Congrats on your sleeve surgery date! I am one day before you. Just wanted to say best wishes! I hope this next week & half go by quickly for us!

Congratulations!

I"m 4 months out and loving my sleeve.

Best thing I've ever done for myself!

My advice is to just keep reading so you'll know what to expect.

YAY! I wish you the best of luck :lol0: Is your Doc having you on a post-op diet?

Good luck and congrats on your upcoming surgery. You couldn't have picked a better day...hehe it is my sons birthday that day so it is a special day for me. Keep us posted. Just trust your doc and stay positive each day gets better and better.

How exciting!!!! I barely remember the week before my surgery. Hold on you are about to go for an awesome ride. If you type up in the other right hand search there are many specific answers of what to expect immediately after surgery.

My main piece of advice is one that I had a hard time following. Be patient and kind to yourself. You may heal differently than others, you may lose slower than others, but for this to be a successful life change you need to learn to be kind to yourself. Keep posting I am so excited for you!!!

I'm one day before you 9-8 so I know how you are feeling. Excited, yes yes yes, but are you having those GIANT butterflies??? Are you on a pre-op diet? Let's do this together lol, are you using a US dr?

I am going to Colombia for my surgery for cost reasons. I cant' believe that in about a week our lives will change for ever.

To all september sleevers: GOOD LUCK, we can do this!!

Hi,

I had the surgery August 17, 2010. I woke up with no pain and walked out of the hospital 24 hours later. I have had no problems, no pain, no medicine, nothing. I hate the sipping every 15 minutes rule and the one tablespoon of scrambled egg per day rule but I don't want my staples to tear. I am playing golf, lifting weights, and running. I'm losing 3-7 lbs per week.

I hope you have it as easy as I have here in Connecticut.
