This should be for you not anyone else. As long as you follow what the doctor says and do what you are supposed to NOBODY should be let down including yourself. Worry about you!!! You've got this! Its a long journey ....best wishes

I did the same with a piece of yummy crisp Italian bread that came with my boring broth last night. Gotta do what ya gotta do. 2 more days with clear liquids.

I had my surgery done last Thursday with Dr Wilhelmy. I will comment on all of this after work today. I had an amazing experience and will tell you the price was worth it. More details to follow this afternoon.

hi Jake, well if all is the same you should be arriving today and well I will be leaving this morning. I wanted to let you know these last few days have been wonderful. Dr Wilhelmy and Dr Campos along with all the other doctors are incredible. They explain everything, you can always ask questions, they are super attentive. Seriously I have never had doctors comes see you daily and even just to say goodbye because you're leaving in the morning. Carla and Yolanda are incredible also, you will love them. Everyone is kind and has a fun sense of humor. Now for surgery..... testing took only a few mins the day I got here. Next morning I came in and was in sugery within 30 mins. No waiting no having to be anxious. Honestly it was as though he put me to sleep and I woke up 10 mins later in my room. I have been fortunate not to have any pain, I know everyone is different but the nurses and doctors are right there should you need anything. I truly can't say enough good . I wish you the best.....wish I could be here when you got here. Sending you hugs!!!! Let me know how you are doing.

Thanks.... I feel fantastic! I get released tomorrow. Honestly everyone here is so wonderful I am sad to go. I would say the hardest part was the morning after drinking the dye for the leak test. Otherwise its been a breeze. Nothing at all first day. Yesterday liquids. Today after passing 2nd leak test I got broth. I will recommend walking as much as you can. I truly feel like I fell asleep and woke up 10 minutes later all done. I hope yours goes as mine has.

Well I'm officially sleeved!!!! Everyone here has been wonderful. Very kind and incredibly knowledgeable. Kinda went in or, they gave me something to make me sleepy before anesthesia and well I woke up 4 hours later when they wheeled me back into my room. Those 4 hours for me felt like 10 minutes. Within 1/2 hour I went for my first walk. No water or anything for me for 24 hours but I am not hungry at all. Thats a first ha ha. No pain what so ever, I am sure later on today since its Friday now I might be sore but I will take it. What a journey, I am so glad it has begun. I am excited to hear from everyone who has gone in the last few days and sending best wishes to those of you coming up.

My doc gave me a high protein no carb diet. I did it for first 3 days, wasn't able to eat enough ( I get full normally after a few bits) so asked to do a liwuid protein shake. That worked perfectly. Had surgery yesterday morning. They dont allow anything at all not even water for first 24 hours but it was ok. I wasn't hungry at all. Wish you all the best
