Surgery tomorrow, 7/8/16

[bg9249 18]

I went through lapband surgery in September 2011, and was successful with the lapband. When I got pregnant they removed all fluids in my band. In September 2015 I went to get a fill to learn that my port was inverted and my band is slipping. I made the decision to convert from a band to a sleeve, and will have surgery tomorrow. I'm nervous and excited, hoping for a speedy recovery.

Best of luck to you ladies, you will be in my prayers. My surgery date is on the 21st of this month and I'm on my 2nd day of the liquid diet. All of your posts are what's keeping me motivated during these days.

God bless ya!

My surgery went great! I was out if recovery 3 hours ago. Feeling fully coherent, dinner of broth and sugar free cranberry juice (which I thought was to sweet), and ice chips.

So far so fabulous, day one down!

Awesome your surgery went great but I'm wondering I thought you had to wait until the next day and drink some type of funny liquid before you sip on broth. Did you drink the Fluid in the same day that they let you eat dinner

They did my leak test while I was still under anesthesia.

They said Clear liquids yesterday. I have not recieved anything today yet.

Mine went well also!! I had it done in outpatient surgery so I came home last night. I had a few hour of intense gas pain, but other than that just a little abdominal soreness.

I'm on room temperature Water and broth only until 5 pm, when I can start full liquids as tolerated.

I'm already amazed that I am just not hungry. I'm super thirsty though, and taking smaller sips is a bit of a challenge!

Little sips are difficult for me too. If I drink too fast I get this crazy burp type of gas.
