Any other November sleevers out there?



Recommended Posts

I'm flying to Tijuana to on Sunday to have my sleeve done on Monday.

Anyone else go to Mexico? How was your experience?

Wishing all the November sleevers a speedy recovery.

Flew to Tijuana on Thursday, November 17 and had surgery on Friday, November 18th. I am flying home on Sunday, November 20th. Everything went great the first night after surgery and the day after were the worse with pain and gas pain. Going home today and pain is not bad. The blue liquid you have to drink for test and the clear liquid for second test is nasty. You will do fine.

I'm scheduled for November 22nd!

Me too! I can't believe it's right around the corner! The day after tomorrow. It definitely snuck up on me. How are you feeling? I'm a little anxious, but nothing too bad. I hope your surgery goes well and your recovery is as easy as possible!

Same as both of you, Nov 22! I'm slightly worried about the liver shrinking enough but it's more like I can't believe this is finally happening. Haha Ready to go!

I think as long as we follow the pre-op diet and don't cheat, we should be okay. That's what I'm telling myself, at least, because that was something I could control. I knew I was doing my part. Whether it actually shrunk from the diet is out of my hands, but at least I know I followed my orders. I worry so much about everything as it is, I try to let go of what I can. Definitely doesn't always work, though lol.

I'm spending the day getting things ready and organized, washing bed sheets, and packing my bag. Is yours in the AM? How are you feeling?

I'm scheduled for Wednesday the 23rd! I'm feeling very anxious and nervous. But then i go back and look at the pages and pages of photos and positive results and know that it will be worth it!!

That is what I do. I also tell myself, knee surgery is more complicated and I know 5 people who have gotten one of their knees done.

Okay, so I spoke to the WLS center today and they ask to move my surgery up by 1 week. So now it will be on the 25th. I am so cautiously excited but I know this will be good for me.

Oh, no! I am so sorry! I hope you get well very soon and don't get too down about the push back. It's still real and happening, don't lose your momentum! You've got this!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
