I just had my sleeve done a few days ago. I have painful hip dysplasia which nsaids control well. I'm hoping that as the weight comes off I will have less pain. Taking it one day at a time, right now my battle is with the nausea. I think it's better to look at the big picture and how much healthier you will feel after a few months.
sounds like you will have plenty to do to keep you active for awhile! December sleevers are going to kill it just because we are dedicated and crazy enough to do this in December. Best of luck!
I think we will do great. It was one less thing for me to worry about and I feel like I'll be going into surgery at full strength. I've managed to lose about 12 lbs during the 6 month process. Headed in on the 12th with fingers crossed!
