I'm trying to figure out a date for sleeve surgery. The problem I'm having is scheduling. We are considering going on a cruise on June 1st. I'm looking at a surgery date of around May 9th or 10th. I can't do much before that because of a 5k that I am walking in and then my anniversary. I'd really like to be with the hubbie on our anniversary and he's going to have to stay home with the kids while I have my surgery. If I wait for the 9th that would give me 3 weeks. We tend to be pretty active and go snorkeling or scuba or horseback riding. Will I be able to get in the Water by then and will I even feel well enough to do anything?

How long after getting sleeved can I expect to get back to running? I'm not a die hard runner, more like a shuffler, but I'd like to keep up with it. If I get out of the habit I have a hard time getting back with it.

I'm a newbie here, and haven't been sleeved-yet! But I can say that I had a breast reduction and tummy tuck last year. I was a 36DD and the girls were sagging. I have to say the breast reduction was the best thing ever!!!!!!!! I can actually go around without a bra now and now be embarrassed. That being said, if you could afford the plastic surgery after, I wouldn't hesitate. I did a reduction and a lift and there was virtually no pain. Now, that being said, I did everything backward. I should have considered the sleeve then and after that had the plastics. I'm afraid I'm going to lost what I have! I didn't know about any of this stuff until recently. I am actually considering going to Mexico to get sleeved, but that is for another forum
