my_new_lifetime

Right now I am off my metformin and monitoring BSL twice a day. I had surgery on July 28th. I was told to call the doctor's office if it does above 200. My readings have been ranging from 109-154. This is because I am on clear post op liquid diet. I go to surgeon tomorrow and he will advise. Once I incorporate food, I imagine that I will have to add some Meds. Who knows??? ????????

I had my surgery on the 28th. Apparently, I had a hiatal hernia and they repaired it too while they were doing the sleeve. Yesterday, I felt very nauseous so they did not discharge me yet. I am relieved though because it beats being home alone and nauseous. Trying to get all my liquids down today so I can leave this afternoon. So far it has not been that bad for me. The IV drips make you urinate a lot. But that's fine because every time I get up, I use it as an excuse to walk around. Walking makes you feel way better. Just taking one day at a time. That's all we can do.

Thanks everyone!

Hi everyone! My surgery is at 10:15 AM in New Jersey tomorrow morning. I am beyond excited but I'm also pretty nervous and scared. Are there any words of confidence that you all want to share? It would be very greatly appreciated. ☺️

Today is my surgery date too. I am in the surgical waiting room. A little nervous too!

My doctor does not require pre-op diet either. My surgery is tomorrow ...good luck with yours!

I too reside in NJ, I'm here If ever you need to talk Thank you t-sky. I wish u a lot of success in this journey.

Mine is tomorrow too and I am also up! It's nice to see I am not the only one. Good luck tomorrow!!! ???? and God Bless you too!

I like that idea. I'll rub their belly back. Hopefully I'll lose enough weight so that I will never be asked that question unless I'm really pregnant.

I also struggled between keeping this a secret and telling people. I chose to tell a few of the closest people before I had the surgery. Once I have the surgery I plan to tell people I had weight-loss surgery. I'm not going to get into details as to what kind of surgery it was unless it's someone whom I believe wants to know because they have an interest in doing it for themselves. I don't want to be worrying about someone spilling the beans and the secret getting out. I am trying to not care what other people think. That's really hard to do because I spent most of my life wanting to please others andcaring about their opinions. Well no more!!! And it's very liberating. You do whatever you feel like doing.

I'm having my surgery in two days!

My name is "Hamade Lexi" I will be sending a request. My sleeve is set for July 28. Two days away. Actually I'm wondering whether it will be announced that I join this group in my newsfeed because if that's the case I'd rather keep this under anonymity.

My surgery is on June 28th so I will be doing it right after you. I am excited and nervous too! Don't worry we will be just fine. I wish I had done this year's ago and I am impressed that you have decided to take control of your life at a young age. You rock!

I am in nj too and would like a buddy or buddies.

3 days to go for me and I am nervous, scared but,above all, excited to start my NEW life. The nurse in my pre-op class said that a lot of people consider their surgery date another birthday. After all, it is the beginning of our new lives. Why not celebrate this date and our original birthdays? I think it's brilliant!

This is my driving factor too. My diabetes is totally reversible at this point. I take Metformin 1000mg twice a day and I can't wait till the day that it goes away completely!

I am having my sleeve on July 28 in NJ. I am excited and nervous at the same time. In three days!
