I was sleeved 12/10 & have lost 16# since surgery! I'm in some pain but the weight loss makes up for it.

i was nervous too, but everything went great for me this past week. i'll be praying that the same happens for you.

Horror stories help keep you on the straight & narrow....I'm thankful for them. And so far all is well with me at 5 days postop.

I was released because I was doing so well. Been home since 1:30pm yesterday. Went for 30 minute walk alone didn't struggle. Sipping on 1/4 cup broth now. Before I was only taking in Water & Isopure. Soup went well, will try Jello next.

Well surgery went off without a hitch. Woke up in alot of pain though. Wasn't able to drink much on the first day but i did manage to have 2 Popsicles. They took out my drain this morning and that made me feel alot better. Took the pressure off my abdomen. Had my shower and have been doing good on my walking this morning. They say i should be able to go home after lunch.< /p>

Well its finally that time. Packed and ready to head to the hospital. My nerves are actually not that bad this morning, very surprised about that. I guess this is the first day of the rest of my life. Ready to get healthy!! I will keep you all updated.

Congrats!!!! I'm actually only 5days post-op myself. The anesthesia is like you close your eyes then you wake up. Doesn't seem like no time has past at all. You'll do great!!!

Tomorrow is sleeve day, I have to be at the hospital at 8am. My nerves along with this cleanse is a hot mess.

Surgery is done. Everything went well. No too much pain just a lot of nausea and I have the dry heaves .

Yes, I was able to work full days with no problems. I'm a middle school teacher so I was able to sit and take breaks throughout the day. I haven't taken a sick days yet.....things have been good!

Today is my day too. I am getting ready to head tote hospital in about 10 minutes. My stomach is feeling yucky due to the prep and antibiotics my doc puts you on the day before surgery.

Its my time!Dec 4,2012 452am sitting in the lobby of the hospital waiting. Scheduled to be here at 530 over excited n nervous. Ill keep you guys posted. Please pray for a safe surgery and recovery, Thanks my fellow sleevers

Congratulations!!!

Congratulations!!!

Hi all...had my sleeve on 9/10/12...and now 12 weeks out I have offically passed 50 lbs. down. Whoo hoo!!!
270 lb-217.8

Ok..for me this was a very cool NSV. So I was helping my hubby with outside lights for Christmas on the house...up and down all day..in and out of the attic I went and before long..all the lights were up and everything looked great..as my hubby and I were chatting in bed after a long days work...I realized..man I got up in the attic...like 10 xs and not once did I stop to think....I have to rest a second..I am out of breath....is this ladder going to hold me..oooopppsss..turn sideways because your fat behind won't fit in the square hole in the ceiling...get your balance..don't fall..you can't lift that box and go down the ladder at the same time because you can't fit....nope..none of that crossed my mind..because I could do all of that without thought..in fact..I went up in the attic just because I damn well could...stood up and about wept because it has been years since I could do that...just go up there because I could..thank you sleeve..you are a life changer!

Mine was an inspirtation. A friend of mine (and past diet buddy) ran the NY Marathon. She had been around the same weight as I was and had bypass surgery about four years ago. I had always marveled at her weight loss, and even met with her several times to discuss the surgery. I kept thinking I would try to do it on my own, rather than undergo something so drastic. Well now, here I was at my highest weight ever, feeling tired, disgusting and miserable, and there she was running a MARATHON!! That was when I decided I had put my life on hold long enough and immediately started steps to get the surgery. It took me nine months from that decision to the actual proceedure, but now I am finally on my way to being a happy healthy person like she is. I do not really see the NY marathon in my future (I hate to run and always have, even when I was thin) but who knows. Either way, I know now that the future now looks bright for me and I will have my own "marathon" moments as a new, healthier, lighter me!

The day is getting closer and closer . Tomorrow is preop day and Tuesday morning is surgery
