Sitting in florence now, my surgery is up next. My mom had hers this first and now she is sleeping and my sister is in there now. I am a ball of nerves!!

You will do just fine. I got released from florence this AM and am back at the hotel. Just remember to walk, and walk, and walk, and then walk some more. The first 5 hours are the worst, once that is over you will feel so much better.

You will be fine! Just had mine yesterday. The first day is the worst...but it gets better!! Keeping you in my thoughts..

I had my sleeve on July 1st. Gas pain, nausea have been my biggest problems. I walked 2 hours after surgery which helped more than anything. I've had a rough few days! The Lortab pain medication knocks me out. Then I get behind on my fluids. Then my blood sugars drop & I'm nauseated. Couldn't pee on POD 2. Gave me additional fluids and have been fine since. I cannot tolerate sugar free Jello or Popsicles so basically it has been broth, tea, & Water. I have been hungry! Different than before, but actually more than it was pre-op. feeling very frustrated. Any suggestions welcome!

The very sweet July 4th surgery ladies just stopped by my room as I wait (I'm last today!) enjoyed commiserating about what's to come. Great to meet you, and see you out there in the halls tonight...I will try not to moan too much

It was nice meeting you as well. Was in the hallway as you came out of surgery... I know waiting was the worst. See you in the hallways soon

Im July 24 with Dr.Valenzuela at Mi Doctor Hospital.< /p>

Heya! July 25th for me! I'll be there at the hospital/hotel on the 24th though!

btw, just wondering....which hotel are you going to be staying at? All of you guys are so lucky you're staying at the marriot! Totally unfair lol. I think patients of Dr. Cabrera and Valenzuela are staying at some ghetto one lol. Darn!
