Oct 2/2012. The First Day Of My New Life

I'm getting sleeved today! Check in at 930 and op is at 1130. So many mixed emotions right now. I keep telling myself: the will of god will never take you where the grace of god can't protect you. Say a little prayer for me everyone :)

Thank u everyone! And thanks again Marcy. Hard to believe that there is someone else in this small town of ours going through the same thing in just a few weeks. Will keep everyone posted :)

My prayers are for you, too.

Thinking of you! Praying for you as you recover!

Congrats on ur sleeve day! I'm praying for a fast and easy recovery for you!!!

Just relax and go with the flow. It takes time to get adjusted after the surgery. Not an easy journey but well worth it down the line. My prayers are with you

Happy sleeve day! Prayers are going up as we speak!

Thinking about you! Hope all went well:)

Hello everyone, just checking in from my hospital bed. Surgery went really really well! I'm so glad I did this. I went in at 1130. A few mins before I had a good cry but the nurses and doctors talked me through it. Went into the OR and my surgeon said "just relax and have a good sleep". They had trouble finding a vein for IV but they found one. Then they put a mask on with oxygen and soon the medicine. When I woke up around 3 in the recovery room all I remember saying is "I'm gonna puke I'm gonna puke". But the amazing nurses were on top of my nausea and pain. To be honest, the nausea was a bigger concern for me than the pain. Pain is very minimal. I would say 3/10. I have 8 incisions. Have been in an out of sleep but its good. My parents, brothers and boyfriend came in as soon as the surgeon called them and visited for a bit. Got up for my first walk at 8 which was nice. Incisions bled as I was getting up but again, the nurse was on top of it. I hope the next few days/weeks are as easy as this. Hope all of the other octosleevers an oct 2 sleevers had an experience as smooth as mine :)

Glad ur doing well!!!! Keep us posted!

Glad you're doing great, hope your recovery is even better;)
