@@theotherfatgirl how do you feel!? You must be so excited!!!!

I got insurance approval Monday so the surgery is officially a go for June 23! I'm on day 3 of the liquid diet [muscle milk shakes all day errryday] and it's honestly not as bad as I thought it would be. I am always craving salty so I had some low-sodium broth yesterday for a snack but other than that it's been fine. I'm constantly full and haven't had bad cravings.

@@theotherfatgirl, my prayer is your recovery will be smooth a quick. I go in tomorrow and am SO nervous! Just keep thinking, in voluntarily signing up for pain, nausea and possibly vomiting for the next week or two. Gotta think positive, but man it's hard!

Hey Im sooo happy for you how are U feeling?? Any pain? Discomfort?

Wow, lots of new people getting sleeved this month. Good luck to all of you and wishing you fast recoveries.

This last Monday I had the cardiac clearance then Tuesday I had the psych eval, nutritionist and then the preop class. And to day I had the EGD. After I woke up from the EGD the first thing I asked the nurse was if I had a hernia and she said no. OMG!! I immediately started crying. I cried for about 5-10 minutes thinking what am I gonna do now? How can I afford to do this without the help of getting the hernia repair paid by insurance. Then the doctor walked by a couple of times and then he asked me is the anesthesia getting to you? I said no, the nurse told me I didn't have a hernia! He said, yes you do, you had a big one, here's the picture of it. The nurse had misunderstood what I had asked!! Thank God I had one!! lol

I started my pre op diet yesterday and will have surgery 06/24. It is starting to get very real now and I am so excited!!

I've been pretty good don't get me wrong it's painful it is surgery but I wasn't in a lot. If you can tolerate the pain try not to get on the strong meds cause I kept telling them I was in pain and it's not bad so they never put in morphine they kept me on tylenol so being home they gave me tylenol making the transition easier. Some people go on morphine at the hospital and are like it's not terrible but than get home and are miserable. The gas pain is real but if you walk the minute you wake up it will start moving and be less intense. I still have it now but very small
