June 5Th Surgery - Looking For Some Pals!



Recommended Posts

Mine is scheduled for May 25th. I have two young girls too...6 and 8 plus a 9 month old Newfoundland puppy. I am kept on my toes with them and my work. I am planning on taking two weeks off work. I am wanting to be over the liquid only part of the recovery before I have to go back to work. I am also nervous about this surgery and hope and pray that it is what finally works to help me lose this excess weight! Good luck to you on your journey. I look forward to hearing how you have done!

Hi Shannon! I was sleeved on May 7th. The first two-three days, I was tired and worn out. Day three, no pain meds and have not touched them since. Day five, went shopping (only for about an hour), walked the neighborhood with my dog, and was pretty active. Everyone heals at thier own pace. I tolerate surgery very well, except for the Constipation. I think the Vitamins and staying hydrated really, really help, however, I am post op day 6 and still working in all the fluids. I don't have any regrets, and am looking forward to success.

Hi all my surgery is scheduled for June 4th! I was submitted to insurance for approval on the 8th of May and 3 days later it was approved! I have been very blessed throughout this whole process everything has went so smoothly and quickly that I feel as if it was just meant to be. I am beginning to get nervous now though!! Let's help each other through this and rock our June sleeves!!!

Hi Everyone, I am new to here as well. After jumping through hoops for the insurance company since Feb, I know have everything done, including the 3 months supervised dieting and all paperwork was submitted. Just waiting for the insurance company approval and then setting the date... I can't wait.... I look forward to hearing everyone's stories as we go through this.

Hey all.. My husband had his sleeve done yesterday. Everything went fine. The actual surgery was only about 30 min. He is having a hard time with the gas. Two will be his second night in the hospital and he has only drank about four spoons of Water. He is not in that much pain but the dry heaving and nausea is really taking a toll on him. He just woke up for about 5 mins and told he don't know if he has made the right choice. My words to him is this to shall pass. Hopefully we can go home tomorrow.

Im still super excited about my surgery next month dry heaving and nausea included!!! will keep you guys posted.. O yea on his liquid diet he drop 30pounds!!!!

I'm June 27th. I was offered a couple of earlier dates, but between my kindergarten students' graduation and my daughter's pre-school graduation, I just didn't want to miss all if the festivities.

      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.
