It gets better! The pain was excruciating for about an hour. Then it settled down but was bad for about a day. The nausea was the worst part for me. Good for you walking so much. I got up every hour to pee but I didn't walk til next day. Each day gets easier!

Well I had my surgery today. I'm very bummed they couldn't do the sleeve today. There was too much scar tissue, so they only removed my lap band. I will go back in two months to have the revision to sleeve and v the hernia repair. I'm in a fair amount of pain right now, feeling disappointed, I know its best this way.

Ill keep you posted. Hope all you who were sleeved today are doing ok.

Hugs!

Well I had my pre-op visit today and I am down 9 lbs. in 2 1/2 weeks and I didn't have to do the liquid pre op diet so I am happy. Told the doctor I was anxious he asked me if I had any doubts I said NO so he said I was anxiously excited! Loved it. Worried what he will be able to do for my huge umbilical hernia but I just love this doctor and have tremendous faith in him.
Thursday the 20th is Sleeve Day!

I'm sorry. :(. I guess it's better to be safe than sorry but that won't make you feel better. What a bummer. I did just see someone who had to go back for a revision 6 months out of their sleeve because of scar tissue. This might save you a different complication later. Still, I'm bummed for you!

I would definitely rather have everything go smoothly. I was just mentally ready. So I'm bummed. Its okay though. Two months isn't so bad I guess. Ill have to do the pre op diet again lol yay jk.

I'm going to try & get scheduled for a Friday, so that I won't have too many work issues.

Surgery was yesterday!

Great deal of pain first 24 hours.

When tried walking I would get nausea really bad. So they upped the nausea meds overnight.

The gases aren't passing too well so there will be more walking today.

Glad the surgery part is over! Onto healing! Hopefully I'll be home tomorrow. .

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
