Yeah, it's called a Bair Hugger gown. I heard a nurse created it, she was probably tired of going to get warm blankets for the patients. I know how she felt. Most hospitals have them now, since regulating temp decreases risk of infection and helps keep pain under control. Congratulations on your big day, and I wish you a speedy recovery!

Hello to my sibling October sleevers! Wow how our family has grown. Im on day 6 of 10 day pre-op and its so true the first 3-4 days are the hardest. As of this morning Im down 7 lbs. Im so excited and scared at the same time...just ready for it to be behind me. We are having friends over to watch the football game Sunday...should be interesting for me because i have to drink the bottle of magnesium and then all Clear Liquids (no more Protein shakes). Hmm i wonder how much of the game i will actually see? Maybe i should install a tv in my bathroom!!!! Lol Monday will be here before i know it! Im so glad to hear from the others sleeved this week! Glad yall made it through ok (-:

Hi Octosleevers, yesterday was a ruff day. My BP was up. I do not have a BP problem. It was my body's reaction to the pain. I am much better on day 3 than day 2. Going home today!

Good luck to all those being sleeved today.

Hi everybody. I was sleeved on Monday, first thing in the morning. Monday afternoon was rough, a lot if gas pain. Yesterday was better, although a lot of nausea. Today they're letting me drink water....about 6 oz every two hours. So far so good! Good luck to all of you!

You're with Dr. Heider there? That's pretty cool! My pre-op with Dr.H is on the 12th at 11:30 at LNRMC. What time is your surgery that day?

"CLTgir"l & "my time" are Dr.H's patients as well!

      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.
