Hang in there for those still waiting on surgery this week! It is great on the other side - besides the gas pain - mine is almost gone.

FYI - I had diarrhea before surgery and after - so much liquid!

I really have no pain from surgery except the incision when I move a certain way.

Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love you tomorrow, you're only a day away....

Less than 24 hours till I check in to the hospital... So excited for this next chapter in my life to begin. I had a dream I was already post-op last night so I am beyond ready.

So glad to hear everyone is doing so well who has been sleeved this week.

Hey sleevers, i had surgery on Monday. I was only on a pre op diet for one day...clear liquids only. It's now day two post op and i am finally feeling better. Gas is passing more freely, i am satisfied with my liquid drinks, not hungry and it is easy to get my liquid requirements in because i don't feel sick. My doctors were excellent and my sleeve is great!

Well i survived and came out the other side.Just got home from hospital they let me out a day early hooray! Can`t believe how well it went.None of the problems they were expecting from my band scarring(had it removed as an emergency last year) Have had virtually no pain not even gas pain.This 65 year old can`t believe her luck am a bit tired but nothing a night in my own bed won`t fix bless you all.pippinleicester.

Had surgery this morning at 9 and I'm feeling really good

Except for the fact that I can have NOTHING by mouth today and I feel like I'm a cotton ball :-)

Pain is very manageable and I haven't been using my pump much.

I've gotten up and down several times!

I feel AWESOME so far.

I had mine this morning too! I agree, pain is manageable and improves by the hour. It has been helping to het up and walk and to change positions in bed. I am fortunate that my Dr lets me take sips of Water or Protein Clear Liquids. About 2oz every 15 minutes while I am awake. Can't believe it's done! Best wishes to you and everyone else on here!

All of the doctors are different! I wish I could have something but I'm being good and resisting going to the sink for a drink!

@@becweaves my surgery was this morning as well and like you I cannot drink until tomorrow. My nurse did give me a cup of Water and a bowl to spit it out in so I can rinse my mouth but no swallowing.
