I m in Northern California with a surgery date of May 31st. I will be finally having the Gastric Sleeve I say finally because this is my 3rd doctor and had to have an UGI and upper endoscopy before she would okay my surgery. I did not want the bypass which because of my GERD the first two said no. After finding "several" polyps in my stomach a bypass is no longer on the table. I am nervous, scared, excited, stressed and worried. My adult children are not happy I am doing this. Even my long time friend is cold to the idea. My sister in law had her surgery last year in Mexico and had many buddies. I am going through my husband's health insurance. I have attended a meeting but had company this month and was unable. I only had 12 days notice for this surgery. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

my surgery was on May 31st, just a little over 5 weeks ago. I am feeling more like myself now. Trying to get the Water in and the calories up. I have been averaging 500 to 600 calories a day this week. Definitely headed in right direction. Saw the dr yesterday and was told to get my caloric intake up as well as my Protein. Thank you for asking. Did you have the surgery? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I am 55 and had my surgery on May 31, 2016. Just over 5 weeks ago. Only problem I had was bowel impaction after 12 days. I was told not to worry since no much food was going in but, I should have been taking the stool softners 3x day. I all goo now. Still healing. Had an appointment today. All is going well.

Day ten and feeling pretty good. I walked ten minutes tonight , not at my old pace but I walked. Still trying to get more Water in and Protein. I ordered from unjury some sample packs of protein. The chicken Soup one was very good! I was surprised. I would rather have that than the broth. I also bought the unflavored to add to my other Soups. Again, not bad. Tonight my darn dog ate my dinner when I was outside! It takes a while to get down all this Fluid but I keep trying. Next time I will not leave my protein packed soup unguarded. .

I am 55 and having surgery on the 31st of May. Second guessing myself on my decision. My adult children are not pleased and do not want me to have it. Of course I am a bit freaked out but know I am doing this to better my life. (Well most of the time I know this). Wishing I had a bit more support. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I have read so much on here and had really wished to connect to someone else having the Sleeve tomorrow. I picked my name because of my hair color and I was a stay at home mom. (Red goddess) anyway, tomorrow is the big day. Today I have been doing the whole colon cleanse thing and on liquid diet. The berry flavored mag. citrate was not bad. So much better than the go litly stuff I had to drink (1 gal) before a colonoscopy. This was a walk in the park. I am very nervous and second guessing myself. At a meeting I attended on post op sleever said he had "buyers remorse". I hear that is common and passes fairly soon yet I still wonder if I could have done it (diet) successfully this time? Tried every diet known including hypnosis yet here I am. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
