I finally got sleeved today... I'm laying in the hospital bed and I'm like still in denial lol. My process ended up being over a year long but I'm finally here. I'm so excited to start my journey. When I first woke up from surgery my initial thought was wth did I do to myself. But now I'm feeling pretty good and ready to kick butt!!

Glad you are doing okay... How are you doing getting your liquids in. I'm having a very hard time. I just have no desire for anything

Thanks everyone

Congrats to you also... Same here just the gas pain is uncomfortable but other than that not really in any pain

Thanks!!

I wish I was passing gas lol I haven't yet

I was discharged last night and oh boy for the first time I passed gas and have been since. I took everyone's advice and took the gas x and it's working wonders for me. You should try them. Hope you have a speedy recovery. I actually have some in my bag so I'm going to take some hopefully it works.

I've never wanted to pass gas so much in my life lol surgery yesterday and I haven't passed gas yet.

I'm also nervous about when it's time for me to go back to work. I'll be on pureeds and no one at work knows I'm having surgery.

Thanks!

I'm actually feeling pretty good better than I imagined. Other than the gas I really don't have any pain.

Great job... I was sleeved today.... Looking forward to the future

Had surgery this morning everything went well... Other than gas I'm not feeling any pain. Hope everyone is doing okay

Had surgery this morning... The gas is definitely the worst part... Hope everyone is doing fine

Thanks

@@amalie1684 Thanks

My surgery is tomorrow and I'm a nervous wreck.

Mine was pretty simple. I was really nervous about it, but when it was finished I was like that's it lol. To me they basically want to make sure you understand its a life change and that you understand the surgery.

Congrats

I'm also scheduled for the 22nd and I'm very nervous too... I'm pretty sure it's normal.

Being able to shop for clothes any where and not having to ask if they have a plus size section. Not having to worry about fitting in a chair comfortably or a booth in a restaurant.

Good luck!

So I've read through the booklet I got from my surgeon's office and I feel like they're program advances faster than what I've read on here. It says I can go back to regular food 4-6 weeks out. I know every doctor is different but it just seems kind of fast.

Wow that seems like a long Program... No regular food till 4 months... Which stage are you currently on?

I finally got my approval today. I have been going through this process for almost a year now and have been fighting with my insurance company for about 7 months. I was denied by Aetna 3 times and my case went through the external review which I found out today that I won. I hired Lindstrom Obesity Advocacy and they were great. I can't wait to get a date and finally be apart of the losers bench. I feel like I'm getting a second chance at life. For all those having a hard time getting approved DO NOT GIVE UP.
