Good luck today. I am sure you will do just great being nervous is completely normal If I can give you one word of advice it would be to not let your pain get out of control. The nurse got on to me because I was trying to be, as she called it, Superwoman. What I figured out is when my pain was adequately controlled, I felt so much better mentally. My pain was significant, but others have had hardly any at all. Whatever yours may be, keep it under control. I'm only 15 days out now and have absolutely zero regrets. Well, I do have 1 and that is that I wish I'd done it sooner. Check in with us when you feel up to it and let us know how you are doing!

I think I wished you well on another post, but it never hurts to have extra well wishes!

Good luck to both of you...prayers for a speedy recovery. Please keep us posted.

Waiting for my ride. I'm a big chicken!

Ha ha, nah, it's just last minute jitters. Most of us can relate. Just try to relax and calm your mind this really is pretty easy as far as surgeries go.

It will be over and done with before you know it. Good luck.

Good to hear that you are doing well! Congrats on being sleeved!

Anyone have only 1 day in the hospital?

Most sleeves done in the US have very short hospital stays. Many have even reported being released same day as the surgury.

I stayed one night in hospital, went home the next day

Sorry to hear surgery took longer but glad to see u doing so well. It's nice to hear your pain is tolerable, it keeps me hopeful. Wish u a speedy recovery and congrats on making it to the losers bench.
