Finally sleeved and on the losers bench....12-12-12 is now my new birth date or at least 12-12 is....... Here's how things went: arrived at the hospital around 8:30 this morning....they immediately had me change into that weird looking gown with the butt out. A nurse then came in to ask several questions, check my sugar levels and give me a shot of lovenox to help thin the blood(hope I spelled it correctly) another nurse then came with a wheelchair and said she was taking me to the back to start my i.v. and get me ready for surgery....at that point everything became a reality and I began to cry. My husband who has been a great support told me it would be fine and reminded me of why I was doing this surgery...the i.v was started and within 15 minutes they rolled me to the operating room....now this room was freezing and there was at least 5 people with mask and scrubs preparing instruments and things of that nature.....a nurse then ask me to scoot on to the table and the anesthesiologist began telling me that he would be giving me something to calm my nerves..I asked him if that would also put me to sleep and he replied, "eventually".....lol next thing I know I was waking up in the recovery room.....I immediately ask for pain meds because it felt like menstrual cramps x2.......every since they put the pain meds in my i.v it's been smooth sailing......no nausea or gas pains and never once threw up or dry heaved.... My surgeon said I did great and there were no complications what so ever!!!!!! I give all the glory to God for such a wonderful experience and know that I'm not out of the clear yet but I trust in the lord and his greatness......if there's anyone getting the surgery soon and your scared or nervous, what I can say is that you have nothing to worry about....cast your cares on God and he will protect you.......God bless

Sleeved and feeling pretty good so far.....no gas or throwing up and most importantly hardly any pain at all...praying things continue like this......no regrets!!!!!!

I was there a month ago having headaches non stop but. It's goes away after losing 25 pds in a month. Getting compliments this is the best decision ever! I moved from a sz 20 to a 14-16 in a month! And am sure happy!

My surgery date was changed from 12-11-12 To 12-12-12........That seems to be the date of new beginnings.....Keep me in prayer please!

I am 12.12.12 too! I can't wait!

Prayers for everyone ????
I can't wait to:
Sit with my legs crossed again
Make sand castles on the beach with my teenage kids to make up for time I refused to go the local beach
Take full body shot pics
Give all of my clothes away
To hear for the first time in my life "you are thin!"
For my husband to be able to pick me up

My surgery date was changed from 12-11-12 To 12-12-12........That seems to be the date of new beginnings.....Keep me in prayer please!

Iggy Chic..looks like to me all you have done on this forum lately is try to discourage others from having this surgery and it's simply not right. Nothing you say can justify that and I WONT stand for that! If anything you owe presleevers an apology for your negativity and disgusting display of character."It wasn't worth the risks and pain","You would never do this surgery again", "You will always feel guilt about having it done"? Really? Stop it!!Stop scaring other presleevers!!!!!It gets better and you know it!!!If that's all you want to do here, find another forum! This IS NOT THE PLACE DEAR!!!!!.......................PEACE AND LOVE!!!

Hi There! I am glad I found you. I am going in on December 3rd, i have been really nervous but I am excited too because I have struggled with this dang weight too long.. I think my family may be making me more nervous than anything though.. my husband is very supportive but he is really scared about me going in.. he has to work that day but its probably good so he wont be sending me nervous vibes. My mom and brother are going to come though... so i'm sure they will make up for the nervous vibes anyway. I have faith that everything will go smoothly for both of us Hopefully we can get on here about a year later and both be at goal

well if it's supports you need you came to the right place..... this will be the date that will change our lives forever without a doubt !!! where do you currently live and where are you having your surgery ?

yaaaay us!!! December 11th will be the start of our new life!! Can't wait!! (well yes I can) lol........... Your right about complication being the exception and not the rule......well have you started your liquid diet yet and if so have you found it to be hard at all? I'm starting mine 2mar!!! All the best

Hi fellow sleevers........I will be getting sleeved on Dec 11th and to say the least, I'm scared as all hell......I'm known for canceling my surgery date and rescheduling do to complication fears.....I'm currently 240 lbs and 5'5 which is just extremely to much weight for my height. I don't have many supporters in my life and think this site is the perfect place to get support from people who really care.....I've been struggling with my weight for as long as I can remember...I'm depressed all the time and always accusing my husband of cheating because of how insecure I am with self......This has to stop!! I'm ready to get my life back and get off this damn couch......Is there anyone else having their surgery on or around Dec 11th?? Let's share our journeys and help support eachother!!!

I'm scheduled for December 11 also, and could not be more excited! You can do this, Hell.. WE can do this!! I echo what everyone else has said. While no two recoveries are identical, the complications are the exception, not the rule.

I hear ya, my date is Dec 10th. I'm super excited & scared.
