Waiting to be admitted. I sent my daughter to school. No reason for her clinical . surgery scheduled at 11:30. Guess I'm getting a little nervous for the first time.

Im sleeved!!! In pain and groggy but imma be fine

Well checkd n...soon will b back, dressed and complete. Join me on myfitnesspal my username is veugeniced I'll surely b trackn movn forward!

Prayers for all being sleeved today! I'm just 24 hours away!

Me too! I'm 9 days postop, you? I can't even roll over in bed without waking up in excrutiating pain on that left side! I am wearing a binder with a washcloth tucked in over that site to give extra pressure-it's the only way I make it through. I am still taking ES Tylenol every 4-6 hours also. I see my MD on Friday-will try to get some insight.

I'm one full week out & I don't have any pain in my stomach or the large incision. I don't think I've had any since maybe Sunday so like 4 days out I was good

I'm 3 days out and it's when I get out off bed that hurts so much.. Even walking hurts

no regrets though

Prayers and thoughts going out to all of you getting sleeved today.

I'm in hospital with IV waiting my turn. Nervous but ready to go. God speed to all sleevers today!

Down 18lbs since 9/27 pre-op diet! Heeeeeyyyyy! Jus waitn on surgeon. Ttyl!

My surgery date is 10/29/12 I have been cutting back so far so good. Pre op diet starts 10/15 and I will be getting blood work etc done

Me too Chris! I am so excited, nervous, anxious, scared, happy, and terrified! I am so nervous about 2 weeks worth of Protein shakes!

Its day 10 for me and I can honestly say things have gotten alot better!!! Just came back from getting a massage and I can tell a big difference in the gas pains in my chest and shoulder. I have fibromyalgia so this surgery sent me into one big flare up.

Also, take the pain meds that the doctors prescribe!!!! Don't try and tough it out!! They really help.

Best of luck and Blessings to all of you !!
