Surgery Scheduled and very Nervous!
Bayougrl replied to Caela88's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
My doctor has done over 800 and he has only had two he couldn't complete I think. -
Gastric Leak for 6 Months - Help!
Bayougrl replied to Greta Griggs Hannah's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I would consult another doctor to see if it could be repaired without bypass. That's a long time! -
I'm so sorry! Yes, they gave me liquid hydrocodone and phenergan tablets that knocked out the nausea.

Waiting in pre-op. It's sleeve day! Now where is that medicine to take the edge off?
-
When were you told you could start purees? Just curious if everyone is made to wait 2 weeks.

Made it through surgery on Wednesday 12/16. It was a little more uncomfortable than I had imagined. Battled nausea for 48 hours before it disappeared. I'm drinking well and feeling human again today thank goodness. Just very weak right now. Down 8 lbs in 3 days so that's a good start I suppose.

I'm four days post op. Every night I'm having wet foamy stuff coming up constantly. I've tried ranitidine and raising my head up on 2 pillows. Any other advice? It's driving me crazy and I don't want to sleep in recliner forever.

Back to work. How soon?
Bayougrl replied to Ginger1217's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am 4 days post op and I could go back now if I was taking it easy at work. Listen to your body and use caution. Good luck. -
Seems like a wide range of doctor's orders on food stages!
-
It's over the counter. I think I will try the prilosec instead. I will also try to stop sipping earlier as well. Thx!

Hi Bayougrl, I am from New Orleans and my doctor is there too.. you? Conrad1 I'm actually in NELa near Monroe.

When did you get to start purées?
-
4 days post op and feeling pretty good. Only problem is reflux at night. Down 10 lbs so far.

Hey guys. Things went well in surgery.. I'm back in the room trying to sip. Man that's hard. My stomach hurts but pain meds are helpful. I had a good bit of nausea this morning but I think it's gone for the most part. Couldn't do green jello at all!!! Thanks for your support!

Any December 15th Sleevers Out There?
Bayougrl replied to GeorgiaPeach65's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm the 16th Good luck everyone! -
I'm struggling too and really haven't been on the strictest of diets. My doc just said low fat and never gave me a time period. My surgery is a week from today!!!!

i totally understand. Me too.

I Want To See Before & After Pics! (Cont'd)

You look so much younger! -
My surgery is the 16th so we can stay in touch if you want! I'm nervous too but when I need reassurance I just take a selfie and I'm ready.

At 2 weeks post-op, my non VSG world shattered. I am trying to pick up the pieces...
Bayougrl replied to Mom26's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
As a mom of five myself, this is heart breaking to imagine. My thoughts and prayers will be with you and your family. I pray that his medical team will make the very best decisions! Please take care of yourself in this process as well. May God's peace be with you all. -
Had first doctor visit today to discuss band to sleeve revision. I was nervous and my red face certainly showed it! To my surprise, he said he would do EGD on Monday morning and scheduled surgery for the 16th of December (I am self pay). Yikes! No liquid diet either, just low fat. I can handle that! This is getting real, FAST!

One more thought, are you eating/drinking artificial sweeteners? I'm always starving but when I took a break from caffeine and artificial sweeteners, I almost had no hunger.

I am scheduled for December 19th
Bayougrl replied to Bellaitalian's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Welcome! Good luck to you. My date is the 16th so we will be close! -

Such a difference! I know you are ecstatic! -
Had my EGD done this morning. I was so nervous last night, I didn't sleep very well. The whole process took about an hour and a half total (from check-in to check-out) and was a breeze! Literally best nap of my life! Dr. said everything looked great so it's a go on 12/16!
