February Sleevers

I'm set up for February 4th. Seems like forever away. People keep telling me, "oh don't worry". It bugs me cause I'm not worried. What seems to keep popping in my head is, am I doing the right thing.

I would like to here what others are thinking, going through.

My Doctors plan is two days preop clear liquid, not 10 like I've been reading on here. Anyone else similar?

Thanks,

Kimo

Today is my day. I'm excited nervous. I didn't realize how nervous I was until my stomach starting feeling anxious. Today is the start of a new life. Good luck everybody.

Best wishes to you. You'll be just fine. I was sleeved on 2/19 and the only discomfort I have is from gas, which lasts about 1-2 weeks post-op.

Best of luck to everyone getting sleeved today!!

At this time tomorrow, I'll be going into the OR myself!

Well, we are down in Dayton at the hotel. My surgery time was bumped up from 10:45 to 7:15am! Let's hope the surgeon is a morning person!! I have to be at the hospital by 5:15. Not gonna sleep tonight at all. Too excited and anxious!

I am doing better then I thought I would. Hardly no gas and minimal pain so far. Thank you pain meds!!! I hope all you who are getting sleeved today are doing well also!

I was told no polish on my finger because the put the pulse ox probe to measure your oxygenation but I had a French manicure on my toes. They said that was ok

I went in with pink toes and French manicure with zebra stripes and they said no problem.

I did not this surgery. I have had it in the past with previous surgery.

I have lovenox. It s a stinger but not that bad

You sound like me six days ago. How are you? God bless and God speed your recovery!

God, I'm so flippin angry and frustrated today and want nothing more than to have a giant freaking pepperoni pizza and cheese bread delivered and chow down. But it's a stress reaction. I only want the "comfort" of food because I'm so stressed. I will get through this and eat a piece of chicken.

I'm really nervous about tomorrow ....best of luck to you and speedy recovery my sleeve buddy!
