To all -- I dont have my surgery date yet but I do know that any support is good support!.. I have met a few people on line and been with them every step of the way online. Feel free to post here when you are on your way in and when you are on your way out of the hospital.. We are here for you!

Any one being sleeved in the morning? Let's Go! We will be your personal cheerleaders!!!

My sleeve is tomorrow' date=' very very nervous n worried about the recovery, post op pain n possibility of a leak[/quote']

Hang in there. Just remember all the positives that will come out of the pain.

Enuff is snuff ....... I wish I could meet you in person. You are such a positive influence and a wonderful person. My surgery is 12/26 and the closer it gets the more nervous I get. I am so tired of being fat. Definitely time for a new me. Thank you for the positive energy you send all of us. Bless you!

On my way to the hospital. Today's the day. See you all on the other side

Praying for those being sleeved today and for those recovering. Thank you Jesus for the surgeons, nurses and support staff. Lead and guide each of them. Thank you for your healing hands. To you be the glory!

So I'm posting this here because many of you are at a similar stage as me: I'm afraid that my sips are too big/ I am drinking too much at once. I'm not uncomfortable or full but the amount of fluids I can take in scares me :/ . Is anyone else dealing with this?

Hey yes ma'am! I drink , drink, drink, drink and never feel full! I had some rice in my chicken broth. i only did two tablespoons of rice and I ate that with my broth and I felt like I ate something but not full. I don't feel any restriction. Maybe that will come with real food.

I love all the support and ideas in here. My surgery isn't until 1-16 but I am starting to get ready!

Ladies

It is soo nice to see all of you again and Kudos to those of you who kept the momentum going! Congrats to all of those who were sleeved before good 'ol 2013 rolled in. I hope all is going very well and recovery is moving right along without complication. Unfortunately, I have had a severe upper respiratory infection along with asthma complications and a sinus infection for the past couple of weeks!. What a drag, antibiotics for 3 weeks can be rough on a girls body if you catch my drift: :-s... But I am back full force now.

@ DecemberSleever, Thank you for the post. I am in Richmond, VA, if you are close, I would love to meet up. I have actually met a couple of persons from the other forum, Lapbandtalk, when I was an active member. I have been wired to give to those as I give to myself, if not more.. I am grateful that many of you have gained inspiration and solace from my "prayers" and words of encouragement. I hope you pass it on the next person because you never know when someone needs to hear a pleasant word from a kind heart.

If there are any of you who are having surgery in the coming weeks, please leave a note here so that we can continue to pray and send well wishes your way.

ROLL CALL, To my new sleevers, how goes it! I have read most of the posts and so far soo good. I hope you all are over any premature hurdles! Best of luck to you all!

I'm 9 days out and doing really well. I'm down 15 pounds since surgery and 24 pounds overall. I had very little pain after surgery. No gas whatsoever Having a hard time getting all my water and protein in each day but I'm working on it. Loving my sleeve.
