My MD Said mine was approx. 50 minutes.

Sleeved on the 28th. Terrible nausea/dry heaves on the first night but been ok since. Having trouble getting Protein, but no probs with liquids. Hope everyone is doing well!!!

Hello, all! Surgery was a success! I had a lot of nausea the day of and the day after surgery. I came home 1/29 in the afternoon- it's good to be home! I'm trying hard to get in as much Protein as possible, but I'm scared I will overfill! So I have been sipping all day. I have also been walking around the house. Biggest issue is just exhaustion! I didn't even take a pain pill today! Anyone else who had surgery in the 28th... How are you doing?

Good Luck. Will be thinking and praying for you. Everything will be fine. When you can let us know how it went.

Good luck let us know how you did my surgery is at 11 today heading to hospital now

I am leaving for the hospital in less that two hours! I need to arrive at 7:15 and VSG is scheduled for 9:45. The butterflies in my stomach have arrived... But I am SOOO excited!

Good luck today!!! Everything is going to be fine!! It's the first day of the rest of your life!!

My sleeve is Jan 28th... Only five days away! I would love to be part of the group.

Welcome Hmv1978.......... yes we can all share our experiences.....what we can and cant eat..and of course before and after pics! Do you have to self inject the night before? I do...aswell as tablets...mainly blood thinbers...anti sickness tablets....once that needle goes into my belly..i will get more excited!

Mi e is 26th and I have been agonizing too. But I have decided to be afraid and then do it anyway!

I'm Jan 26 and also pretty nervous, but the way I see it, it's now or in a few years when stuff has gotten worse. This is a super hard decision, of course, but it's going to be OK.

If we are being honest - then yes. Sometimes I do.
When I want to drink some frozen adult beverages but cannot due to my drastically smaller stomach.
When I haven't eaten all day, I cook some good stuff or go to my favorite restaurant and I can only eat a few bites when I really want about 8 bites.
When i want to gulp down some iced tea because I'm very thirsty and I have to take slow small sips because I can't hold it all at once.
When I want some delicious stuffed jalapeno peppers and tequila based drinks and I can eat ONE pepper and drink a third of my drink.
When do I not regret it? When I get on the scale, when I notice how good I feel most of the time, and when I notice that people don't comment on my weight loss but I see them looking at me with a hint of jealousy on their face. Booyah.

I'm a little under 15 lbs from my ultimate goal, but after buying new clothes for spring I decided I had to show them off!

I'm rockin' the sleeve! Best decision I ever made for myself!

One week from now (Jan 28th) is my surgery and I'm totally freaking out! I've been patiently waiting for almost a year for this and now that it's here I can't stop myself from second guessing everything. I've come to realize, with major help from this awful 2 week liver shrinking liquid diet, that my addiction to food is real and the thought of ending my relationship with its comfort is absolutely terrifying. I feel like I'm trying to convince some part of myself that I don't need the surgery and that I can do it without this tool. Has anyone gone through this, or am I just over thinking and analyzing this way too much?
