elizabeth having the sleeve

Congratulations!! I had mine August 16. 2021. I had the sleeve. Was only in hospital 25 hours, I am 69 years young. Full liquids out of hospital, today I ate a soft boiled egg. Ate about 3/4 of it. Tolerated well. I too was so nervous, almost backed out. 7 days past surgery. Down 12 pounds. Hard time drinking Protein Drinks, going to look for some clear liquid tomorrow. Good luck to you, I am so glad I did it! Longer life, better quality of life ahead!

Hi I am 69 turning 70 in December. I just had sleeve done 2 weeks ago. First 5 days were challenging but not bad. 2 weeks post op today. Have lost 17 lbs since surgery starting weight day of surgery 288. This morning 271. Best decision I ever made. Barely taking any diabetes meds. B/p meds cut in half. Good luck to you! Your not to old to live a longer life with quality of life🤗

Awesome thanks

I had sleeve 8/16/21. I too was nervous, almost canceled, but so glad I did it. Longer life, quality of life. Have lost 11 pounds since surgery. Some gas pain. Gas x chewable mint helped a lot, plus walking. Went home 25 hours later. Looking forward to full liquids tomorrow. Good luck. Worth it.

Congratulations, awesome!

I had mine August 16. Feeling pretty good. Had gas first few days. Lost 11 pounds since Monday. I too felt nervous. Kept thinking I-may cancel. So glad I had it done. No appetite after surgery. Drinking Gatorade zero. chicken Soup Protein Drinks. Jello. Smart Water. Good luck. You can do this for quality of life and longevity 🤗

Awesome! 3 days for me

Congrats. 3 days for me

Awesome!! Thank you for sharing!

Congrats. I had my sleeve Monday morning. I was scared too. But all went well, went home Tuesday. Gas pain. Trying to drink more fluids. Good luck 🤗

My surgery is today august 16. In three hours. Nervous but glad the day is here! Started working on this February 2021.

I am 8/16. Nervous. Hard time sticking to preop diet. Strayed 3 x so far. Told my Dr yesterday. He said just go back on. Make sure Clear Liquids day before surgery. Nothing after midnight. And that I will do fine. Good luck to everyone!

So sorry, I too have been worried about that. Hang in there! Stay ready. My date is August 16. On pins and needles. Hospitals around Atlanta are filling up with COVID cases. Good luck to you!

Good luck, see ya on the flip side. Mine is Aug 16. Give us updates please. ❤️

Thank you, good luck and would love updates! Excited and nervous.

Yes, I am worried about that also.

August 16. Yikes.

I had my RNY conversion from lap band 5 years ago. I was 65 at the time. No pain. Best thing I have ever done for my health. I am now 69 and healthier and stronger than I have ever been in my life. I still have to consciously eat well every day. Take advantage of the honeymoon period to learn good eating habits. Best wishes on this exciting journey.

Thank you.

August 16. Somewhat nervous

I am nervous, but I need this surgery to lose the weight, so I can be healthier, live longer. we can do this!

thank you for the reply, I am hoping for the best, awesome you are veterinarian.

good to hear, looks like your doing great, congrats. my main concern is my mobility isnt so good, walking slow, and not far worried about getting rid of the gas people talk about causing pain in chest. did you have gas pains post surgery?

I am 69 having surgery on August 16. any support is very appreciated.
