I had surgery on May 15, 2013. Now I feel GREAT back to eating normal food and not hurting anymore. Just thought I would share the good news! Praise the Lord!

Hope all goes well!!! Congratulations on your new beginning!!!

In just a few short hours I will be on the other side. My sister just went back and I'm next on the list. Still not nervous, just anxious to get it over with.

I have psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. This causes me pain each day, and makes exercise for weight loss (I have always had to do major workouts to lose consistently) very difficult. I have begun the process to be sleeved by September. Anyone else done this procedure with an autoimmune disease? How has it improved or worsened the symptoms?
My rheumatologist tells me that the weight loss will help the medications work better (at lower doses), and my surgeon says they deal with AI issues regularly. He did say he would not put in the band, because that can exacerbate symptoms.
Thanks in advance!

So I get to the hospital at 10 am an I didnt get sleved until 3 pm because they were running behind with other surgeries. I went in the OR an thats all I remembered until I woke up at7:30 pm they said I was out for sometime but it didnt bother me because I was already sleepy an tired prior. I was suppose to stay just one night butttttttt! My blood pressurr wouldnt go down and I have severe nausea, the weird thing is nothing was coming up but air, it hurted so bad because my stomach was clinching everytime. This last all of saturday but my fluids came from the IV the doctor ordered a double dose of the nausea medicine an it still didnt work then sunday morning they switched to a different nausea medicine an then I was on my way. Im home now and feeling good, im ready although I do have this bag hanging on my side but its not a drainage bag, they said its medicine for my stomach an it gets pullef out when the ball collapse on its own. I had it from surgery date an it doesnt hurt or anything they have it in a fanny pack so its around my waist. Just letting ya know what some might go through but im super!!!! So far im getting down 3 oz an hour an im walking alot in my house....
