December 2013 Sleevers Come In!

[tsneed73 54]

Positive thoughts for Andrew. He posted a topic that he was taken to the hospital and they found a bleed.

My prayers are definitely with him

[tsneed73 54]

Well - The ONLY person I've told about my surgery just said to me:

"You've completely wrecked our routine"!

So much for support. I'm so pissed right now, I feel nauseous !!

Don't let that person steal your joy. You have been blessed with a new start in life....embrace it and be happy. Jealousy lurks in people and they don't even realize it at times. If they are truly your friend, hopefully they will take a step back, stop being selfish, and then support you. IF NOT START YOUR OWN ROUTINE AND KNOW THAT YOU HAVE YOUR FELLOW DECEMBER SLEEVERS ON YOUR SUPPORT TEAM. CONGRATS ON TAKING SUCH A BIG STEP AND I WISH YOU MUCH SUCCESS!!!

Remember this is for a better quality of living for you :-)

I SUPPORT YOU!!!

5 days post -op here!

Thought i would share my story as all of you have been sooo amazingly wonderful!

Prior to surgery had to undergo lots of med tests, classes and lose 8% weight. My center was very strict but i was happy because in the long run it was only for the betterment of you!

Morning of surgery, i had lost 44.5 pounds (16 lbs over required), i was pretty happy w/ that! Surgery took awhile longer as Dr had to remove quite a bit of scar tissue from an open gall bladder surgery 27 years ago. She also had to repair a hiatal hernia. After surgery i was actually surprised at how "out of it" I was. I do remember walking a few times and vividly remember this..." Coll, we need to give you insulin as your blood sugar is very high!" I have NEVER had high blood sugar and trying to prevent diabetes was one of the many reasons for this surgery! Apparently this is quite common!! Something to do w/ your pancreas not working for while or something like that. Then it went too low and i needed another shot. Sooo until the afternoon i left, they continued to monitor this every two hours.

I had the roomie from hell who talked loudly on her cell all night long. Never slept a wink. The next morning when I went for my leak test, they said my surgeon wanted to be there. Did the test - it was fine - thank God! Told my soc about my roomie and she said i will NOT return to that room which i did not. Then i started on my ounce of Water every hour. Who the heck would think that drinking that tiny cup would take forever??? Holy moly! I also walked a ton that day and i know this really helped. The next day I started Clear Liquids one ounce every 15 minutes. After they were sure this was OK i was sent home about 4 in the afternoon. Also i gained 11 pounds since surgery (was weighed upon release).

Surprisingly, did not sleep well that night. Not in a lot of pain, just could not sleep. The next day, I admit to a few crying spells because i was worried about not getting in all of my liquids. THANKS to this site - I knew it would be hard. My Dr's goals are 48 - 64 oz of liquid and 60 grams of Protein. I am praying I reach those numbers!! Yesterday i did 42 oz of liquids and only 8 G of Protein. I REALLY tried an Injury Chix broth but i thought i was gonna hurl! NOT GOOD! Today, I already increased my protein and I am still working on the rest.

Overall, not much pain, lots of burping and gas, cannot wait to really chew something - ANYTHING! I am tired - oh and VERY cold!! Anyone else experience this? I know i am very lucky compared to others. My prayers are with Andrew right now.

I cannot thank all of you enough for all of your tips, hints and advice. As a matter of fact, i passed this site onto a few pple i met on my floor who had surgery and also my surgeon!

One more question, what was the name of the site for recipes? I am very worried about making it thru the next two weeks on just liquids.

Best Wishes to all of you!!!

Random Question : How LONG did your procedure take ?

[Simpley_ke 201]

Random Question : How LONG did your procedure take ?

[sandisleeve 563]

Mine took more than 2 hours due to hiatal hernia repair ... Night 4 for me and still on pain meds (roxicet)

My understanding is that it's typically a 1.5 hour procedure

[ChangingMichelle 34]

Mine took a 1/2 hour from open to close.

[Simpley_ke 201]

Mine took a 1/2 hour from open to close.

Alright December Sleevers, I'm hoping that this title brings more people in so we can follow and encourage each other through our journeys.

I am 40. I'm 5'4" and about 308 right now. I'd like to get to a healthy BMI which would be around 145. I'm hoping for a December 4th or 5th date with Dr. William Johnson.
