I had my sleeve done yesterday. I've been very sleepy from the anesthesia and in some pain, but it's manageable. Toughest is drinking. I get a cramping sensation and I can feel the air moving around.

I just did three laps in the corridors to get the gas moving.

Yay!!! You had it done! That's awesome. I worry so much about the pain after (I'm a big baby). Speaking of babies - I had a csection before does it feel worse than that (assuming you had one or does anyone know?). Did you have that X-ray thing yet where you have to swallow contrast media to see if there is a leak? Does your surgeon do that? And if so was it nasty/hard to swallow? Congrats for walking so much ! Yay !!!! Keep us posted. We are all nervous. I'm July 29.

I had a c section before I go in on Friday thr 10th I will let you know if its as bad as that was (reminded me plz)

I had 3 c sections and this was nothing like having a c section....this is more like having my gallbladder out. Gas pain and nausea was the worst...just make sure you walk and keep hydrated!

I am scheduled for this morning. Yesterday the hospital called and said my chest x-ray looked like I had pneumonia! I am still in shock. I have no symptoms. I asked the woman twice if she had the correct files.

Called my surgeon right away and he looked over my blood work and said it did not look like I had pneumonia.

So his morning I have to have another chest x-ray to determine if I am okay for surgery. I am fine with waiting, but part of me is disappointed. This has been an off and on, start and stop journey of a year so far. Maybe the rest will be a breeze in comparison!

Hope all is good & u get to go forward as planned

Keep us posted

Well 10 hours after surgery and doing ok. Some pain that is manageable with the meds. Almost back out this morning being afraid but thank god I didn't. It's over and was a breeze. The one thing I would advise everyone to get is I can really give that helped tremendously is biotene dry mouth rinse. You really need this!!!! It's been a life saver!!! Other than that just very tired. Good luck to everyone else...

I just had my appointment with my surgeon yesterday for a revision from a band. He scheduled me for July 13! I'm super excited, but a little nervous I'm in over my head because I have two little girls and my husband is gone for the summer.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
