The unknown scares the heck out of me! I just keep filling myself with positivity thought and telling myself that everything will be okay and I'll do just fine. We both know that not everything will be rainbows and bunnies, but it won't be forever unlike our current situation if you know what I mean lol

My surgery is scheduled for Monday (3/16) at 11:30am. I am very excited with a touch of nervousness. I am glad I found this site as I will need support.

Hello Everyone,
Hope everyone is home and doing well. I can say the surgery went well, my problems began the next day. I had breast cancer a year ago and with that I only have one arm they can use for blood pressure, ivs and taken blood. I was dehydrated making it difficult to have blood drawn, but after the 4th try and no go I was getting nauseous. Not a good combo when they send you down to have the test to determine if there was any leakage. Thankfully after a bit of anti-nausea meds, some pin killers and a nap, I was able to go home at 4:30 last night.
I'm feeling good this morning trying to get in some Protein and any other liquids I can.

Hello ladies I've been home since 3pm, I came home and all I did was sleep! The pain medicine they had me on was way to strong for me and I couldn't sleep so that couple of hours was the best sleep I've had since surgery. My husband bless his heart is helping out so much but has to go back to work tomorrow. I'll have both kids with me. It makes me so sad to not be able to cuddle them as usual but I know this will pass. We have to force ourselves to take it easy and not do too much. My grandma will be coming over to help with my kids tomorrow....I'm so happy to see you all on the other side and doing well. This is just the beginning but the pain will ease and soon we'll be back to normal <3

I replied to you earlier but my phone didn't post :/ hopefully u made it to the hospital and are doing well!

My surgery date is for March 16 at 11:30am. I am so excited to get all this weight off but nervous at the same time. So far the pre-op diet has been okay. I cut out soda January 1st, Ice cream a few weeks ago and Protein Shakes have been good. Im nervous to get past the first few weeks of the unknown. I understand there will be pain, gas and discomfort, but I hope things go smoothly and tolerable.

I'm about to leave myself for the hospital. I've spent the morning cleaning just trying to keep myself busy and off the fact that I'm a bit hungry and would love a cup of tea. Best of Luck to you!

Congrats yall! Can't wait to see posts tomorrow after you're in recovery! Let us know how it goes. My surgery is on the 25th so I'm not too far behind you!

I certainly know how anxious and scared you must be. I had sleeve on Feb 25th and have done very well. I am still on puréed food but will advance to soft in 10 more days. I will say a prayer for all those going to surgery tomorrow.

My sleeve is tomorrow, March 16! I'm nervous, excited and scared but at the same time relieved to be taking this step in the right direction. I need to get my life under control. I am a 1 year survivor of breast cancer, single mom to a great young man and want to be healthier and keep the cancer away so I can be around to watch my son grow up.
I am just about packed, food shopping is done and laundry is underway. Best of luck to all the Sleevers tomorrow! I hope you will be seeing a little less of me everyday (weight that is).

Hey everyone! Glad to hear ya'll are doing good and keeping busy! And update on me: Enjoyed my last high Protein meal last night..Ive been drinking my orange Isopure since 8am and I haven't even finished half of it. I'm trying to get as much Water in as possible. Having to make food for my family is harder on only liquids, but I'm managing well the hardest part for me aside from only liquids is not drinking after midnight or in the morning and not letting my nerves prevent sleep!

I'm nervous, excited, so many emotions! I'm 25, married, and have two little girls that are 4 and 2 1/2 months old. This will be my first surgery ever, I've never been put under for anything so It will be an experience! This has been a very private event for me so having others who are going through the same thing, at the same time would be awesome.
I'm ready to do work! ????????
