I'm starting to pack! Wednesday 12/16 I'm first up on the surgery roster. I am going to a center of excellence, and will there overnight.
This should be different than past hospital stays, but I'm thinking in a good way. Less of that other stuff I don't really need, and more of this stuff (I can focus more on the sleeve recovery). Heck, they don't even have a TV but I find that is perfect. I figure I'll be walking, sipping, or sleeping.
I have faith in God, in the surgeon, myself, my family support, and the timing of this. It's not going to be easy, but it will be worth it - I have no doubt.

Good luck everyone getting sleeved this week. I go in for my nutritional appointment and final consent/lab work Thursday. Surgery is set for 12/28 @ University of Penn.
How is everyone newly sleeved feeling?

Dec 14. The liquid diet is for the birds. I'm getting use to it. I just have to make it through one family dinner this weekend. Good luck!

I am friending everyone who is having surgery the same week as me so that I can follow progress... We will definitely have to stay in touch through the coming weeks. It is going to be interesting.

Hi all! It's been about 8 hours since surgery and I'm feeling great. I highly recommend taking advantage of any pain meds they offer in the hospital, because what I assumed was gas pain responded to thwm. I've been up walking and using the restroom and I should be going home tomorrow. Yay!

Hi Everyone, there are about twenty of us who were sleeved on December 8th and we are all doing fine. Only one in our group had to stay a little longer due to not clotting and needing a transfusion. I am a little surprised at how "bad" I feel but I'm 63 so I guess I'm healing a bit slower. I also have had three surgeries in two months (lap and erosion) so my body is worn out. BUT I am doing fine and progressing everyday. Tolerating my puréed and creamy foods just fine. So, I said all that to say you're all going to be fine and just sink into the process. It's not a walk in the park, but each day brings a step towards "better."
