I would like to schedule my surgery for the first full week in March once my insurance is approved, any other March Sleevers in the building?

I'm March 20th also! So excited and nervous. I have my pre-op appointment on March 11 (MONDAY!) but I already cut the white flour and sugar out of my diet this week just to get a head start. We'll see if it does any good. I think the biggest fear for me has been on whether this will work for me. I've been overweight all my life and up and down. I haven't seen below 200 since I was about 12 (seriously....that bad). Now I'm 5'8 and a hair under 300. Blah. Looking forward to a new future.

My surgery is March 13- less than a week away! I can't believe it! A little nervous, but so glad I found this group! So much good info and encouragement here!

Hi Guys my surgery was March 4! I was knocked out until today lol Too much pain meds. The first day is tough but u can make it. Good luck to the rest of March sleevers

I can sense the excitement (and nerves) on this thread. Can't wait till we're all done and safely on the other side. A patient recently sleeved by my surgeon has had a bleed and it is making me even more nervous. I am wondering if it is a sign I shouldn't be going ahead with the op.

Argh how negative do I sound? lol

Time for a bit of positive thinking me thinks....x

Funny thing. When something like that happens, it usually makes them MORE attentive. So now might just be the best time to have it done.

Best of luck to you!

Kyeta thank you so much for your reply. That is an excellent way to view the situation. I have just realised how negative I am being. Time to focus on the exciting aspects.

Well its bedtime here in Scotland nighty night, look forward to more updates tomorrow. Xx

Ok fellow March sleevers, I am now on day 7 of being sleeved. I still have some pain on my left 15mm incision, but it is a little more tolerable now. It really does help to walk , walk, walk! I still have a little gas pains here and there but not as bad as they were the first few days. The gas x strips come in sooo handy. It's definitely getting easier to move around and walking is actually kind of fun now that the sun is out. I am still on my clear liquids until Sunday then I will go on full liquids, kind of excited for a little bit more variety to my diet. Lol. For me I find that if my water, liquids are cold with ice they tend to go down better than lukewarm or room temperature liquids, but everyone is different. I have to say the first couple of days weren't too bad maybe because I was on pain medication, lol the next couple of days were pretty much hell! But now it's like I can see the light at the end of the tunnel, so good luck to all my fellow March sleevers, we'll be starting the new spring season with a new spring in our step!

.

Kaleen thank you for your update and continued success. I hope you continue to feel better each day. I am having my surgery this Monday. Wish me luck. Cheryl
