Welcome.. This place is home away from home! Sleever Friends! Here you can discuss your journey and progress about your surgery. Feel free to share... Ask ... Or even vent!

Hope all are doing well! I am 5 days out of surgery and if it were not for the numbers on the scale dropping and the little pulling in my belly if I drank too much ... I wouldn't believe that I even had surgery. Keep going all and stay encouraged! Sip, walk... Take it easy!

Good morning Sleevers!! @@Big_Mama, I'm feeling well today!! No fast heartbeats ... Down another 3lbs.. Woohoo! Tried on some new clothes last night and didn't want to take them OFF! I couldn't believe what I was looking at in the mirror. I'm going to post pictures soon. Welcome new Sleevers!

Ok ladies and gents .. Issue here.... Im having some tachycardia (fast racing heart beats) I'm not sure if it's anxiety or some real heart racing .. I called the doctor and he says if it continues to come into the ER.. Is this normal???

Yes.. Doesn't that seem too fast?? And congrats everyone!

4 days out!! 16lbs down .. I don't see it but when I out on these jeans that I loved and grow out of.. I was like O M G!!! I think I'm losing too fast????

Thanks love @@Big_Mama! I'm waiting to be discharged now. Hope all continues to go well for all of us. Take it easy!

All done! I went into surfer at 2:30, but didn't wake up fully and get to my room until almost 7pm. The pain was crazy! But once the meds started to kick in, I was all good! I've been nauseous only while standing and then it goes away. I've been walking with all these lines everywhere and using my lung breather machine. Sipping on cranberry juice (diet) it tastes the best and I hated cranberry juice before. My tummy is a little sore but manageable.. And to think I was soo afraid of this part. Everything's going swell. But the person in the room down the hall doesn't seem to be having the best time ????. Sadly I hear them throwing up , heaving and crying. So sad. I'll be praying for them just like soo many prayed for me. In the meantime ladies and gents, make sure you sip it makes you feel better and walking is awesome, it helps gets some air moving and makes you feel better and use your breathing thingy. Hopefully I'll go home later today.. But question ... Is anyone getting discharged without a leak test?? That's freaking me out. Dr said I don't need one... Hmmm Anyway good luck all! Be blessed!

Me too.... nervousssssss!

Scheduled 12/29/14...I was given my surgery date on 12/19/14 and now on a 1000 calorie diet. I was told to do this in order to shrink the liver. I'm not sure if I've done well or not. For Christmas dinner, I ate a little more than I probably should, but I'll do all liquids for the next few days. I've heard stories of the surgent going in and the liver being too big to operate, so either the patients was closed up and sent back home to lose more weight, or the surgent did a complete open procedure. I dont watn either...I'll weigh myself tomorrow. I'm a little nervous about all of it..more so going under... But I'm excited..
