I'm 25 years old and from British Columbia, Canada. My surgery is set for October 2. My pre op ensure shake diet starts September 2 but I have started a week early for a head start I am

A nurse by profession and engaged but no kids. With my history of PCOS kids will come after I drop the weight. Starting weight: 280lbs Current Weight: 275 and losing everyday!!

Gown and socks on 1/2 hr to show time. Can you believe the gown i have on has an air hose attached to it to keep you warm?

Yeah, it's called a Bair Hugger gown. I heard a nurse created it, she was probably tired of going to get warm blankets for the patients. I know how she felt. Most hospitals have them now, since regulating temp decreases risk of infection and helps keep pain under control. Congratulations on your big day, and I wish you a speedy recovery!

It is so real now hearing everyone coming out of it. Thoughts with everyone going in today!

I'm having my surgery with Dr. Heider, too!

I'm in Charlotte, with Carolina Surgical.

Hi Octosleevers, yesterday was a ruff day. My BP was up. I do not have a BP problem. It was my body's reaction to the pain. I am much better on day 3 than day 2. Going home today!

Good luck to all those being sleeved today.

Hi everybody. I was sleeved on Monday, first thing in the morning. Monday afternoon was rough, a lot if gas pain. Yesterday was better, although a lot of nausea. Today they're letting me drink water....about 6 oz every two hours. So far so good! Good luck to all of you!
