hello there

yes i am nervous... my scheduled for april 17, 2013....

Nerves are normal. The hardest bit is getting through the liquid food stage and after that it gets easier everyday. The actual surgery is not scary at all your asleep and recovery is so fast you are only uncomfortable for a few hours. It's a little sacrifice for a lot of good.

When were you able to tolerate more solids ? I'm 2 weeks out and seems like only sifts are good right now . Prob . 2 more weeks I'm thinking , that's what Dr . Thought . Any suggestions ? I'm not in a hurray , just occassionlly interesting in venturing out and it doesn't work .

I was so excited to be getting my sleeve , that I wasn't even nervous !!!! You will all do great ! I'm 2 weeks out , about 27 pounds down and living my new sleeve !!!! Prayers for you all !

My date is Tuesday march 26.. I am.so scared and.so hungry...

My surgery date is April 10th and I'm just scared about the unkown. I haven't had any thoughts about backing out of it, which is good. Good luck to all of you!

The liquid diet is killing....
