izzy13 117 Posted October 6, 2016 Had my pre admission testing today, almost there - sleeve surgery on 10/12 [emoji38] I'm nervous but I had emergency gallbladder surgery and ended up almost a week in the hospital this past weekend, I kind of thought of it as a warm up practice run lol. I'm hoping the dr can use the same incisions since I'll still have the steri-strips on!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tanyamann32 84 Posted October 7, 2016 I went in to have my surgery and was prep and waiting and the hospital had an emergency and they had to reschedule my surgery appointment to Monday October 10th. At first I was disappointed and then I hoped the person that needed emergency surgery survived because I can wait 4 more days for my new life to begin. I also learned so much during the time I waited. Every situation is a learning experience if you let !

KristenLe 5,979 Posted October 7, 2016 Going home from hospital today. Feeling weak but know that's normal. Can't wait to get on the scale. Hope everyone is doing great! You probably gained weight in the hospital from all the fluids, swelling, gas, etc. so don't be disappointed in what the scale says. It's best to stay off of it for a few weeks.

perspectiveiseverything 105 Posted October 7, 2016 I'm doing well. Came home yesterday morning. I've been doing a lot of walking around the neighborhood (even went to Target yesterday afternoon!) and staying hydrated. Getting in some Protein (sipping bone broth) but mainly focusing on hydration. Tomorrow (3rd day post-op) is when my team wants me to start focusing on Protein - I'll be moving from Clear Liquids to full liquids then). I hope that everyone is doing well!!
