Honestly I feel really good. I've only had Tylenol. A little sore at the incisions. Did a couple laps around floor last night. Started sips of Water this morning.

The gastrograph is to make sure your sleeve doesn't leak. The bariatric team will see if your stomach can handle liquids. 2 oz at a time. Once you can handle the 8oz of liquid don't be surprised if they give you pureed food. That"s what I did today. 1-2 hrs after i held down the food i was discharged and given a diet regimen. Good Luck tomorrow!

It is so exciting to finally have a date. I too had to complete the 6 months nutrition visits. I'm scheduled for Oct. 3. I've decided to walk each day and try to eat healthy. I'd like to lose 15 pounds prior to surgery.

Congratulations and best wishes.

I was 345 before visits and I just had my last visit and surgery next week and I'm at 331! You can do it

October 10 surgery planned. A 1.5cm gallstone was found on my prework up tests... i hope it doesn't cause me any trouble or my surgery might not be in oct after all :-(

Day 2 of pre-op liquids almost over - 12 more to go! This is not easy but I'm happy to say I'm sticking with it 100%.
