dunnadunna 26 Posted April 27, 2016 I'm scheduled for my gastric sleeve procedure at 3:15pm, but I'm to be there by 1:15. Can anyone give me a general idea of what to expect from when I get there? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Foxy_lady 22 Posted April 27, 2016 Aren't you excited?! lol I was nervous but for me they just did the blood work, prepped me for surgery and that was it. But then told me that I would not be able to drink for about 12 hours after the procedure Good luck I hope everything goes well.

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App I am excited because this has been such a long process lol. I'm ready to be on the other side of surgery. I think not drinking will be hard. I've had only Clear liquids for over 24 hours and nothing allowed beyond midnight last night. I'm nervous, too. It's a big deal having that much of any organ removed, but I think I'll be okay.

Foxy_lady 22 Posted April 27, 2016 I felt the same way, honestly I did feel regret right after because I was in so much pain and I felt like I betrayed my body by going through surgery; but in time it got better.

SusanB55 89 Posted April 27, 2016 Best wishes to you! Just got my approval yesterday for band to sleeve revision and I've heard how much more intense that surgery is so although I'm grateful for another chance to lose weight, I am sooo scared! Plus my husband is getting sleeved this Monday and I'm worried for him. It's all becoming real. I hope you have very little discomfort and a quick recovery. God Bless!

Congratulations on your approval! It can be a scary process, for sure. I wish your husband the best. I'm sure he's in good hands, as I'm sure you will be as well. I thank you for the well wishes.

brealbgr 3 Posted April 28, 2016 Just had mine done 6 days ago , pain is gone , getting use to eating so little of a Protein shake and being filled up. Lost 15 LB already . Can feel the difference. Off all medication for diabetes, blood pressure . Great move - you will love when you lose weight . Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
