Hi all ! I'm being sleeved August 8th, 2012 by Dr Morris Washington in Myrtle Beach SC. Is there any other august sleevers on here?

I'm 27 (almost) ---about 100-130 to lose.

Hey, question for those that have been sleeved-are you guys having a hard time sleeping? I don't think I've slept through the night since my surgery! Frustrating.

Yes!!! I thought it was just me. I am tired during the day but then when I lay down at night I can't sleep for anything. I figured it was due to not getting enough activity during the day so I increased my walking on the treadmill.

Hey thanks for your reply. I've been researching this a lot, and there is some preliminary studies that show a correlation between reduced ghrelin hormone and sleep. It's really frustrating some nights! It's like having a newborn all over again.

It is definitely frustrating! Fortunately I had some leftover Ambien from about a year ago. That worked like a charm. I don't want to rely on it long term though.

Hi everyone,

Wishing you all good luck today and all those who have already gone, a speedy recovery. I am 8 days post op and feeling better today than I have since surgery. I even slept in...really really slept in till 10:00am. I must be needing to catch up on sleep. I even awoke sleeping on my tummy, yeah back to normal for me. Not the sleeping in part, I am usually a 5am kinda girl but the tummy sleeping. So excited for the new opportunities this surgery is going to give my family and I. Also, need to admit, post op reovery has been so easy with my children gone with their dad, he took an extra cycle off work to give me 10 days recovery time...he is a great dad! My house has been very quiet, and clean LOL. I have 5 more weeks at home and I think I will go a bit stir crazy, might have to start going for longer walks once school starts. (all the boys will be gone all day, BORING for mom at home)

Take care everyone and the after surgery journey is a good one...each day life gets better and better!

How is everyone doing? I'm still trying to get used to this site but in the meantime am finding it amazingly helpful! I was sleeved on August 15th and started my process in February. I am on day 7 and feeling good! I'm still a bit sore around that one "bad" incision but overall feeling better than pre-surgery. I am down 18.5 in a week ad couldn't be happier. Cannot wait to get to some soft foods though. Fellow August Sleevers, PLEASE share your experience throughout this month!

Thanks!

OT: I had a really bad experience on facebook while I was going through my divorce. My ex-husband is a psychotic stalker who enjoyed making my life hell. I deactivated the account because it was too hurtful to see our friends comment on the things he was saying about me. It's been years ago, and I said that I would never get on facebook again, but I really want to join this Facebook group. Does anyone know how to do that without deactivating the old account? Thanks
