Can't believe that I will be having my surgery on June 5th!!! It's getting so close now. I am nervous, yet soooo excited! Really wanting to be in a good online support group...since I live in a very small town and pretty isolated there is nothing avaliable here in regards of support groups...so hoping that I will get some great feedback and support...good luck to you all!!:001_tongue:

Hi there

You're in good company....and will be able to get the support you need on here - like a lot of us who aren't able to go to a support group.

You're 5 days ahead of me... so you have a head start on me - so good luck... let us know how you get on.

Kathy

June 5th will be here before you know it! Congratulations on your date!

I know, it has already snuck up on me, i fly out on the 3rd of June, so it's close now!! Thanx for the congrats!!!! How has your sleeve been so far? was there many complications for you?....sounds like you are doing quite well with it so far!!!!

This is the best place to come to for support. Everyone is was very helpful when ever I need advice. Good luck!

Thankfully everything has gone very smoothly for me, I only used my pain pump twice in the hospital and took nothing for pain after that and I had no gas pains. In the beginning when I had more swelling and thus more restriction I had a hard time learning to eat slowly but that finally passed. I am SO very happy with my decision to get sleeved, I am sure you will be too!

Nice to hear that you had a good experience with your sleeve Robbie, i am hoping that i will have the same with mine. I have myself mentally prepared that it will be painful just incase ha! but probably not prepared as much as i think!!! Yes, i am just doing the waiting game now, i started my pre-op today which includes some protein shakes and some soup, which is not too bad! Anyway, thanx for replying and hoping that mine will go smoothly as well....good luck with the rest of your journey, i am looking forward to being on your side now!!!:001_tt2:
