To anyone getting sleeved on or around December 5th

[Creekimp13 5,840]

Just wanted to say publicly that I'd welcome message exchanges with anyone going through this around the same time I am next week:)

Want to let someone know how it's going? Bored in your hospital room? Want to compare notes? Want to vent about this crazy process? Message me! I'd love to hear from you.

Just click my user name "Creekimp13" (in blue type to the left of this post)

Then, when you get to my page, right at the top of the page in the middle (under where is says Bariatric Pal) is a blue box that says message. There ya go:)

Might take me a bit, but I promise to respond to all messages.

Wishing you all a safe surgery and an excellent outcome!

I'm hopefully Dec 4th. I broke my foot last week and still waiting on my ortho clearance to walk. Fingers crossed! Good Luck with your surgery!

Good luck on your surgery. I’m one day behind you so I’ll be messaging you. Good luck on your journey!!!

Hi I’m new my surgery date is December 5th also. I’m happy and scared at the same time. I don’t have to do a pre opt diet. I have to drink Clear Liquids the day before surgery,but I’m continuing to watch my food intake. Be blessed everyone and good luck to us ALL we got this[emoji3]

Scheduled for the 5th, very nervous and happy. On my liquid diet now. Although there is temptations everywhere.

I'm having surgery on the 4th. I'm finally nervous about it. I think it's the right thing for me, and hopefully it will help me solve my lifelong yo-yo situation (exactly how many times can a person lose the same 50 or 60 lbs??). But.... I'm afraid nonetheless - of the surgery itself, of the recovery, of having unexpected, grim, life-long issues that I do not currently have, etc. Ugh. I want it to be over and done!!

I got my surgery on the 28th and I’ve been up and down in my weight for years as well. As Lon as you follow everything pre op and have a good support system for your post op it’ll be worth it.

I got a call this morning telling me what time to report to the hospital on Monday morning for the surgery. 7:30 am !! ! It feels really weird and surreal. I'm excited but also strangely calm about it. I think it is because this has been such a long journey this year. I went to my first surgeons's consult on Jan 27th 2017 and I'm finally ending 2017 with my surgery in Dec. I've read so many books, and posts, and watched so many Youtube videos about everything. I feel prepared . I'm ready for this change. 2018 is going to be about a healthier , more active me. I can't wait.

I made it through yesterday! I unfortuntely wokeup at 4 am with a Migraine which wasnt how I wanted to start the day.7 :30 am Pre op went good. I woke after surgery throwing up but I was so out of it that it didnt hurt. I slept off and on until about 5 pm. Then everytime they gave me pain meds I was dry heaving ... which was the absolute worst. They finally figured out at 1 am that they needed to change my pain meds to something else. I was up and walking at 2am and was getting around pretty good. Slept on and off until 7 am. I had my Barium swallow and everything was good. I finally got some broth to eat. I should be discharged within an hour or two. I hope everyone has a smooth surgery and a better post op experience than I had. That nausea kicked my butt. Good luck to everyone.
