[lauraellen80 855]

Got my check-in time for Monday's surgery--6am! I'm sooooo not a morning person, but glad I don't have to wait around all day, being nervous.

t hi s may be TMI, but passing gas after surgery has made me feel so much better!

I too felt better the day after surgery, in fact as soon as u got up and walked, and the Water thing is also hard for me since I love water, just trying to sip is a big adjustment, still very sleepy though I want to try to stay awake tomorrow, the pain isn't as bad as I thought it would be, I will try to go get the mail tomorrow for some walking, can't wait to go back to the gym!!!!!

pain much more tolerable now. feeling pretty ok. I do have a question, (this may be gross) should I be having bowel movements by day 4? nothing yet? not sure if it because I am using all the nutrients I put into my body, or if anesthesia and pain medicine have constipated me. I honestly don't have any urge to go..

Because I was having a hard time tooting in the hospital, they gave me a suppository ( I know... Yuck) BUT, it cleared my system really well of gassy stuff too...sooo it is definitely worth asking about to make sure all systems are working!

I'm glad all of us have gotten through this week and are feeling better and ready to start rockin the weight loss!

Good idea. I am having surgery in Tijuana and I am guessing they will give me one if I ask for one, but I might bring some just incase. This is common after most surgeries when you have been put under general anesthesia. It can take several days for your body to get back on track and by day 4, I would certainly do something to help it along.

June 25th is my official date for now...if feels like I might have a few more hurdles due to needing a Upper GI and being self pay...everyone wants the money upfront before I even get an apt and extra fees that I hadn't planned for are appearing I'm hoping everything works out and I'll be sleeved on schedule!!!

Happy to say I had my upper GI on 6/11 and everything looked good, and I'm cleared for surgery on 6/25. I just have to go to a hospital required workshop/seminar on 6/20 and meet with the nutritionist the day before surgery on 6/24. I'm still very nervous, it won't seem real until the day of surgery.

Thanks good people! Things "are starting to move along".

I'll be checking in at six too! Got to drive about an hour before I get to the hospital. Don't think I'll sleep well Sunday! Good luck to you!

I had my surgery on June 10. I'm 3 days post-op and my biggest problem is a horrible headache that will not go away. Anyone else experience this?
