My Surgery Date is Tomorrow!

[edithf71 5]

Hi all! My surgery date is tomorrow, June 15th. I'm nervous, scared and anxious. Not only am I getting sleeved but I'm also fixing a hernia that has given me issues. Any advice or information about how I will feel that first day?

I've got about six hours till check in and I can't sleep! Good luck with your surgery tomorrow!

I couldn't sleep either. The fact that I can't have Water either is tough. Good luck to you too, mandaroo.

Hello... Just wondering how things are going for you?

[edithf71 5]

Things are looking up. My experience so far has turned out to be tougher than I expected. I spent 3 days in the hospital (a day & 1/2 longer than I expected). I can finally say I am no longer suffering from a horrendous case of nausea. I'm struggling to get all the required liquids. I'm drinking Water, clear Protein and eating sf popsicles. Things are looking up. I have my first follow-up app next week.

Glad to hear things are looking better! . The nausea was the worst for me but it didn't last three days... Just the morning.

Thank goodness! Now I'm dealing with gas and bloating. I'm walking 2x a day but it still bothers me. I just bought a box of Gas X strips. I'm hoping they work because it's hard to drink anything without gas and bloating. I'm glad you're doing okay.

Gas x definitely helps....
