August surgery checkin..Everyone post in this string about your surgery.

This is our month so lets all post how are surgery went....

I definitely will do so!

I'm scheduled for Tuesday 8/11, will be home by 8/12 and I'll let everyone know how it went. Great idea to have one string for this info.

My surgery was on August 4th, got home on the 6th. It went very well. I was in recovery a bit longer than expected, but I was unconscious, so I can't really complain!

So far the worse part has been the gas. It makes getting my fluids difficult. Also, the protein drinkls don't taste so good. Oh well, I'll tough it out!

GOP,
Great to hear your surgery went well. You can support the rest of us since your surgery was early in the month. Thanks for checking in.

Thanks TC and Susan...I hope you are as excited as I am.

Had surgery on the 4th.  Everything went well!  My sleeve was really really swollen afterwards so it took forever for me to drink.  And at our hospital we had to drink 5 oz of protein in one day before we could even go home.  I was ready to go home on the 5th but they kept me until the 6th because of the drinking.

Get those ice chips in!  They do help with the swelling!

So far my only complaints are the gas, rumbling from tummy and instestines, oh and I can't seem to sleep for more than an hour at a time.

Had lap band on 04AUG. Surgery took a little bit longer than planned (2+ hours) but so far, so good. Worst part so far is the gas, getting some Gas X today so hopefully that will help.

Good luck those of you who are yet to come this month!

scheduled for 8/24- starting my liquid diet on Monday- congrats all you losers!!!!

I posted a LONG recap of my surgery on my blog. To long to repost, lol, so if you are interested check it out. I am doing a lot better. I burp a lot but don't have any real problems with gas pain and I can sleep on my side and I am inching onto my stomach slowly. The surgery is starting to seem like a dream except I am having problems getting all my fluids in. It starts to feel like all I do anymore is drink water
