  • Surgery scheduled tomorrow at 7 am. I've been fine until now. As I sit I'm the airport I feel tears welling up...I'm a bit overwhelmed with emotion. I'm extremely proud and happy for taking this step

  • I just got word today! Mine is scheduled for November 13th! Just a week & 1/2! When they called to schedule, I just started crying. She said the 13th was the only available day and asked if it w

    Yippee! I am done! Just had my barium swallow and it's all good! Seriously best perk so far is the fact I could only swallow 2 sips of the barium!! New life here I come!

I was sleeved Monday 11/26 .....I'm home now still with some pain n so nausea n vomiting.....I've been getting up to walk often ....whenever I can keep my eyes open....I just wanna wish everybody good luck n we can do this

Hope you begin to feel better soon. I was sleeved on 11/19 (revision) and I am getting fluids down fine. Hang in there!

well im here at the hotel waiting on henry to go to the hospital and for some strange reason ihad secound thoughts this morning but i had to quickly remember all the back pain and all the struggles walking up stairs and then having to catch my breath that will soon be behind me. i will holla after surgery

I'm having discomfort under my left breast that turns to a sharp pain when I take a deep breath. I also have costochondritis but it's been a long time since I've had a flare up. I'm 10 days out. Help? The pain isn't bad, just in a concerning place. I also had a sharp pain that roamed around last night on my right side/abdomen, that's where my biggest incision is too. Guess I'm just nervous. Advice would be awesome!

3 weeks post-op. Everything is going good. The other day I did something to my stomach (not my staple line) either internal stitches or scar tissue maybe. Now every time I try to bend or get up from sitting it hurts in one specific spot on my left side. It's not excruciating, but it hurts. Anybody else experience something similar? Don't know if I should call my doc

I pulled a few muscles on my right side where my major incision was. I got up wrong, then heaving made it worse. It was a pretty specific spot and was intensified when I moved in a certain way. in my opinion it sounds much like your problem. But I'm not an expert! A heating pad helped tremendously! If its a concern, call your doc. Make 'em work for what you paid them! ;) keep me posted!

Boston George welcome to the club... I'm two weeks out and it happened to me yesterday. Left side right below the rib. I did a lot of reading about it, seems really common. I talked with my doctor today and he said the same thing, common. Just try not to over do it everything is still healing. But I also read it could take months of that pain coming and going

I was about to say this same thing about my rights side.... I think I got up wrong and strained the muscle last week and it hurt for a few days then stopped. I think I did it again last night because the muscles are sore again today but it definitely feels like muscle soreness.

Good morning November sleevers! Waiting for my ride to take me across the border.... i'm so excited!! Wish me luck and say a prayer for me. Good luck to other sleevers today

I had mine done on November 12th :)
