Surgery on Monday!

[sarajeano 28]

Pretty excited, but also really nervous. I'm doing a lot of going back and forth in my head. I'm going through with it no matter what, but of course there's a little devil on my shoulder.

Today I started the pre-op diet, which is not liquid only. I can't get full, so I keep thinking about food, but I'm sticking to it.

I had to stop birth control for the surgery, and I had my period two weeks ago. I got it back again since hormones are out of whack and am bummed I'll have it through surgery. Any post op people have any advice?

Everyone keep your fingers crossed it all goes well!

Good Luck! You'll do great and be on the Loser's Bench before you know it! I can't believe I'm 11 days post op! It passes fast!

I was sleeved August 10 and had my period at that time. They may give you some mesh underwear to wear with a pad during surgery. And if they give you heparin injections you may bleed a little more than normal.

Keep us updated. I have around 4 weeks and I'm still reading on this site every chance I get!

I'm home from surgery. Worst part was waking up and that awful pain on my chest + nausea. Thankful for awesome nurses and that magic button of drugs I could hit. They found a hiatal hernia while in there and fixed it at the same time, so I have two extra incisions and a little more pain than usual.

I slept a LOT. And when I got home yesterday, I took a shower and slept from 4 pm until 4 this morning and had a little nap today. Took a lot out of me.

Day one I couldn't even feel the incisions, just the nausea and chest pain. Come day 2 and having to get up to use the bathroom was painful and still is.

My period was just about to end going in to surgery, but now the blood is extremely red and heavy. I called the surgeon to be sure that's okay but she reminded me my hormones are out of whack and my body just had a serious trauma. I will be fine. These incisions suck though. I can't even bend over to wipe. Sorry for the TMI.
