Aug 20 came and went and so did my tummy! Home resting now! No pain meds! Thanks for the warm wishes, Beloved. Those if you in the process: this is doable!!! Believe in yourself, love yourself, and make decisions that are good for you.

Congratulations. I am so glad it went well. I still have about 2 1/2 weeks until my sleeve. Can you tell me anything about the pain level although I know we all have different levels of pain tolerance. Hope your day goes well! Blessings to you and good luck on your new journey!

Congratulations! Sounds like you are doing well emotionally and physically. No pain meds is wonderful because I heard there was some aspect of discomfort at different levels. I have finished everything, now waiting on phone call from surgeon staff to set appt. to set date. Was the week before surgery on the clear liquid diet hard? Also, did you get a medical alert bracelet? I was told the one thing to be sure of is, if an event of a car wreck (example) that u cannot be tubed due to the size of your stomach and could puncture it. Was this a concern of yours? I've really thought of this and cpr and other medical emergencies. I was just wondering if maybe your dr. discussed this with you. I can't find anywhere on this forum where its mentioned. I'm going to have my sleeve done but would like to know from someone if they know any of these answers. I wish you the best of luck. Sounds like you have started off great. I hope it just gets better and better as time goes on. I sure hope mine hours as well as yours.

Welcome to the losers bench! Glad it went well and you are home and no need for pain meds!

Great to hear the successes. Heading into surgery in 2 hours. I can't believe the time is here. Looking forward to getting me back.
