Hey everybody! I just got sleeved on December 12th. Just found this place and am getting some good info and looking forward to hearing other people's experiences and ideas throughout this new journey.

My surgery was yesterday lots of gas pain but have Not gotten sick at all. They started me on zofran before they did the test

WOO WHOO! today is surgery day. The count dawn begins.

Surgery was at 730 this morning! I've slept most of the day. Had some nausea but nothing the meds wouldn't take care of. Been sipping Water and eating ice chips. Pain meds have kept pain under control. Gas pain has been the worse out of the three, but walking and moving around does wonders! Honestly feeling really good and happy! Hope this eases some minds of those who may be nervous! We got this!!

I live 3 hours from where I'm getting my surgery. I have a pre surgery appt tomorrow afternoon then surgery on Tuesday. So we are leaving tomorrow morning and staying in a hotel then surgery! I can't believe its here! I'm super excited..right now anyways. I go back and forth between nervous and excited. I've stuck to the clear liquid diet religiously, so surely I can do this!!

Dec 10th! First thing in the morning.

Mine's the 11th too! I'm nervous also, but we got this!!!!!

I was only nauseous when I woke up the day after surgery but I had a lot of pain that morning and a throbbing headache. We attributed it to that because the phenergan in combo with the pain meds squashed that cold. I haven't been nauseous since. I am burping a LOT though and things sometimes feel stuck for a minute or two in my esophagus but nothing too terrible.

We'll have to stay in touch! Good luck!

My surgery date is Dec. 11. Was curious how you have been doing the first few days after surgery! Hope your doing great!

Yes, I start the liquid diet on Dec 4th!

NERVOUS! EXCITED! NERVOUS! Starting my liquid diet on Tuesday the 4th and surgery is the 11th!

My surgery is the 11th! I'm with you. I've only told my husband, kids and mother. I'm super afraid of the negativity that I will have to face. I've talked with some of my friends about having this surgery in the past and they talked me out of it. Since then I've gained 10 lbs. That was just in February! I'm too nervous to approach them again. I'm doing this for me!! I don't think they understand how hard it is for someone who has weight issues. I don't know...I just hope I get the love and support I need from others if not from them! Good luck to both of you!!!

❤️❤️❤️ my surgery is the 14th and I’ve been all over the place emotionally. I have doubted my decision, thought it was the greatest idea ever, almost convinced myself I could lose the weight without surgery (because the other 300 times don’t count), and right now I’ve settled on the emotions of who’s going to do everything around my house while I’m healing and can’t. No one seems to be able to find their own heads let alone do the vast amount of chores/responsibilities that I have. You are not alone and we will support you. I haven’t told anyone other than my mother, husband, and 2 of my older children. I am not sure how to handle negative comments so I’m not opening myself up to them before surgery.
