I had my pre-op and last visit with my doctor today. Thank God, everything went well, I'm ready!!!! My date is next Tuesday...Wow, that sounds good. March 12th can't come to soon for me. My prayers are with all my brother and sister sleevers, I love and wish each one of you a speedy recovery.

I just got sleeved on Monday

I use the propel packets they are propel zero no sugar no carbs and taste great

Glad your feeling ok! Keep us posted. I'm going in tomorrow morning and I'm do nervous. Wishing you a speedy recovery

I'm sleeved! Feeling a little sleepy but hardly and pain so far.

Hey guys been reading all the posts, I keep feeling sick though - sick with nerves and sick with excitement.
Op is 3wks today and I start preop diet (low fat/carb) in 1wks time. I am so nervous about trying to follow that never mind the op!
Good luck to everyone going under the knife today/tomorrow. Get back quick and tell us how it feels to be on the other side.
Big hugs everyone gilx

Up and can't sleep. Nervous. My surgery is in 4 hours. I pray everything goes well. Good luck to everyone having surgery today!

Tomorrow is my BIG DAY!! Please pray for me. I am in Atlanta!! See y'all on the other side...NEW LIFE!!

I have been drinking Propel flavored (non carbonated) Water. You can get it by the case at Sams Club and in the case it has 3 flavors, like berry, grape, etc. BUT, it's not red or purple, it's clear, so it's perfect for the 3 days before and the first week after, not to mention a good way to get down 64 oz of fluids daily. Tastes fairly good, especially if very cold, so use some ice. It's very refreshing, too.

Oh yeah! got my surgery time for tomorrow. Im going in at 9 am but gotta be there at 7 am. I can wait to start this journey. Im not nervous or scared anymore, more like super excited. Good luck to the 4ths and to the 5ths.

Hey you guys, I was sleeved on the 1st it is now two days after and I'm still pretty sore. Just remembering to sip, sip , sip.... or you get sick lol I'm glad its over and it will be a lot better in a couple more days but you will sore. Just remember to get up and walk as soon as you can to help with the gas pain. Its been nice to sip apple juice, and Water but just sip. Your sleeve is so swollen if you drink a lot at a time it will just come back up or cause chest pain remember to take it slow, good luck to all of those sleevers on the 4th and the rest of the month.

Really depends on your job. I felt I could return in a week.

I took off two weeks and it was plenty. I probably could have gone back after a week. I was able to use sick leave, so I didn't have to use any vacation.
