  1. You are definitely not alone! Just see all the positive people cheering us on in this forum. I had a lapband removed and a sleeve yesterday. Waiting was definitely worse than the surgery! I am happy with the decision and will never regret. I lost 80 pounds on the band but I could not keep solid food down. It just stopped working. The sleeve is a better option in my opinion. I lost 22 pounds before the surgery doing Zumba and Mixxed fit classes. I recommend that it is soooo much fun. Congrats on your decision and we can't wait to see the new healthier you!!
  2. Oh I'm so sorry to hear this. I had my surgery yesterday morning with no issues. Your body is not happy with anesthetic medication. It will pass.. Even though it's tough walk walk and sip. Warm peppermint tea ( no caffeine) might help? No matter what you made a great decision and it can only get better from here!!!! ????????????????
  3. I just had my surgery yesterday. I can relate to being nervous. It was done and in recovery before I could say boo. I'm home and sticking to the plan. I couldn't be happier. I'm so excited for you! The new you! Yah!!!
  4. I am one day out , looks like my surgery was less than 24 hours after yours. Monitor the pain ... Take any pain meds they gave you and walk walk walk and sip sip sip. I had a lapband removed, hernia repaired and sleeved. Walking seriously has helped. They inject a lot of air in your torso to do the surgery so walk to get rid of that. Also remember you have a major alteration to your stomach. Be careful And baby it for a few weeks. You will be so happy 2 weeks from now when you see how fast you are melting!! ????
  5. Best decision ever. It's all great from here . On to a healthier leaner meaner us! Congratulations. I was one day ahead of you and regret nothing
