Getting sleeved on the 15th



Recommended Posts

Hi! My name is Rebecca, and I'm 23 years old and my HW was 224. I'm two days Pre-op and as of this morning weighing 213. All I seem to be able to think about is the Surgery. I've never had any kind of surgery before so I'm starting to get really nervous . I'm just wondering if there is anyone else here in the same boat as me?

Here's the good news. While I'm not in the same boat (being a guy old enough to be your dad OR granddad!), I have had multiple surgeries.

You have a great MD/surgeon (I assume). You are going to a great hospital with staff who know what they are doing...

So, they will prepare you, might been a special wash, maybe some 'relax me' medication, and an IV for fluids. You'll get to wear a Very Stylish gown that exposes you God and country (and you will not care). You'll chat with the anesthesiologist. They'll roll you into the OR and everyone will look like the long ranger (masks all around).

After some conversation, they'll ask if you are ready, and they YOU'll ask when do we begin, and the nurse will say, we're all over, you did just fine.

Now there will likely be some discomfort as you heal, but the staff will help. And YOU will help too by walking as much as you can!

Have fun. This is the start of your adventure.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
