That's awesome! I was sleeved on the 2/25 and I am about 9lbs behind you. 31 and counting! SW- 250 CW-225 what had been your exercise routine? And I agree best decision I have made!

I am a 25th sleever how do you get on the FB group??

I am. I was sleeved on 2/25 and doing great. I have lost 16lbs since surgery. 22 in all. Right now I am stalled but read its common week three. How about you?

You look fabulous!!

Congrats! I am doing great too. Pain is minimal and waiting for those sharp gas pains..absent come yet. I had trouble sleeping by just caught a few after the Benadryl (got the itch using morphine) wishing continued success and comfort!

My surgery is tomorrow and I am so nervous but it brings me a lot of comfort reading these stories.

Thank you and good luck on Monday here's to a healthier us!

Hi All - scheduled for surgery on Feb 25th. So nervous, it doesn't help that that the tech that drew up my labs for surgery this morning asked me why I would be getting a sleeve. That I was not "that fat" and he thought I was beautiful as is. Well I burst into tears the minute I walked out of the hospital.. I am scared I am not doing the right thing, maybe I haven't tried hard enough. But the truth is I have been battling obeisty since I was little. I have "bigger" bones so I do "hide" my weight well. I have three young kids am I being selfish doing this?? I am 5'6 250; no comorbidities but have struggled with my weight all my life. My nurse friends now have me freaked out about the risks so my head is not in a good place 48 hours before surgery. Help - I need a pep talk!

I just got my date of March 4th. Super excited! (And nervous)
