Started liquid diet this past Wednesday.. very hard. Looking for a buddy with the same date

"Bitch Stitch" that's awesome. That's exactly what it is.

I had my post op on Thursday. Cleared as well. Yes sixth floor.. Small world. My next appt isn't until July now. I have been thankful for every part of this journey up untill this pulling. I'm really ready for it to be over... Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

Hi Paul Dean.. I'm in Jax as well. Looks like we have the same surgery date and the same dr. So funny. We were at.the hospital at the same time. My surgery was at 9:15. This pulling pain in my left side is the worst. I was sopposed to go back to work today but decided to stay home another week. If I sneeze I will involuntary scream which I can't do at my job. I might scare my Co workers at Bank of America lol Dr Hodgett says it's NJ oral and will go away. But I just don't know what to do to help the healing process along faster.

I'm 18 days out and still having this pain, and mine is on the left side as well. If I cough or sneeze I would have to say it's the worst pain ever. Dr said its normal and should only last another 1-2 more weeks. I was planning on returning to work tomorrow, but there is no way. Getting up from a sitting position is so painful and if I sneezed at work I might involuntarily scream from the pain and I can't do that. Is anyone out there past this pain? I'm at wits end with it Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

I know everyone is different. I was just wondering. How long does the stomach pulling start to get better. I was sleeved on 3/30. My incision site hurts so bad when I get up or sit down. I know it will stop eventually but wanted to know how far ahead is the light at the end of the tunnel

Yes that's exactly what I have to. But mine is definitely the large incision. I've been sleeping get on the couch just cause its easier on my stomach. I feel fantastic other than this pulling.

Thanks so much. I guess because my bed is kinda high bits very hard to get I and out. The pulling had been my worst part so far. I walk and stretch and do what I can. Just want that to stop lol. My apt I'd 4/14. Thanks so much for the info n

Anyone know if there is a FB group for March sleevers?

March 30th. I'm on day 4 of all liquid diet. Pre op completed yesterday Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

My (tenituve) surgery date is 4/28 I meet with the Dr on Tuesday and will confirm... I'm on YouTube, Pintrest, and Googling like crazy. Before and after pics, sleevers week by week vlogs on their progress. Do's and don'ts. Everthing.... Does anyone have any suggestions on what you did pre-op to get ready and get all the info possible? I've been watching this one girl FlyGirl Fitness on YouTube. She has a weekly vlog documenting her progress. I was just wondering what everyone else did

Surgery date is 4/28. I've been wondering the same thing

I'm tenitivly scheduled for 4/28. I'll know for sure on Tuesday when I meet with the Dr. I thought waiting for insurance approval was bad (I was approved in 1 week. Lol) now it's going to be waiting for surgery date. Lol.

I'm Jacksonville as well. Dr Hodget at Baptist. Just had my paperwork submitted to the insurance Co today. Now it's a waiting game. I'm very anxious

I'm going tomorrow night for my sleep study.. Any tips, suggestions or what I can expect?

Oh great info. Thanks so much.

I am in the same boat.. A rep from the surgerons office called me today becuses I emailed them last week to see if this could be done.. I have to complete 4 NUT appts which will put my last appt on 12/17 she said moset likly it is far fetched to have everything done and approval and surgery date by the end of the year she said possibly you can call the ins co and see if the paperwork can be submiuted early SSOOOO I called the ins co,, and asked that if I had everything else done,,, by the 11/17 appt,, and all i had left was the last nut appt on 12/17,, could the paperwork be submitted,, ,she said yes... ssoooooo I called Ava back,, she said it is still unlikly that it will get approved in time.,. i said,, so your saying that it cant be done,, she said no,,, its just highly unlikely... if you get declined,, then we have to do a peer to peer meeting to try to get it over turned,,, and its a lot of time and paperwork I have a PT appt tomorrow,,, and a sleep study on sunday and bloodwork and chest xray next week... doing everything I can but she sounded so negitive... should I still try??
