Recommended Posts

Hi All!

I was sleeved today, about 6 hours ago. I’m feeling pretty great, I don’t feel like an elephant is sitting on me, or a ton of gas pain. I just sipped Water for the first time and it didn’t hurt at all!

After battling the insurance company I finally have my full approval. 👍🏻 My Surgery is May 7. Looking forward to the next phase.

Congratulations Dubbs it couldn't happen to a finer critter. Where will you be having your surgery? Now that you have an exact date, you can finish getting ready for the big Day. Boy you have such a short time to wait, that's next Monday. Please remember to update us when its all over, okay?😝

Well it could be done in Sturgis, of course you might wake up,with a biker tattoo, the operating technicians would be a biker gang,
But Sioux Falls sounds like a credible location,and I m sure they will,do fine by you. I will have my surgery, a RnY at OSU.in Columbus Ohio, when- only God Knows

Doing well over here. Just to my IV fluids for a leisurely stroll. Had a tiny bit of the pumpkin Soup they brought me, and will try some formulite Meal Replacement shake later today. I'm expecting a few visitors later today so may now post again until tomorrow.

Wishing everyone being sleeved now and soon the best of luck and rapid healing. 😍

My surgery is May 3rd and I’m officially nervous and having a lot of anxiety. I have been having trouble sleeping and having weird dreams. I honestly can’t wait for this to be over because my nerves are getting the best of me. . I’m I the only one?

I'm on May 3rd too and just like you anxious. All the best to you!

Yeah I spent a lot of time,in and around Westervile. When my k8ds were little we,lived across from Sharon Woods Metro Park. While my daughter would be at school I would load the baby,in a stroller, the older boy in a Gerry backpack and we would walk the road ( Shtick Road) into,Westerville, shop and walk back home. I was in my early-mid 30s,and saw nothing wrong with that. Now there is so,much,busy traffic on that Road, Cleveland Ave and Westerville Rd, it wouldnt be safe. But this was 35+ years ago. 😝🌷

Oh sure I do, has your mom sent you any Cheryls Cookies, used to shop their retail store in the French Market. Funny about that place, there was a large pretty courtyard with a lot of very nice shoppes around the perimeter. Had a wonderful Gyro shop there as well. It was quite the shopping destination in the 70s, expected it would be there forever, went there more. than Eastland, Westland and Northlake all of which are pretty defunct,as well. Anyway there was also a beautiful. bunch of townhouse apartments as well as apartments over top of the perimeter shoppes. It was called the Continent, pretty high price rentals. Well in the years since we went and moved away many stores left, the apartments remain. but they are attracting the wrong part,of clientele. A year or so a man held his ex-girl friend and their children hostage, before the police could defuse the situation he shot,and killed the mother in front of the small children. The hotels that once cartered to families,traveling and vacationing there became hotbeds of prostitution, and several have been boarded up. Guess I lived in a neater sweeter time in Suburban Columbus.😪

      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.
