Don't worry, it will all work out. I had my surgery this day last week and I am doing fine! The worst part is the first 24 hours after the surgery. Walk as soon as you can and you will be amazed how quickly your progress advances. Sent from my SM-G930V using the BariatricPal App

OK, I am on the other side now. Surgery on Monday. 2 nights in the hospital. On the morning of surgery, the doc told me I had a hiatal hernia and he wanted to repair it at the same time. He did and it does make recovery a little more difficult. Am home now on a diet of watered down juice, Jello, and broth. Pain isn't too bad now. It was worse in the hospital. I lost 12 pounds on the preoperative diet. I've lost another 5 since surgery. So I'm down to 225 for now. My surgery was done in the LA area and I liked my surgeon and hospital.

I will let you know how it goes! Hopefully, I will escape the fog of painkillers by Tuesday and I can give you the lowdown! Sent from my SM-G930V using the BariatricPal App

Hello everybody! I am having my gastric sleeve surgery this Monday. I check in at the hospital at 5:30 AM. I have been waiting for 6 months, due to insurance requirements. I am 5'3" and weighed 248 about 6 months ago. I weigh 230 today because of dieting and my awful preop diet. Looking forward to the procedure but very nervous about my ability to stick to the postoperative diet. I don't want to fail. Any pointers are appreciated.
