I am home from my surgery! It was so much better than I expected. I am so happy and amazed I feel so good. It could be that I'm still full of pain meds. Lol I did opt for the pain block from my anesthesiologist...Highly recommended! I was up walking around 15 minutes after coming back to my room. I did not have to stay the night in the hospital. I had a successful swallow test, which allowed me to see my new smaller stomach. So far everything is great! I hope everyone feels this good! Stats: 258 start start 244 surgery day (10 day liquid diet)

Thanks Magsqoti! What a nice message. I am so happy to hear someone that is doing well so fast. I had my lapband done on a Thursday and was back to work on Monday. I am hoping I bounce back this time also. Nerves are setting in, but your post has given me a little hope that it's possible I won't be in massive pain.

We are all strong and beautiful! We can do this and we have made the choice to do so! I am so excited for so many things. I know...because I've been there...a healthy weight really feels better to me than a cheeseburger tastes. I just need to remind myself of that on a daily basis. We are all going to be so happy and healthy in time. Here's to smaller clothes and bigger smiles!

Hello, my emotions are going crazy here. I will have my surgery on April 27th! Super excited but also very scared. I had the lapband from 2010-2014, until it slipped. I had to have it removed. I was so sad because i had lost all the weight and wearing a size 8. Since September I gave gained 50 pounds and I am ashamed. I literally won't go see my friends because I do not want to be seen like this. It's hard. I am anxious to get back on track and feel better about myself. I hear so many different things about recovery with this surgery. A lady I work with said she was back to work in 4 days. then I read it can take up to 2 weeks. I am blessed to work from home, so hopefully I will bounce back quickly. I am also scared of failing...Again! I am not overweight because I did well on my own...I have always struggled. I am looking forward to this.

Hi Debbie! I'm new here too and my sleeve surgery is the same day, April 27th. I have the same nerves and thoughts. I am scared, yet excited for a healthy, active life. I hope it is everything I am hoping for in the long run. Good luck and wishes to you on your day! We will do great!
