Hi All,

I've been lurking for awhile and just wanted to say hello.

I'll officially join the ranks of sleevers tomorrow.

As a sufferer of fibro my surgeon thinks that the sleeve and weight loss could help alleviate a lot of the pain I have on a daily basis and prevent my weight from climbing which it has done steadily since my diagnosis.

I am super excited and can't wait.

Home from the hospital after a two day stay and a hearty dose of antibiotics. I'm feeling much better; thank you for all of your warm wishes! The funny thing is that the pain was all infection and if it weren't for that, the vgs would have been a pretty smooth ordeal. For those lurkers out there (I'm of the former ranks) it really is true what they say! You very well could have your procedure on a Thursday and be back to work on a Monday. Truly amazing.

Congrats Hugapug and "welcome to the losers bench" as they say! You sound great...I'm amazed at how well your feeling so soon. God bless.

You sound very positive after a bump in your road! Good for you!

and yep - I did exactly that. Surgery on Thursday and work on Monday. I am mainly at a desk so was able to get up and walk when needed. I worked 3-6 hours a day that first week, and full time the 2nd week.

Hope the rest of your experience is smoother! And the scale is no longer an enemy!
