Hi, Im a new to this journey and want to Congratulate all of the pre(for making the decision) and post op sleevers(for sticking with your decision). I have been debating and investigating this surgery since August 2011. I was afraid and uneducated when it came to bariatric surgery. I love this ap/website because of the positive energy and honesty, Im hoping this will help guide me thru this life long transformation. FOR ALL POST OP patients, I wanted to know..what did you feel when you first woke up from surgery, what was the first thing that came to mind, how was the pain, did you cry, how long after you woke up did you start walking the track AND if you had to....would you do it again. I finally made my decision for this life long journey on July 30 2013 and started off very slow, taking my time with support groups, and spacing out my appointments only because I was so afraid and so confused. I have just been cleared by my PCP and am now awaiting my surgery date..so Im out of the dark but cant help but still wonder I jump on this forum or look at some pics on youtube and that keeps me focus and gives off positive energy..My nurse keeps telling me my feeling are normal and Im sure they are...I cant wait to feel and look healthy Hope to hear from some POST OPS
