[Amy P 17]

Hi guys, so my surgery is. Scheduled for march 3 at 11. I'm having my lapband removed then having the sleeve. I'm excited and Nervous. My Doc doesn't make us go on a pre op diet. Thank god cause I'm in a wedding sat. But I can only have liquids on sun. I was wondering if anyone is in Michigan having the sleeve next week? Looking for a buddy. Does anyone have any Advice for me for after surgery next week??? Thanks everyone

Amy

surgery in 4 days????

its perfectly normal to be dealing with different emotions

post op........

you just had major surgery - take it slow!!!!!

if you have gas, walk and walk some more in the hospitaal

sip Water sllllowly

at home, rest as much as you can

if you have kids, tell them to go run around the block for one week

going to stand up in a wedding a few days post op

some people feel fine in a few days, even go back to work

hopefully you will be feeling ok

drink only liquids

no champagne though

docs usually tell you to wait "at least" a few weeks - or maybe up to 6 months before alcohol is allowed

the one thing we have in common is that we're/docs-NUTS are all different

always listen to YOUR doc/NUT

good luck

speedy recovery

I've been reading a lot on here and I'm very scared about the gas pain. I'm a big baby when it comes to pain. Besides gasx and walking is there anything else I can do? Thank u Kathy
