    journeyRN got a reaction from beba238 in anyone out there who got the surgery BEFORE ever having kids?   
    Now that time is passing so fast I'm getting nervous. I'm 24 and I haven't had children. Part of the reason I want this sleeve is because when I do get pregnant I want and hope for a healthy pregnancy.. is there anyone who has gotten pregnant after getting sleeved successfully. That didn't gain all their weight back afterwards?

    This surgery is the most exciting thing I've ever done for ME. It's been a wild ride but I've loved every single minute since I woke up in recovery!!! I had NO health issues, I'm not sure what difference that made with recovery, but I had no problems. I took pain meds only at night after I left the hospital, and only took them for ten days total. From the get go, I logged my food on line and weighed or measured my food when I'm at home. I still do this, it is habit, my normal. My new life.....and to me, it's fun. Get a disposable camera, have someone take a picture of you the night before surgery, then on your surgery 'date' every month for the first year. After the one year anniversary picture, take the camera and have it developed. Laying the pictures out, side by side and SEEING the transformation will take your breath away!!!! The most exciting thing for me is when I could see my collar bone!!!! I love to shop for clothes now, I can walk in and find cute, cute clothes, it is sooooo fun to shop now!!! Good luck!

    I too felt just like you! I am now a little over 3 months out and let me tell you, it gets better and better! I agree with NtvTxn - from the day after surgery I've never had problems and loved my sleeve. Never regretted my decision at all. I've lost 41 lbs as of today (surgery date 1/29/13). It feels so good to grab cute clothes off the rack and go! Good luck with your surgery, success is closer than you know!
