Had my sleeve surgery yesterday!!! (10/10/18)
kathy060464 replied to oct102018's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
As long as I was able to walk on my own and be able to drink 4 oz of fluid per hour for 6 hours straight the surgeon said he would discharge me. You get no rest in the hospital, I just wanted to sleep in my own bed. -

You can add me on Instagram @vsg10.11.2018. Just had my surgery on Thursday and released the next day - Friday. -
If they comment on your weight loss and ask how you did simply say you are eating healthier, more protein, less carbs, no junk food and drinking lots of water (which is or will be true!). No need tell them about your "secret tool".

Actually it was 8 oz per hour - 4 oz protein shake and 4 oz of water. I got confused with the hospital as they measured it by ml. So drank 4 of the medicine dosage cups.

Sleeves on 10/11/18 and released the next afternoon. I just had to show I could drink 4 oz of liquid and hour for six hrs straight before I could be released. Feeling ok, belly feels like I was stabbed 5 times lol. They have me liquid oxycodone which helps. Difficult to get into our out of bed but hopefully each day will get better.

Is this in addition to the required nutritional visits with the dietitian? Sent from my SM-G935V using BariatricPal mobile app -
Starting my Journey Need Help!
kathy060464 replied to Jmeredith's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Start with the 3 hour class. Don't be nervous as everyone else attending is just like you. Takes notes and ask questions if you like. They will literally walk you through all the next steps and there are lots of steps before they'll do the surgery. You can do this! Sent from my SM-G935V using BariatricPal mobile app -
Upcoming Sleeve Surgery Fall 2018
kathy060464 replied to tmrtyty2018's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I don't have a date yet but the surgeon has said late October or November. I'm trying to continue eating healthy and walking every day. I have one more nutritional visit and my final appt with pulmonologist after using the cpap for two months. I'm also researching where to purchase my supplements. I plan on taking two weeks off after surgery. Sent from my SM-G935V using BariatricPal mobile app
