Alcohol 2 days preop
pppgobbi replied to Sandy GlueStick's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
No alcohol before surgery. Not good when your having anesthesia. Don't take the chance. -

3 weeks post-op & still in pain
pppgobbi replied to jsneblin's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Push yourself to get up and walk. Don't give in to it. Also, take the pain medication or Tylenol to see if that helps. I had a hard time sleeping too. I put pillows all around myself and took Tylenol at night! Don't give in. -
I was sleeved on March 2nd and did really well. Actually down 29 pounds. I have had no issues except for this one. Terrible itch on back, abdomen, inside of legs and inside of arms. Went to the dermatologist and she said it was a heat rash and gave me some cream. Didn't work. I went to the surgeon and she said it could be my way of getting rid of anesthesia etc. I don't think so. This has been going on for over 3 weeks. Does anyone else have this problem??

Insulin Resistance and Gastric Sleeve
pppgobbi replied to Changed2016's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I was sleeved on 3/7 and left the hospital on no metformin or blood pressure medication. My blood sugars have been in the 80's. Its the best thing i have ever done. I dont have an ache or pain. My BMI was only 35 but I had 4 co mobidities. I presently am down 27 pounds. I hope this answered your question. The Metformin was killing me!!! -

Monday March 7th scared!!

I think the single incision is done laparoscopic and they just go thru the belly button. Much easier.

starting my preop diet tomorrow. Looking forward to March 7th will be attending some meetings after that. I think they really help. I think Im all set mentally. Any suggestions with this pre op diet. Will I lose any weight??
