When is your surgery? How are you feeling? Who's your doc? My surgery date is 2/13/12 and I fluctuate from ready to go, to really nervous. I'm traveling to Texas to Dr. David Kim. Anyone else using him? :welcome:

Sorry to hear that u are having such a hard time with the pre-op diet.. I did not say its been easy by any stretch..I have had really bad acid reflux which I have been taking meds for.. But the trade off for the hunger and reflux.. I went for weigh in .. This is day 6 of opti.. And I lost 8 1/2 pounds.. So I am ecstatic.. I hope that things get better for you both.. God Bless!

I'm feeling better today had my surg. 2-6 got out of hosp yesterday. So far so good pretty sore but not a problem drinking or eating ice chips. My daughters home bound teacher is here today and she actually had it last Jan and lost 125# and is very happy with it so that makes today all the better good luck everyone going soon !

Had my surgery Feb. 7 and got home Feb. 9. I'm feeling pretty good overall. A litlle sore and tired. I actually have an appetite today, I wasn't expecting that. Liquids hurt a little going down. I lost 12 pounds on my 10 day liquid diet. Only 98 pounds more to go! Good luck to the rest of you February Sleevers!

Yecats...... Well wishes on your surgery. Keep us posted on your progress.

Thank you sweet lady! I am doing wonderful. I can not beleive how great I feel. I have hope now. I feel like I just did a 1000 sit ups and I struggle with having enough fluids but I am not hungry at all. I am down 5lbs. since my surgery on Sat. the 4th. total of 17 1/2 since pre op. I am tickled!!!

Thank you!!

Surgery was 2/9, so i'm 2 days out. The gas pain in my belly is pretty killer, but other than tha, i guess i'm okay. Tired, and ready to go home, but hubby brought the ipad over last night, so i thought i should check in. Pardon any typos, my eyes and fingers aren't matching up too well...i think it's the drigs but i'm sleeved--yay!

Congrats on ur new sleeve! no worries, we all make typo's on these ipad's
