lth11 43 Posted February 12, 2013 I was sleeved today. To be honest it wasn't that bad ( besides them not being able to start an IV after 3 tries). So they put it in my arm and not my hand. They gave me a sedative before I went into the Operating Room. I don't even remember going into the OR. I was very nausea's after surgery from the pain meds. The hardest part for me was the nausea. I kept asking for ice chips and that helped me alot. I feel no different when I drank Thankfully. So don't be nervous February Sleevers, Best Wishes to all Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

triciavr77 32 Posted February 12, 2013 My hospital pre-registration is today! Anything I should know before heading in at 1pm today? I'm just hoping nothing has changed w/ my date & time. The bariatric office said sometimes they have to change it and you will find out when you register at the hospital. I think that's the thing that I'm most nervous about right now. That it's been pushed back for some reason. Then again, I'm supposed to arrive at 5:15 am. What are the odds it gets rescheduled? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

himalaya62 221 Posted February 12, 2013 You will do great tomorrow!! I had no complications and I'm 8 days out and thrilled already. Stay positive and focus on the prize. You will do wonderfully! I'm praying for you! The very worst part of the whole process is the emotional side and worrying. The rest becomes just a blur after a few days. Focus and you will be fine. We are all here for you!!

EweLewz 107 Posted February 12, 2013 ith11 - Wow, online the day after surgery. That's pretty reassuring to the rest of us. Here's for a speedy recovery! Please keep us posted. My surgery is in 10 days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JackieV 246 Posted February 12, 2013 You guys are going to do great. I am also 8 days out and can't tell I've had any surgery....well except I am constantly full. Everything is back to normal and I feel great. I agree with Marcy, the emotional side is the hardest. Once surgery is over everything fads away. I am excited for all of you.
