Dec 4th for me anyone else in December?

Accepting responsibility for myself seems to be a daily challenge, group therapy with other sleevers and 'buddies' have been helpful and sometimes inspirational.

It isn't easy to take resposibility for youself, and your own well-being, I have made some progress by sharing my feelings with other sleevers, and now feel that wls is not a cure but that it has has given me an improved opportunity for well-being. The alternatives for me were to become increasingly less able, and accept the prospect of a very early death.

10 days post op, seems to have gone like a dream, totally painless, best advice in hospital - take very small sips, best advice from forums - walk, walk, walk.

Sleeved on the 4th Dec, a totally painless experience, 4th day home and blood sugar seems to be stable around 6.5 unmedicated, it is early yet but feels great, not really interested in food, but i do enjoy the liquids. I have had type 2 since 2007 so it looks good atm. Best advice i had was from another sleeved patient who advised me to take only half-teaspoon sized sips after the op. Best advice from the forum was to walk, walk, walk. All good wishes to those about to start.
