I am schedule to have my sleeve around 2:30. I'm quite emotional because I am here by myself. My husband is at work and the kids get out of school around that time so it made sense for him to tend to them since I will be spending the night. My dad dropped me off at the hospital but because I choose to only tell my husband about the surgery, he didn't stay. So much going on in my head right now and tears watering my eyes. Praying for all those going through surgery today. I don't question my decision about not telling anyone. The emotions are for the unknown that I will face in a couple of hours and moving forward.

I know right now you're kinda lonely, but soon you'll be back home and starting your new life. My kids are older so we didn't have to be home when they did, but my husband did not hang around much that evening after the surgery. I was groggy and sore anyway.

Good luck, by now you should be sleeved and up walking trying to get rid of those gas pains. You'll feel so much stronger knowing YOU did this!!!!! When I go in for surgery my husband won't be able to go either as we have 2 kids he'll have to take care of, so I'll also be alone. You can do it ????

Thanks everybody! I had to spend an extra night in the hospital because I couldn't get my nausea/puking under control. Other than that and some occasional irritating gas pains, everything else is going good. I'm getting in many laps at the hospital and really no pain at all on surgery sites.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
