AWESOME! Good to see what 3 months ahead hears like!

I had the same deal. I had a headache that wouldn't go away at all! On the last night (3rd day post op) my Dr. had me drink a little gatoraide and applejuice to get a tiny bit of sugar in me. It helped TONS! =)

I was also worried! Put faith in the medical team. These days they really know what they are doing! You will get through this. xoxoxo

Luck to you! I'm 1 day post op and 2 days away from family. I know how you feel.

Sorry I didn't see your thread! Hope you are slaying it =)

I was in the same boat! I'm now less than 24 hours post op and feeling as good as I should. Even yesterday I was a mess, but I feel much better now! Best of Luck

Hi, I'm one day post op. I'm doing ad well as I expected. I've jus been propped up on my back aot and a 1/2 hour ago roll to the right side instead of the drain plug side.

Thanks everyone! It means a lot. I did all my pre op testing and just had my last meal with my sleeve sister and her mom who adopted me =). I'm about to take the sleeping aid and antibiotic I was told to take. @ooh shelia, I'm in Mexicali. Wishing you the best as well! Ill post up after surgery tomorrow! Thanks everyone for your support.

I was there too! Wishing you the best. I'm here waiting....=)

Well folks, I just landed at the airport. Super early. I'm waiting for Ernesto from Dr. Aceves' office to pick me up. I can't wait to meet my sleeve mates. I'm by myself and saying goodbye to my husband and son was super hard this morning. I sat on the plane and almost lost it. I can't believe I'm doing this. I can't eat which is fine with me. Just have butterflies in my tummy instead of a pizza =)

Good Luck!

ME TOO!!!!!!!!! We have the same date! I'm super nervous! WAY NERVOUS.

HI! I'm kind of new here too. It's pretty informative, I like it1 welcome aboard!

I need to chime in on this one. So, I think it's FANTASTIC that Michelle Obama is trying to get the country and it's kids on the move and to eat healthier! I love her. I can't recall the previous first lady making any such efforts! I think she looks beautiful! So, blaming her to "dictate" what we eat is obsurd, she's just trying to educate us on what we put into our bodies the same way doctors and fellow sleevers on this board do. It would be obsurd for me to blame Sarah Palin for the horrific acts that happened in Arizona right? But in reality wasn't she "dictating" the danger zones with a gunsight that had Gabrielle Giffords name on it? I'm a little bit more human to even go there and blame her for that. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion YES, but how we express it is where it really matters. Everyone gets a set of kahoney's behind a keyboard. Just like me right now. But, I had to break my "tact" to reply to some of these posts. All in all, guns don't kill people, people kill people......and the same goes for food...food doesn't kill people, we kill ourselves with the terrible foods we consume. Peace out....and HAPPY MARTIN LUTHER KING DAY!

DITTO here! I ride a motorcycle to work everyday and wonder how long I will be off. Let me know how you are doing now?

Awesome! I have mine done next Thursday. I'm getting excited and nervous. Congrats to you!

Thank You for the info. I go Jan.20th. Very helpful!

Hope all went well! Congrats and I can't wait to hear how it's going. I'm up in 12 days!

THANKS EVERYONE! I'm sorry I got a little frustrated. I'm just getting so super nervous because I'm going to get it done Jan. 21st. Everything is in order and I'm just rushing through a train load of emotions. (((sorry)))

I guess no one cares to help answer my questions on this forum. Can anyone at least suggest a support group who will help me with some of my questions?

GOOD LUCK! you will be o.k.! thoughts are with you.

Hi everyone, I'm new to this board and glad I found it. I'm scheduled for surgery on Jan. 21 with Dr. Aceves and think I made a great decision with the doctor. I'm going through a lot of emotions the past week as I get closer to surgery. I'm starting to get terrified that my mortality might be compromised in the future without a gross portion of my stomach and the staples that they may leak. I have a 4 year old son and want to be around for him forever. Are these normal feelings? Thanks everyone!
