    I'm a few hours away from surgery and I guess it's still unreal to me. I'm excited but I'm not anxious or nervous. I've never been this calm before a surgery. Sending prayers to all of my April 20th fellow sleevers....

    Praying for you and good luck on your surgery

    This is one of my main goals as well. I hate wearing my CPAP. I'm hoping I'm one of the cases that can go off of it once I hit a healthy BMI, but I don't know. My surgery is on Monday morning, so I'll see you on the loser's bench very soon. Good luck on your recovery and I hope you can get off your machine even months before the year is over.

    I'm praying for you that you will get off the CPAP before next year

    I know, I was thinking about reaching onderland yesterday. Crazy isn't it? Very surreal.

    When I had all my final appointments last Monday, everyone from the anesthesiologist's nurse to my doctor's nurse, to my dietician, to my lab tech all talked the same talk, 'When you're 155...". No one said if, they all said when, because losing the majority of this weight is going to happen. I'll be honest. Up until December 21, 2016, I was ok if I died. I didn't see there was any way to lose 150-200 pounds at my age (41). I didn't want to live like this being so limited and achy all the time and I was just tired. This surgery is truly a miracle for many of us.

    I had surgery April 17 and so far it is best thing for me and I know you can do it to God luck to your new jounrey

    Hi all! I was sleeved on the 17th and got to go home on the 18th. So far, I'm very sore but feeling much better than I expected! Working on getting my fluids in. My doc wants a minimum of 40oz liquids/day this first week. It's a challenge, for sure. Good luck to everyone!

    I had mines the same day my doctor did not tell me how much to drink he told me stay Hydrated and I'm doing my best on it and tomorrow I will be on Fluid liquid diet until next week

    Thank you all for kindly responding. I did speak to my dr about it yesterday. He said it was just precautionary and he just does everything he can to prevent clots. If I don't do them most likely I'll be fine but it's more like insurance. He still suggested I do it. But if I choose not to then ok. I still feel guilty for not doing so I may to get at least a few in during the time frame. I am already very active so I know that helps. Weird thing is I'm not afraid of needles. Idk what's holding me back. I think it's trying to do it to myself. I'll see if it's easier letting my husband do it. Thanks again!

    I'm glad you are doing it because when I knee replacement I had take them for 10 days
