I am scheduled for September 18th with Dr. David Kim at Baylor Trophy Club Medical Center in Fort Worth. I'm nervous about the procedure but ready to take the next step on my journey.

Wow lucky you.. I started to go to Dr. Kim and he wouldn't do his surgery anywhere but Forest Park Medical in North Dallas.. A hospital that he owns part of... I changed to Dr. Smith at Fort Worth Lap Band and I will be at Baylor Trophy Club on the 12th... Three more wake ups!

I was sleeved on the morning of the 7th and my worst fears were unfounded. Got home from the hospital at around 3 today, and it's no picnic, but not as bad as I imagined it would be. For those of you going later this month, try to remember the Biotene spray for your dry mouth, and the Gas-EX strips for the gas. They really do make a difference.

We don't own a scale, so I have to wait until my Dr. appointment on Thursday to find out if I lost anything yet. Best of luck to the rest of the September Sleevers.

Much love,

MC

Gas-x strips doesn't help me :( how often you take then? Does it help you with burping? I was sleeved at 7th as well and has huge problem with burping a lot

Hope everyone is doing well. I was able to walk some yesterday for the first time since my surgery (real walking not just to the bathroom). My tummy is still super swollen and very sore, but I feel a little better with each day. I am really struggling with getting my liquids in. I start as soon as I wake up and am only getting in about 20oz a day right now. It is driving me nuts. I have also had this rumbling in my stomach that I was mistaking for hunger and think now that it is gas. So, that is probably contributing to some of the tightness and swelling in my belly that is making me feel so bad. I had to skip dinner all together bc I just couldn't get anything else in there. Going to call my doctor's office tomorrow to see what they recommend to help with possibly going to the bathroom. Hoping that will solve all of my problems. :) Just giving an update bc some of you asked us to keep you updated postop so you'd know what to expect.

Hope everyone has a great week! For those scheduled this week, good luck! :)

      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.
