!!!

I haven't had my surgery yet but have read some people like really cold but sometimes it hurts so room temp is best. Guess we will all find out after we are sleeved eh?

Just got home from hospital...it feels so good to be home. The IV was my biggest nuisance and of course the constant blood draws and iv meds...I'm not a good patient. So glad to hear all these good reports!

1. When you think about eating something before you eat it.
2. When everytime you have get togethers someone comments on how much more weight have you lost.
3. You can wear spandex lol - (yoga pants) & you don't look like a stuffed sausage.
4. You don't have to wear jackets or cardigans to cover up all those bulges.
5. Your pants are longer.
6. When a random guy on the street says "nice ass" lol (true story )

Mine is also September 23 in Ft Myers FL

You aren't going to want the sleeve. No NSAIDs after the sleeve. I hope all biopsies come back decent.

Getting my sleeve procedure done this Friday, September 12th. I think I'm more anxious than nervous. Just happy to be making such a big change in my life. Getting it done in south florida.

This is exactly what I thought. I'm going to discuss this long and herd with the surgeon on 9/11. My final appt with him before the surgery.

My surgeon nurse called me back and she thought I knew why I was taking it and that it was strange he prescribed it for my surgery and none of their other sleeve patients. I don't have high or even slightly elevated bp. My BP the last time I was at my surgeons office was 105/70. I don't even need a minimum dose to keep it lowered. Anyway, the nurse is going to call the cardiologist and speak to him herself and make sure it's for me and what he saw that would require that I take the medicine and no other patient they have sent to him for cardiac clearance. No migraines either. Thanks everyone for listening to me ramble on and on. I'm feeling better since my surgeons office called me and said don't worry we will get this straightened out. No need to worry until 9/22 day before surgery.

I can't wait! only 39 hours to go!!! Sept 10. tomorrow is all liquid diet. I am not nervous at all. I will not allow it! positive from here on out!!!
happy and excited for you all. congrats on those who have already had their surgery.

Officially approved. ???????????? surgery 9/15

I am at the hospital, all gowned up, and ready to go! :-)
Sure hope I don't have a lot of nausea after sutgery.
And God, if you're listening, could you make sure I don't like sugar anymore. ..thanks!

I've taken antenlol for years for the same reason--to stabilize my heartbeat. I had very low blood pressure after my surgery 80/50 -90/60 and even though they took me off all my blood pressure meds,they left me on antenlol--it's not for blood pressure just a beta blocker to control heartbeat. I'm sure it will all work out--I'm sure alot of us have had these last items to Iron out before the big day! good luck on your surgery!

I have taken atenolol for many years to help with a benign irregular heartbeat, known as a PVC. When I had the sleeve, the anesthesiolgist told me to take the atenolol the day of surgery. He said that beta blockers helped stabilze your heartbeat. I can't imagine why you would be prescribed a drug especially for surgery....Hope you can get to the bottom of this.
