Hi everyone,

Your stories help so much. I'm getting sleeved in Hackensack NJ in 4 hours. I can't sleep. I'm so scared. I don't know if I'm scared for the actual surgery or more because I'm losing my best friend! (Food)

The doc said that my stomach was twice the size of any normal stomach.

Wow!! How are you feeling?

Doing great. About to go home

Great to hear your are going home. I get sleeved Dec 13. Your story gives me more confidence.

Mokee said it best... I'm also 1 week out, and the 1st week is full time job getting Proteins in, liquids, Vitamins, etc...and walk. Took me about 4 days before I stepped outside and walked, should've been sooner, I'm sure! Congrats and good luck!!

Yay, so glad you are going home and are doing well.

This is going on my 3rd night. Gas is breaking which feels amazing. I'm able to get my fluids in easily. And gas x strips help tremendously. Just a little tired but doing well.

Doing great. About to go home

Hope you are feeling better

Congrats

Are you back at work? I have a desk job in sales. Think I can be back in 3 days?

Hey...I know/hope you didn't make it back to work. I was sleeved on the 14th I thought I could go back to work after 6-7 days and could not...I still needed pain meds from time to time and energy level was low. I did go back earlier than my dr. wanted me to but I survived...lol

I'm feeling pretty good. I might go in for 3 hrs tomorrow and 4 hrs Saturday. Gas x helped a lot. The carbon dioxide they inflate u with is what hurts the most. I didn't have a preop diet. And in 2 days I have lost 11 lbs.
