Day 7 of 2 week pre-op diet. Good times, indeed!

@clsumrall I noticed you were confused on my earlier response. Assuming your confused from my stats on my prior VSG? I'm having a revision of my sleeve next Wednessay.

I need some good vibes and prayers- surgery scheduled for Monday January 23rd- already on my pre-op diet and got cardiac, psych, gastro, and pulmonologist clearance. However- my insurance is still “pending”. The girls at my surgeons office said they sent it on the July 2nd but the insurance company is saying they got it the 10th and they have 14 days to review. That would mean they have u til the 24th to approve and it could be too late. Please send me some good vibes and prayers- this stress is sending me through the roof right now!!

@kristinolivia I do that too - looking at the countdown makes it seem so much more real. And sooner! I'm the day after you. The best to you 👍

Hello, yall

Found out today I am also a July sleever. Scheduled for July 24th. My surgeons only concern was my anxiety. Understanding I am on a military base and they can see all your records and meds going back years. So he wrote me a script to take daily. And I will do so. I love love my surgeon. He gives out his cell number and actually answers. Hahaha. I am beyond excited. The count down is on. And no preop diet. Looking for a surgery buddy!!!!

That's my survey date too 😁

Not long after writing this they called and rescheduled my surgery date to Aug. 14th. A real bummer

[Chunkysoup 75]

Boo! That stinks I’m sorry, I know that’s a big disappointment!

Hey Kat0000 there is a very nice bunch in the August Forum, know you're a little peeved at the moment but they will be thrilled to have YOU. With my September 5th date I just missed them but they have been kind enough to grant me visiting rights! Just a little more time to get yourself ready!!!

Well everything, I’m post op day 2!!! I’m in a lot of pain... I’m truly grateful for the forums and peoples comments because it helped me.. out of surgery that evening I walked and was feeling great and then around 2am these spasms start happening... felt like contractions... it’s normal they say... of course abdominal pain and soreness and nausea... my first liquids I threw up 😠 but with all the medications I am able to tolerate some fluids... what I’ve realized is that if the liquid is too cold or to hot.. my stomach is not feeling it.. so I’ve been doing things room temperature.. I’m not trying to scare anyone... but this surgery was nothing like my gallbladder... much more pain... yesterday I was having buyers remorse, but today I am feeling a lot better.... if these spasms go away... I will be happy!!! One again thank you for the blogs that gave real information, because when it happens to me I said to my self.. that’s what the bloggers said would happen... I’m going to try full liquids to see if my stomach tolerates that per the surgeons order... I have 5 incisions and I got
Rid of the catheter on post op day 1....
