May 31, 201214 yr I was sleeved 5/17..I was scared too everything went fine.The only discomfort I had was gas in my upper/GI area making it a lil tough to take deep breaths.The pain was minimal I had the morphine drip and only pushed the button maybe 2 times a day. Best of luck!
May 31, 201214 yr Sammy, you'll be fine! I get sleeved the 19th and my wife was sleeved 11 days ago. I watched her and she went through it fine as well and she hates surgery! You'll go to sleep with the anesthesia, then wake up a little while later on the road to a brand new you! Have a great sleeving! Eric
