Getting ready to leave for the hospital in a little bit, I am excited and nervous! I will talk with you guys on the other side! Good luck and many prayers for all the Sleevers today!

good luck!! i'll be in your shoes tomorrow morning! if you're able to post later, let us know how it went!

jdillon I love your positive attitude!

I remember the fear like it was yesterday..but it was so worth it!

Cherie, I am praying for you. I wish I knew what to tell you, but I have not heard of this problem. If it gets worse during the night, I would go to the ER in case you need fluids. Bless you!

Prayers heading your way...

I would like to truly thank everyone for your warm wishes and prayers. Today was an up and down day with plenty of self-doubt, not about having my sleeve, but the 'what if's...glad it is evening and moving towards bed time!
i will be signing off soon and I promise I will log on as soon as I can with a new thread to update my experience.
thanks again!

We've all been there or are going to be there and know what you are going through. So many who have been through this and are months out even years out are so happy now and do not regret this decision. As I near closer to my surgery day these are the people I depend on to help me deal with my fears and uneasiness. You're going to be fine and in one month when I'm on here posting how my surgery is a day away and I'm scared you will be here telling me how you're a month out and lbs down and feeling great and how worth it this all is. Close your eyes relax and you'll wake up to your beginning to a new life.

Tomorrow is my day to good luck hope all goes well I'm getting nervous I'm in this alone husband not very supportive

Praying that all goes smoothly for you!

Now that's funny! Love it.

Blessings to the 3 of you having surgery tomorrow. Keep visualizing a positive outcome. I believe with you for the same. ((((((Group hug))))))

I feel the same way. I thought at the beginning of this 2 week pre-op diet the day would never come. Now my surgery day is tomorrow too. I am getting very nervous and I have had my battles over the last 2 weeks, but for the most part it was easier than I though it would be. I will be thinking about everyone that is having their surgery this week. It so nice to know that this forum exists to be able to read and have support. Good Luck to everyone tomorrow!

Good luck to all of you having surgery tomorrow! Here's hoping for smooth sailing on your way to a healthy new you. Planning on joining you on the losers bench next month.

Thank you! I am happy for you. We are doing what we know is the right thing to do! On the count of 1, 2, 3...SCREAM! YAY!

Woohoo! You look fantastic!

Hi there....my first check in here though I've posted elsewhere.

Sleeved on 6/17 and doing much better than I expected I would be. Pain is nill and no painkillers since the afternoon of 6/18. Trying to stay active with walking the first few days and hopped on my bike for a 10 mile ride today. Want to get metabolism going!

Diet is.yogurt, cottage cheese, protein shakes, and homemade broth. Trying to get at least 60 grams of Protein. Liquids are Water, G2, and diluted apple juice. Might try some puréed food today and have been checking out recipes.< br />
Wish I would have fpund this board pre-op...lots of great people and support here!

Cheers!

Wow how exciting. Don't be nervous or scared. We're all with you. Let us know how you're doing when you get out of surgery. God bless you all! Mines in a month and I'll be reading all that you guys share to help me get ready and mentally prepare .

I am the same day as you.

My prayers are with you.

OMG. I'm so glad I'm not the only one with the pre op jitters. Good luck to all the upcoming surgeries. I'm a much better nurse than patient. If one more skinny person tells me I should "try" eating less and exercising more instead of having surgery- I just may scream.

Prayers for all three of you having the surgery over the next couple of days. Let us know how you all are afterwards!

Best of luck to you!! Please let us know how you're doing afterwards!!

thank you to everybody for your kind words!
I am ready for this change, and there's no overwhelming feeling or anything, I just want everything to go smoothly and without incident.
today cannot go fast enough, and truthfully i just want it to be over with!

Good luck you'll do great!! Sending positive thoughts and prayers!! My day is 8/13 unless they have a cancellation sooner..
