Amazing feeling i bet, cant wait till I'm in twohunderland! good job.

Its a chore for me to get all the protein and water I need everyday, I have to schedule my eating and drinking times, not to mention the vitamin and mineral intake, its an all day task for me. And if I don't get my correct amount I feel weak.

I had a horrible hive reaction to pain meds, and I took Benadryl, and I was fine, however I do suggest you talk to your doctor before taking anything.

I totally agree, however my insurance only approved me for outpatient, the loophole is to have the doctor order overnight, after the surgery in order to have my insurance cover it. So yes it is considered an outpatient surgery to some insurance plans.

The sleeve is usually an outpatient surgery, however the doctor may order you to stay overnight, I have even known of some people on this board who stay 2 nights. I personally stayed overnight. I got sleeved on Oct 3rd, and I am feeling a lot better, just not ready for work yet, I suppose 2 - 3 weeks would be appropriate time to take off.

Hi my fellow sleeverers. I was sleeved on October 3rd so far im doing ok some gas and struggle geting enough protien and water but it gets easier everyday.

Starting weight 325lbs down 7 lbs on pre op diet 318lbs got sleeved on 10-3 fown 9lbs total 16lbs current weight 309 lbs

Oh that sounds terrible hope you feel better thanks for the warning.

I'm getting sleeved tomorrow and I can not pinpoint my emotions right now, If I could describe them it would be anxious, excited, nervous, and I feel a bit weak from being on my clear liquid diet for 2 days. I will keep you posted on my recovery, my heaviest weight was 325. That was 2 weeks ago, and I weighed in at my doctors last week and was down to 318 lbs. I dont own a scale because I was always depressed about my weight, so I dont know what I weight now.
