That's awesome, congratulations!

Hi guys I did it! Everything went well I have no drain, and no catheter. I feel a bit on discomfort but nothing mayor the doctor had to fix two hernia plus the sleeve . I just Walked for a few minute then felt really nauseous:( . Hope that goes away soon. I spent 9 months with nausea due to my last pregnancy its was horrible. Thanks for all the get well wishes.

hey everyone! Thanks for the support! I was sleeved at about 9am yesterday 10/01/14.... I'm doing great! Being that I had no sense of time I asked to get up and walk about an hour or 2 after being taken into my room from recovery. I walked up and down the halls about 4 times and then got back in my bed ... I asked for pain meds once because my one incision was and is still in pain but that is all. Out of all 5 incisions the far right one is the most tender and the gas pain is ridiculous!! I've been walking a lot ... Way more than anyone else who was in there with me but I still can't seem to get relief from the gas pain! I've been home since 1pm and took a Tylenol since then and that's it .. No pain meds that were prescribed to me at all!

Okay you awesome sleevers ! Here's a list of everyone who posted their surgery date and their location. Lots of people on the same days ! If any of the data is a mistake, let me know. We can also tag those we haven't heard from on the 1st or 2nd and see how they are doing.

I can totally relate to what you're experiencing. I have a few co-workers that are treating me different. I consider them my friends so I decided to inform them of my surgery. They're not talking to me but I'm not going to let it bother me. I think more of this will come has I get further along in my journey.

Well I'm officially sleeved!!!! Everyone here has been wonderful. Very kind and incredibly knowledgeable. Kinda went in or, they gave me something to make me sleepy before anesthesia and well I woke up 4 hours later when they wheeled me back into my room. Those 4 hours for me felt like 10 minutes. Within 1/2 hour I went for my first walk. No Water or anything for me for 24 hours but I am not hungry at all. Thats a first ha ha. No pain what so ever, I am sure later on today since its Friday now I might be sore but I will take it. What a journey, I am so glad it has begun. I am excited to hear from everyone who has gone in the last few days and sending best wishes to those of you coming up.

Hey everyone, hope everyone is doing well with pre-op diet if you had to be on one. Okay guys I don't know what to do with myself because I'm so excited lol. I have 4 days until surgery day , wow I can't believe it but I wish it was tomorrow. I know some of you can relate.

I have Oct 7th surgery date. I am not scared at all... Just frickin' excited!! I am trying to take off 6-8 weeks. Even if I take vacation on top of medical. Just want to relax and get in a good routine.

Congratulations to you, wishing you the best!

Hi all, I'm getting sleeved on Tuesday 7 October as well. Pre op prep is going well. I'm finding the shakes good and that my hunger is under control.
I have told my mum, but she doesn't want me yo have it done, she is just worried about the surgery really, once she sees the benefit to me she will be glad for me.
I'm starting to get nervous about the surgery, but will be find.
My starting weight was 114kgs which is 250p. My first goal is getting to 100kgs, hopefully by Christmas.

Had my sleeve done today. In pain but im alive

This is my 7th day on low carb pre-op diet. Yesterday was tough because it was the 1st day I was home all day. I was in out of the kitchen preparing Breakfast, lunch, and dinner for my children. At one point I thought I was going to give in but I pushed through. I'm so thankful I'm not having headaches at this point. October 7th sleevers we have 7 days remaining ! Wow, my excitement is continuing to grow. This week will go by quickly. For those of you getting sleeved this week congratulations and i wish you a speedy recovery!

Hey everyone, I know we have an October thread but I wanted to create one specifically for those of us being sleeved on next Monday and Tuesday. I think it would be awesome for us to support each other and actually follow each other post-op.
I'm being sleeved on Tuesday, October 7th! Wow still can't believe I have 6 days remaining. I'm not nervous at all just excited and ready to start my journey. My husband thinks something is wrong with me because I'm not nervous lol.
Like many of you I've been battling my weight since childhood. I'm 35 years old with a BMI of 44 and 5 months ago I said no more diet pills and no more starving myself for only a 10 lbs lost. I've never been below 200 lbs. in my adult hood.
Guys I told my mom yesterday and now I'm regretting it. Her response was the following "why don't you just diet" . I couldn't believe it, I absolutely could not believe it. Anyway I had to brush that off very quickly and continue my conversation with my mom without exposing my true feelings. I'm not discouraged just wishing I wouldn't had sad anything.
I'm moving forward, all my thoughts are centered around Tuesday morning. I wish all of you the best and please keep each other lifted up pre and post op.

Congratulations!!!

I am Oct. 7th also.

Thanks everyone, I'm recovering well..a little pain in the admiral area, but tolerable!

I am normally not one to post and run.. and I read everyone's posts.. but this is an exception....
I just found out I"m Approved and I'll have surgery on October 14th !!!!!!!!
I"m dumbfounded a bit... I can't believe this is really happening. I know most of you are feeling that way too !!
I wil read up on posts later today. LETS GO OCTOBER SLEEVERS !!!!!!!!!!

Woooooo hoooooo!!! I'm about 4 hrs post op and feeling pretty good. Just a little uncomfortable, but no bad pain, as of yet.

Thank you everyone for the feed back, I will be thinking about all this as I am going in for surgery tomorrow. I have decided to go ahead and follow through with the surgery seeing how I feel so much better being 44 lbs lighter already.... Not going to lie, I am scared as hell and still feel extremely guilty, but I am hoping those feelings will fade away after I wake up in recovery tomorrow afternoon!
