Hello everyone!
I was approved a few days ago (after only waiting a week) and received my surgery date for December 12, 2018! I chose this date out of the few offered to me because I am currently in college and I will be able to finish up my classes prior to the surgery (which was a huge worry of mine.) It's about two weeks before my birthday too!
Anyone else scheduled out in December?

Good luck tomorrow!

So I’ve moved on to smooth consistency food today. It’s amazing how quickly I fill up. The best thing I ate today was 1/4 cup of mashed potato with a scoop of GENEPRO Protein (30 grams) and a tablespoon of salsa.

I know every program is different but my dr warned me NOT to use GENEPRO, as he believed it doesn’t contain the protein it says and can lead to serious problems. Just an FYI.

I'm nervous too. What part scares you the most? The surgery or the little stomach? I'm worried about all of it.

I was most worried about getting sick after surgery, but was really scared in general

My surgery was yesterday lots of gas pain but have Not gotten sick at all. They started me on zofran before they did the test

Had my surgery late Monday afternoon. They let me come home 24 hours later. Today, my first full day has been a little rough. Pain is not too bad, but have had too work at getting fluids in because makes me a tad sick. Just keep plugging away sipping and walking around the house and doing breathing treatment thingy:). I haven't had to take pain meds so far today, but have taken the nausea meds. Dr. said to just try to keep sipping, but not to the point I throw up. It is, after all, only day 1. Keeping things positive!

I had my sleeve yesterday and everything went smoothly. My biggest complaint is the gas, it is no joke.

[kjuno 53]

Yea they gave me bental shots for the gas pain it’s was awful!!!

I've had multiple abdominal surgeries for endometriosis and had little gas. Wonder how this surgery will be? I'm expecting it to be a breeze because the other ones I've had were horribly painful!
