Just got the call for my surgery time on Monday, very excited but getting a little nervous. Any last minute suggestions from all of you on the losers bench? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Congratulations!!!

I'm only 9dpo, but the best advice I can give is walk walk walk as soon as possible!! Also sip as much as possible. During your first week, don't focus so much on your Protein intake, just try to get in as much fluids as you can. Take it easy and remember to use a small pillow to splint your stomach when coughing or rising up from a sitting or laying position.

4 more days!!!

Good luck! I'm right behind you on 3/21!

My Surgery is March 19 at 7 am. Very excited an scared. This is a long time coming. Just curious what to expect that first time I take my first sip after surgery? That is my biggest fear right now.

Yay! Congrats my time is 8am monday! I am scared as well so lets hope together that it is normal!

I'm getting sleeved Monday at 11am. I'll be thinking of you. Good luck! We'll be sleeve buddies.

My sleeve will be done at 11 am on Monday the 19th as well. Pacific time. Good luck to all of us!

That is great everyone. We will all have to keep in touch an help each other out. I know I am on the countdown already to surgery. Looking at 40 hours till surgery time. Getting very excited. How is everyone doing with pre-op clear liquid diet. So far I am okay not missing the food. Married with 3 kids an meals still have to go on. I am drinking Isopure it has 40 grams of protein in it so I do half a bottle in am and other half at lunch. (tastes and like koolaide) Then tonight I am going to try Injury protein mix at dinner with my sf jello and Popsicle. Hope everyone has great day.

I'm getting a little nervous and sometimes wonder if I'm doing the right thing but I know that this will be the best thing I can do for myself to get healthy. I'm so glad to see so many of us with the same date! I look forward to hearing from all of you later this week to hear how everything went. Good luck to you all!

I understand the nerves. My husband got sleeved a year ago last week so I know what to expect and I'm still a little anxious. Decided to take my last ever trip the Lane Bryant today to buy a bra that doesn't have an underwire. I read somewhere on another post that one woman said that was one thing she wished she knew before surgery.

To quote Bob Marley, "Everything little thing's gonna be alright".

Good luck to all of us tomorrow. By Wednesday, I hope to hear that you are all well on your way to recovery and a brand new life with me.
