Hey 1 year - crazy huh! I didn’t quite make my goal- but way better than I was a year ago,, down 87lbs - how about you? How are you doing? Amazing how life has changed in 1 year- it’s been Ana awesome journey! Let me know how your doing?

I had my sleeve done on 8/1/17 and I am so tired. Anyone know when we should start getting some energy back? I go to a store and I swear I hit the wall and want to take a nap. I'm going back to work tomorrow after having 2 weeks off and am wondering how am I ever gonna make the day? Thanks in advance.

Yes you do!!!! You will feel so much better afterwards!!

It's very normal to be nervous. I had mine done last tues 8/1. Everything was ok for me. Just remember to keep your eye on the prize. My family was more nervous than me. You will hVe some discomfort and they will give you pain meds. You'll be great!! Keep us posted.

You can buy it anywhere. I think we got it at Walmart. It's children's but it works great.

Thank you for posting this, I had my surgery on Tuesday and am working hard on the fluids. I feel like I'm on an emotional roller coaster and although I knew this messes with your hormones I didn't expect the crying foe no reason. I find my brain is telling me I'm starving myself as all I'm doing is protein shakes and water. I have to talk myself off that anxiety train foe sure. Thank you foe posting this as it does help me feel better, so glad to know I'm not alone in this.

Liquid Tylenol I was told no more Motrin.

Just wondering if anyone lives in MA? Would be interested in being sleeve buddies.

Aug 24!! Awesome!! Your gonna do great!! In aug 1 so I can give you all the post op tips

So far out of pocket foe me has been $500. I don't know what it will be with the insurance.

Angie - I love the calendar!!! Your scheduled day before me!! Aug 1 foe me! Good luck and keep in touch! Love a new sleeve buddy. Can't get enough support

I was also told you can loose weight. They actually encourage it. My office also said they use my starting weight so any weight loss won't count against me.

I read your story,, I'm so sorry you had to go through so many hoops to get here. I hope you continue to make progress and get your scheduled date soon! Please keep in touch. Feel free to send me a message anytime.

Thank you so much seamehyde!! I am scheduled aug 1 and will definitely be picking these up! Thank you foe the tip!! I heard the first 4 days post op suck. Then it will begin to get a little better.

I also did a seminar. They gave us all the information, I needed to contact my ins co make sure this was covered, get a letter from my pcp and meet the surgeon. There office has been great. You will see a dietician, (I saw mine a few times) have a psychologist meeting and then your ready. Research everything you can and just know this is YOUR choice no one else's. this is a commitment we all need to make personally. Know it's scary as anything (my surgery is scheduled aug 1) but I feel ready. Good luck in whatever you choose!
