newyearnewme17 10 Posted October 6, 2017 I’m scheduled for 10/20 (which is also my birthday!) I’m still waiting on insurance approval, so I’m a little worried about that. I should hear back next week. I’ve been doing a ton of reading and research and I feel pretty prepared, although I’m still nervous as heck. I’ll probably panic once it’s actually time. But for now I’m okay. Just ready to get this over with so I can start my new life! 3 Sosewsue61, pfisher and RomAnca reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jcb123 115 Posted October 6, 2017 I'm scheduled for Oct 24th. I feel like these next two weeks are going to drag because of my anticipation for this surgery. I started this entire process in January of this year and after 10 months I am beyond ready to get this journey started. I love this site, it has so much information and amazing people!!! 4 Taci, Beckik, pfisher and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

belinda401 116 Posted October 6, 2017 Just saw my doctor for pre-op and he said that I didn't have to do a pre-op diet. I just cannot gain weight before my surfery. I may do it a couple days before just to be on the safe side. 4 pfisher, RomAnca, Nancy MBGC and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beckik 13 Posted October 6, 2017 Awesome!!! So exciting!! Keep me posted as to how you're doing!!!You, too!!! I've been getting ready for the liquid diet, by gradually replacing meals with shakes, I cut out carbs the first part of August, so that's been good, too. I'm excited, nervous, scared, and determined, all at the same time!Sent from my VS995 using BariatricPal mobile app 1 pfisher reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BuffaloBill 168 Posted October 7, 2017 I was just released after getting my sleeve put in yesterday at 10am. I'm sore but it's manageable. I wanna let everybody in on something. Everything is great until u wake up from anaesthesia. Upon waking up I don't care who you are it's shocking. I felt like I got ran over by a mack truck. The pain is bad and u really can't move for 5-6 hours with IV's and monitors hooked up too you. But don't worry it only goes up from there. My temperature was high until this morning so my doctor decided to release me. I'm now at home and resting which is way better than being stuck in the hospital confined. My abdominal region is very sore. From what I heard and read every day improves drastically. Just be prepared for the day of surgery that is by far theeee worst day. It's only up from here. Just remember this is a major surgery on a major organ so healing is done from the inside out. Good luck to everybody and I'm looking forward to seeing how everybody's surgery went.
