12/2 surgery people?!

Stumbled across this app at just the right time. Have my Sleeve surgery in 9 hours. This is my first post.

I had Lap-band installed in 2013, it slipped had it removed in 2016, was supposed to do revision a few months later, but chickened out. Then after yo-yoing the last 3 years, and increasingly worsening back pain, finally decided to go through with it.

Was kinda here reading through here psyching myself out a bit. But know the benefits outweigh the fear.

Anyone else out there a 12/2 sleever? Or December at all?

Best of luck to all of ya!

Good luck on your surgery. I had my lap band removed and got the sleeve on 11/13. Doing good so far - enjoying my time off work as I took the full 6 weeks. I am down 15 pounds since surgery - not getting much exercise in yet.

Hello Steve! I was a December 3rd sleever. Hope your surgery has gone well.

I'm 35/M/CO.

GW - low 200s.

Things have been going surprisingly well for me....pain is manageable (2/3 on a 10 point scale) and I can sip 5oz of Water in around 15 minutes. I'm sure the cocktail of painkillers and anti-anxiety meds are contributing...lol.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
