At last! It's my turn to get sleeved.:thumbup: I feel like I've waited forever!

All the support & information I've gotten from this forum over the last month & a half or so has been invaluable and I want to thank you all so much! Hopefully I'll be back soon posting info about my post-op experiences, too!

I need to be at the hospital at 5:15a.m., surgery at 7:15. I stayed up all night because I wasn't tired (and more than a little nervous!) and now I'm sleepy. :biggrin2: Probably wasn't the best idea but I figure the next two days I'll get plenty of sleep! So I hope everyone had a good holiday season & hope to see ya'll again soon...on the other side! :smile1:

And good luck to angel for tomorrow! Knock 'em dead, girl! :biggrin0:

Midwest Girl -

By now you are probably sleeved and out of surgery. I hope you recovery is quick and easy for you. Keep us posted on your progress.

Hey there! Thanks for all the support. I'm at home! Feeling good, other than my incision sites are still obviously tender. My surgeon said everything went great - apparently my surgery only took 35 minutes! I was in a lot of pain right after I got out of recovery, but my nurses all took good care of me! I'm sipping, sipping, sipping and walking as much as I can. I was up running around the hospital last night as soon as they let me walk. :scared0: I can't believe I'm sleeved! It's still pretty surreal. I'm enjoying broth :drool5: but I'm also looking forward to full liquids in 3 days when I can have my shakes with milk instead of water. Thanks again for all the well wishes! They really helped me out! :lol0:

YAY YAY I'm glad you are home and recovering.

Congratulations! Welcome to the sleeved side!!!! Take care of yourself and recover quickly.

Congrats! Here is to a speedy recovery and much success!

Midwest Girl! I'm so happy everything went well for you. . . you got home really fast, i was in the hospital 3 days, you get to go on full liquids pretty darn quick! I am still on clear liquids until Thursday and my surgery was on 12/29! oh well guess each doctor is different. . . good for you Girl! Keep up the good work!
