Anyone else going to have their sleeve in May? I'm excited and now the nervousness has set in. I am reading a few posts that people are in the hospital for like 3 days. My dr said I would only be in the hospital one day. And that I would walk the same day as my surgery.... Is this something they tell everyone or should I plan on more than one day there? Either way, my life changes May 16th and I'm excited

I go in for my sleeve on May11th!! Very excited and nervous all at the same time!!

My doctor, Dr Hart in Atlanta, said that it would be an overnight stay at the hospital! Good Luck and keep us posted!! Can't wait to hear about your progress!!

I am 5 days out' date=' had mine on may 1st. Feeling pretty good but when I do to much I get exhausted. I have 3 kids at home so the chores never end! I am down 25 lbs since I started the liquid diet on April 16th. Can't wait to get to eating phase I'm so sick of protien shakes. A nurse told me people have the best results when they follow the drs. Instructions for the first 3 months! Good luck all of you! It'll all be worth it, I'm counting on it. Lori[/quote']

I haven't started the Protein shake, scared its going to hurt when going down? What shakes are you having are you mixing it with Water or milk?

I've been using bariatrics advantage chocolate and vanilla mixed with water. 3 weeks and I'm sick of it. I just switched to rasp lemonade bought from same site has 17 grams of protien.

It does hurt if you take big sips go slow and small sips. But it does sometimes hurt not too bad.

Thanks for sharing

Good luck to all the sleevers tomorrow! Can't wait to hear how you do!

Does anyone think right after surgery a couple days out, it's normal to be emotional? I've been crying all day. Over pictures, all kinds of silly things!

May23rd for me

I was in 2 night 3 days, yes you do walk right away, I just had mine done may 1! Feeling pretty good. Belly still sore hurts to burp or swallow to much and also really cold hurts. It's manageable.

Down 25 since pre-op diet!

I have read here that many of the ladies get very emotional after the surgery - all at varying stages - it apparently has to do with hormones that you release after surgery. I don't have my surgery until May 17, but I can remember when I had my lap band my moods were all over for about 4 months afterwards.

Hope your feeling better soon

May 9th for me..4th day on liquid diet..chicken broth and sf icee and jello not as bad as I thought

If you have trouble taking small sips use a small spoon to help it is getting me through the small sips.

I'm getting sleeved on may 8 th I was told 2-3 days in hospital good luck everyone
