I was suppose to go in tomorrow the 19th and they just called and said anesthesia isn’t happy with my ekg so it looks like my surgery is getting postponed. Might be good considering the snow falling right now and the over hour drive. Still very disappointed especially that they waited until the day before to tell me or call! 😥

Gastric sleeve scheduled a week from now, on the 25th. I'm in Sweden but originally from Canada so joining here because it's an English speaking forum. Good luck to everyone who is getting their operation done or who has just recently done it this month!

If you don’t mind me asking why was yours postponed? I always have abnormal ekgs for everything. I’ve been to a cardiologist many times and they say my heart is fine. Now the ekg is showing changes and they did not make me see one prior and waited until now to tell me. I have a family history of heart disease as my dad died from a heart attack but I am still fairly young. I know that doesn’t mean anything. For now I am just frustrated. I had the lapband for 10 years and did so well with it and had it removed in an emergency surgery right before covid. Between those two things and losing my job I put on a lot of weight in a year. It’s a discouraging situation right now.

Three more sleeps until surgery day! Tomorrow I do my covid test, the next day I get my surgery time, and the day after - it's done! This has been a multi-year journey, a couple years of contemplation, then a full year of active participation in my clinic's program. Hard to believe it's finally happening.

@Beccs2011 and @LisaZar I see we are surgery day pals - wishing you both the best of luck!

I had my gastric sleeve done on Thursday. I’m not so much in pain as I am in discomfort. It’s difficult to drink the minimum amount of liquid. My fiancé bought fast food for himself yesterday and the smell of it almost made me gag.

      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.
