October Surgeries!!

[MS LISA 1]

Well tomorrow's the big day!!! And I have decided on Vertical Sleeve Plication.

I'm excited! I've done my research, have gone back and forth with Sleeve Plication versus Sleeve Gastrectomy and unless something big changes tomorrow after my pre-ops then VSP it will be:) I'll let everyone know how things went as soon as I'm able:) Be Blessed and Good luck to all!

I wish you the best!!'

good luck to you, I will say a prayer, let us know how it goes

I'm getting mine done on 10/6/10. I'm pretty nervous, actually. I've never had surgery before and have never spent any time as a patient in a hospital. I'm also 53 years old and wonder if I'm just too old to really benefit from this. Everyone else sounds so excited and, right now, I'm anything but excited. Anyone else in the same boat?

hey everyone.... I'm 3 days out of surgery now!... Things are progressing which is great... No leaks.. But I'm not going to lie I screamed bloody murder when my drain was taken out!... That was by faf the worst!.. Other than that things are ok.. I am sipping walking and resting.. I had some diarehia from the contrast solution but its not that bad... Hope everyone is doing well!!

Hi Everyone

I am due to be sleeved tomorrow but have started a cold. I hope I can still have surgery as I will be so gutted if I can't?? :sick: I know if they cancel it would be for safety reasons but I am trying every medication and Vitamin I can find today so that I can to feel a bit better tomorrow. Has anyone else had their surgery with a cold???

Feel quite upset right now ............

Wishing everyone the best for your operations.

take care

I know how you feel, I'm getting sick too and my husband is the one who gave it to me. Did you check with the office. Call the Dr's and tell them about it. I think if your lungs are clear you should be ok, I think that's the only thing they would be concerned about. I think I have an ear or sinus infection but I just called my primary for antibotics, my surgery is next Monday. Good luck!!!

I'm gettin sleeved on Oct. 8th!! I'm nervous and excited. I have been doing really well on my pre-op diet. My doc asked me to loose 5-10 lbs and I managed to loose 7 lbs...it's been hard but worth it!

OMG I agree that drain removal was the worst thing of my whole post op! I had two removed from a Tummy Tuck 3 years ago that felt NOTHING like that one did all wound up in my abdomen. WTH! I am so glad you are out safely. WIshing you the best on your recovery![/size]

I am getting sleeved October 18th. I am 57 years old and wondered if I was too old. I went to a couple of seminars and guess what? Almost everyone there was about our age. I want to get rid of some of my meds and that's probably what motivates the over 50's. Lipitor, Metformin, Lisinopril, Actos. Goodbye.

Is it ever too late to try to get healthy? I hope not.

Good luck, I hope everything went well.
