Lisa22280 42 Posted January 12, 2015 Good luck to evrryone having surgery today! I'm a week post op and I'm down 11lbs. This makes my liquid diet not suck that much. Everyone getting ready pls go in with an open mind. Not everyone is the same. You will have your own journey. I gave myself 7 days to feel some what normal. Take one day at a time and know its going to get better Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

crystalmaries 55 Posted January 12, 2015 Just got my time to be at the hospital. 9:00. Whooo hoo! Very excited. I'm sure the nerves will break this evening. I've only lost 6 pounds on the pre diet. Made me a little mad but just goes to show that my body doesn't like to loose weight very well. Can't wait! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Squeak1867 32 Posted January 13, 2015 The time has finally arrived, surgery is tomorrow. I just finished drinking that dreaded Magnesium Citrate, now I sit and wait for the hours of uncontrollable pooping. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fitdrea30 41 Posted January 13, 2015 I'm officially sleeved!! As of yesterday I had my surgery. I was naucious last night but today feel much better as I've been walking the halls which helps with the gas pains. Already had my leak test and is came out good so I'm started on 33ml of Water for an hour? Having someone here with me is helpful too just to help with compression socks and not having to wait for someone to walk with me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shawnee1973 26 Posted January 13, 2015 So I was sleeved last night between 6-8...my pain has been pretty bad but perhaps I just have a low threshold or perhaps it was the gallbladder removal. Anyway, I'm home now. They used staples instead of glue on my incisions. Anyone know why they would do this? I never saw my surgeon after the surgery and nobody else could tell me why because he normally does not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KSTUZ 438 Posted January 13, 2015 I'm one week and one day out. Feeling really good considering and I went yesterday for my one week post op!!

Zzzombrie 86 Posted January 13, 2015 Ok so whatever you do don't order the Vitaleph shakes. They are wretched! The chewable chocolate Probiotics are good but the shakes, so much eww. And no refund or return policy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My surgeon used internal dissolve stitches and glue on top and I'm so grateful because I've had no issues. No pain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
