Is the pain really bad???

I didn't have much pain at all. I was just dizzy and a little nauseous the first two days. I have had. 3 c-sections and they were worse.

I've never had any children and the last surgery I had was an outpatient cyst removal on a hand when I was a kid. So I don't have much to compare this to. Never had any broken bones. Lol like I said I am probably just a big baby

And it seems like just a few days ago I was getting this whole process started it moves quick once you get started. It may not seem like it at the time but it does.

I've seen all the required doctors. I'm just waiting to get all of my testing done. I should have just a few more. Next is the stress test. I dread that one!!! Lol

I'm going to Owasso through the Bailey Medical Center. Dr. Varnell is my surgeon. I'm getting impatient and ready to have the surgery done. So glad you are doing good! Keep up the good work.

Oh Megs81, that really makes me feel so much better. So far, I have loved the Bailey program and all the DRs that I've seen. I have been to all of the Drs and now I'm in the testing phase. I have the stress test 6-17/6-18, I'm frightened for that one. I also have the sleep test left, worried about that too. Have you been successful this far?????

I had surgery on Wednesday with dr Ronnie Keith in Norman and I went home this morning. I've been doing pretty well. Just trying to get fluids down keep walking and keeping pain managed.

I had my surgery with Dr. Ronnie Keith also. Just had my 4 month follow up with Winter. I don't have to go back now till Aug to see the dietitian. I had no problems other than the soreness. Love my sleeve and have had a great experience with OWLO's staff. If you have any questions just ask. Nice to see so many Okies here.

Yes. I thankfully have had no problems since surgery. Stress test wasn't bad. And I already had a sleep test done. It makes a world of difference if you have apnea and use the machine I love mine but I have been off of it for about 3 months and I am sleeping great. Don't stress... Tests are not a deal breaker just want to make sure they know what is going on

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
