hayr995 8 Posted August 1, 2018 I'm August 9th. Getting nervous, but mostly for the actual procedure because I've never had surgery or stayed in the hospital before 2 KRush88 and Auroragirl4489 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MegPRN 204 Posted August 1, 2018 Hi everyone! This is my first post on this forum. I'm scheduled for a sleeve on August 16. My doctor doesn't require a specific pre-op diet, they just recommended losing some weight (and not gaining over starting weight) over the course of the 6-month doctor-supervised diet plan. I'm happy to be here, and finally taking my health seriously 3 Auroragirl4489, clsumrall and Wanda247 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Since the stomach anatomy is changed by the procedure it's helpful for medical staff to know this if something were to happen and you were unable to speak for yourself. It also alerts them to meds you should avoid. 2 Frustr8 and clsumrall reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Malcy 132 Posted August 2, 2018 In August 1st! Getting nervous and excited!! Can't wait to hear how it went for you today Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Malcy 132 Posted August 2, 2018 So my gastric sleeve is scheduled for August 1st. my husband and I are driving to Texas the day before and surgery is in the very early morning. I am getting very nervous. I only been doing a 7 week pre op diet because the first week of preop I was bad girl. I thought it would be my last time eating my favorite foods and I ended up gaining 4 pounds. But wls is not the end of the road for eating your favorite foods. I figured that out on my own and I began my preop late but the big thing I started it and I lost a little weight. The most important thing is making sure my liver has been shrinking and with the little weight loss, I am sure it has shrunk. it does not take long for that. I know you are nervous, as I am, it is going to be a great journey, youre going to get your life back. We got this chica!!! How has your pre op diet been going? As you previously read, my sucked but I hoped back on the band wagon and my surgery is on 3 days omg!!I can't wait to hear how it went for you today. I hope all went well Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using BariatricPal mobile app 2 Frustr8 and clsumrall reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
