Question For 5 Days Out

[ashleytn 48]

My husband and I bought tickets to a concert before I scheduled my surgery. We are huge fans of Eric Church, and he is recording a live album in Chattanooga, TN which is about 30 minutes away. He's doing it at a historical theater, so there's not much room for standing and jumping around. Do you think I will feel like going or should I give up my ticket?

When is the concert?

[ashleytn 48]

I have surgery Wednesday October 3rd. The concert is Monday October 8th.

I felt fine by that time and was on a 4 hour flight back home from Mexico but I also had minimal pain, no gas and no nausea... Everyone is different. I would encourage you to supplement your fluids by drinking some Gatorade G2 or Powerade Zero just so don't get the "run down" feeling that affects a lot of sleeve patients.

I didn't even think about getting Powerade or Gatorade. I will definitely do that. I think I will be okay to go. I will just have to make sure I walk a lot and get my fluids in!

I had surgery on Tuesday and walked all over the state fair that Friday. Just make sure you take your pain meds and you should be fine. Have fun!

See if you can bring along a bottle of G2 or Powerade with you to the concert. You might be quite thirsty and being at a concert is quite awhile to go without fluids! Just a thought! By the way, wishing you the Best of Luck!!!

I agree, I was sleeved on Wed the 26th and feel great. Drinking too fast makes me burp and gives me a gurgly feeling and my incision is really painful to touch on the left side. Other than that, I'm down 13lbs and loving life....Not hungry but sure wish I could eat lol

I was sleeved on the 26th and kind of the same here not a lot of pain. Went back to work today but man I want to eat lol. I'm still sluggish incision on my left side has a stabbing kind of hurt to it. But not doing to bad

I'm so glad I'm not the only one that wants to eat!! I thought I was a freak!!! lol They say your appetite isn't supposed to come back for several months but all I've wanted to do since coming home is have something satisfying to eat. I'm down 13lbs down so far but the liquid diet is difficult. Try sugar free popsicles. They're great!
