Well, I had my sleeve surgery on Tuesday, 12/22. Things went very well. Dr. Nick said I had a very small amount of scar tissue from the band and was pleased that my surgery was only abour 15 min. longer than a regular (non-revision) procedure. He said that sometimes they are 2-3 hours longer. They kept me an extra night in the hospital because of some nausea and some low grade fever. My allergies decided to act up so I've been dealing with that too. The nurse practitioner said the drainage from my sinuses is filling my pouch making it harder for me to drink all I should as fast as I could.

I'm still feeling pretty blech right now but can tell the stomach swelling is better because drinking is much easier. I probably over did it a little today traveling to my brother's house, but plan to be a vegetable at home the next few days, except for my walking, of course.

Thanks for all of your support. The forum has been great and has made things so much easier.

Thanks for the update Anna. I'm glad everything went well for you. Take it easy, get your rest, get in your walking and sip, sip, sip. You are on the sleeved side now. :thumbup:

Merry Christmas!

Anna,

Hope you are resting after yesterday's travels. But, look at you - traveling only a few days after the procedure. So glad you are home and healin'. Are you able to take anything for the allergies to help? I take allergy shots, and before the shots, I will take an Alavert - they dissolve (taste like baby aspirin) and are basically Claritin. My allergies are nuts right now too, Cedar is doing its thing. Hope to see you on the 29th.

So glad to hear from you, and it was great seeing you in the hospital. You did fabulous, and I'm glad you decided to stay an extra night so they could care for you.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
