So I got sleeved on 3/9 and I have to say this is nothing like I was expecting. I have been virtually pain free, except for the gas. Walking isn't bad, it actually feels good. I hope all my other March sleevers have as easy of a time as I have! Good luck to all those waiting.

Hi...Congrats on your surgery!!! Did you have your surgery done here in the U.S. or abroad? My surgery date is March 16!! Now I'm starting to get nervous

I was sleeved 3/7 and I have some gas pain. Feel real good.

Congrats on your surgery and exceptional post-op! Hopefully you're the trend setter for the rest of us Marchies, lol.

Congrats! That's wonderful hear! I've been needing some encouragement lately. I get sleeved March 15th, and I'm getting very nervous. Ok, Marchies! We can do this. How is everyone doing on their pre-op diets?

Feeling really awesome today! Four days out. Going to the mall and do some window shoppping getting in walking time. Once I get back to work the only time I will have to exercise is of an evening and on weekends. I will make the best of the time I have. No worries.

How very encouraging for those of us waiting on a date! Congratulations!

I was sleeved in the states. I got really nervous once I got to the hospital but this has been easy. Don't stress you will do fine.

:thumbsup: this is so great to hear. That is soo awesome!!

Okay - so I was sleeved on March 8th. I haven't really had an extreme amount of pain. I'm 3 days out and have switched to Tylenol from Vicadin today. My biggest issue is protein. I can't stand the Isopure and I can't seem to get the protein in any other way. I'm eating the broth and jello but I think that I'm listless because of the lack of protein. I've got a call into the dietician at my surgeon's office, I hope they call back soon. Do you get that burning, gurgling going on when you swallow something (even water)?

I am doing pretty good on my pre-op diet I think still some dry mouth issues but i drink lots of water and eating on ice so that helps alot so far so good i cannot believe it! Day 5 came so fast I did not think I was going to make it!!!!!! My Sx date is March 15th and I cannot wait! Goodluck to to all the March sleevers!

Oh yes the gurgling is driving me NUTS. I burp with almost every sip. I'm being told this gets better.

It is SUPER encouraging to hear how good you are doing! I am March 14th and actually feeling a bit more calm than I did the beginning of this week. At the beginning of this week, I was thinking of not doing. I am doing this pre-op diet, so why can't I just lose the weight on my own. Today, I don't feel that at all and I am ready to do this. I guess what I am saying is, I am all over the place! I hope I have as good a recovery as you do!!

Seeing this makes me feel so much better! I am scheduled for March 15th and am a nervous-excited combo. I am ready to be done with the liquids pre-op ...

Congrats to those sleeved and good luck to all! Yay for the loser's bench!

Great for you! I am getting sleeved March 28th and I hope to have as great reactions as you did. Keep up the good work!
