Good luck to each of you tomorrow! May you have a wonderful experience with very little pain!
Daddyfat2thin, you are in the very best hands!. Dr. A, Dr. Gabe , Jessica and Jesus will take very good care of you. Be aware, when they put you on the gurney and the guy says we will give you something to make you relax.....that is all you will remember until you wake several hours later. it is all good! God be with you tomorrow!

Good luck to each of you tomorrow May your surgeries go perfectly! See you on the loser's bench!!

Thank you, Klyn! Can't believe I'm on that list for tomorrow!
Good luck, everyone!
xoxoxox....

Thanks for the well wishes! I'm sitting at the hotel in TJ and it's super nice! I have moments of pure anxiety and then calmness. My emotions are definitely all over the place! And today has been the hardest on liquids, I would kill to just taste anything at this point!!!

Good luck to each of you tomorrow May your surgeries go perfectly! See you on the loser's bench!!

I am home doing well...I may not contact here for a couple of days everyone not because of my sleeve but because I have a cold and need to get better and get working...Will check on things in a couple of days...those getting sleeved no stressing and those just sleeved welcome to this side of the line...hugs all...

I am still here with Dr. Alvarez. /I will get discharged tomorrow. Dr. A was so gentle and caring, help me in no pain what so ever, in fact things were so good with my surgery that i decided to go downstairs to the dentist and have 10 teeth pulled and am still feeling great.
no one has a thing to worry about with Dr. Alvarez.

Thank you. I have to be there for 530am. I know who my God is and he is in control. I've turned it over to him.

Don't push yourself, it will get easier each day to reach goal. I have never made it anywhere near 64 oz. I am going potty often and my urine is light in color, that is what matters. Before you know it, you will be drinking all you need each day. Our tummy is still very swollen and healing, be nice to it
I have found that, for me, green tea goes down very easy and the Unjury chicken for Protein. My DR says Clear Liquids only for 7 days, then the following week I can have the Protein Shakes again. I am not even remotely hungry, so I am thankful I am not expected to put much in my new tummy.

Congratulations! Wishing you a smooth transition home and into your new life!

Welcome, Raulena, It is great to have you here. I am only 5 days out from surgery and I love the fact that I can find so much info here for sleeve surgery. The sleeve is a bit differently than other WLS, so it is great to find a group of sleevers to communicate with. All of going through the same things and helping each other along the journey.

Futureskinnypants, Sv2, Sweeteelme, Dizzylizzy83 & Krr you are all up to BAT tomorrow.. Good Luck to you all!! God watch over all that are having their surgery on Aug 8th and guide the hands of the surgeons, in Jesus name.. Amen..

my surgery is really thursday...one more day to go, i'm getting nervous but i'm so ready for the change. good luck to those who had surgery today

Today is the day. Driving from LA to Tijuana now -- 134 miles to go.
This scripture was the focus of my devotion today!
"For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us." (Romans 8:18)
Please keep me in your prayers. May God be with everyone who is having surgery today or is recovering from surgery.
Don't know what I would do without you guys!

Hi!! IV is in and I'm waiting to be rolled back to surgery :-)

I have to agree! I've perused other month threads, and when i saw that there were only a few 100 a figured I had missed some or something! LoL
We are lucky to have such a big, supportive group!

QOTD: Do you have any major award planned for yourself along the way down the scale or at the end?
I really hope to make it to Hawaii or take a South Pacific & Tahiti Cruise. I am more than scared of plastic surgery. I will have to be miserable in my skin to have it done. I would rather vacation!

I cannot tell you how happy I was to meet you. My husband even said, boy, you gals sure have a bond because of this surgery! It was amazing to him to see us meet and act like we had known each other before in life. Please try to rest as you travel home, I got pretty wiped out from the airplane, as they were short flights with a layover and I did not get any rest at all. I was stressing my body by the time we made it home last night! Drink all the time, Susan says it helps so much. I feel SO much better being home today!! Home just makes us feel good . I look forward to a day when we will meet again and be able to spend time together big hugs!!
I hope that you are feeling good too!

Good to hear that you are doing better, Melly! Hope that you are doing well with your baby boy, that has to be tough when he wants his mommy to hold him and such. Take care and keep on napping

TAIDYED,
So glad you are awake and feeling as well as expected. The gas pains do hurt. Thank goodness, I did not have much of that after my surgery. You had a lot of work done inside so you probably will have more pain than normal. Hopefully they will keep it under good control for you.
I wish you all the best, hopefully you can get a good night's rest tonight.

I agree 110 %. Slow and easy, NO complications ladies!! Rest, walk and get your liquids in. DO NOT stress your staples. Best wishes to each of you that are hitting the loser's bench today. It is an awesome place to be !!

Hey there...well I'm now on the other side of the sleeve. I'm tired and s bit uncomfortable but otherwise just fine. Doctor said it went well. Took the band out, biopsy the liver (standard procedure I'm told), aid the sleeve and fixed a small hernia. Pain meds will be helpful.
Gas is annoying but happy to be done with the surgery. Now comes the work.... :-)
