Hi Brittany, I would love to be your sleeve sister. I just had the sleeve last Wednesday, June 12th 2019 in Mexico. I live in Los Angeles and am so excited about the journey ahead of me.

Hey! Looking for a Sleeve Sister or even brother to talk back and forth with!
Here's a short story about me-
I was banded in 2005 when I was 15 in Tijuana by Dr. Ortiz. Over 13 years, I lost about 70 lbs but by 2018 I had gained it all back. I found Dr. Udelhofen in Cincinnati, Ohio (working under Trace Curry) and he determined my band was slipped. I had no idea, but I believe it. So he removed my band in July of 2018 and initially I wanted to get the sleeve done the same day but decided against it. I didn't want to quit smoking and quit drinking. March/April 2019 I decided I wanted to go forth with it. I stopped smoking and decided to put my alcohol consumption on hold and here I am - 2 days post-sleeve!
So far- I'm really not in pain. I feel nauseous more than I feel pain. Last night was terrible - I was in the shower taking off my dressings and got 2 of the 5 off when I felt really sick and dizzy. Thankfully, I'm staying with my parents currently since I'm single and I was able to get my Mom to help me out. But today I feel great. The only time I get any pain is when I'm sitting up out of the chair or getting out of bed.
Speaking of bed, anyone else not able to sleep through the night? I typically am a side sleeper but I can only sleep on my back right now. So I'm up practically all night until I go to the chair to sleep. How long will this last for?!
Anyone get hunger pains? I typically take a muscle spasm pill when my hunger pains start. Drinking 2 oz of Powerade zero / Water / Protein water every 30 mins.

Oh, since I'm new - How do I get one of those little goal tracker things you guys have at the bottom of your posts?~?~?

I don't know if these are strange but:
- getting on an airplane. I can fit in an airplane now but I want everyone around me to be comfortable.
- so I can throw EVERY LAST ugly fat clothing I own away!. I have clothing down to size 16 and I can not wait until I can give it ALL to goodwill and start afresh!
- to (eventually) have a boyfriend. Let's be honest, the only reason I don't is because I am fat. I do not blame men, I am not attracted to fat people either. It is a preference.
- to have sex again without a tank top on.
- to be able to clean myself better! It does make a difference.
- to shop for clothes that I actually LIKE..
- to wear a non-skirt bathing suit. maybe never a bikini but a nice one-piece or tankini would be nice!
- to prove T every one of the people talking behind my back, that I in fact can and will succeed...
I am sure there are more!
