So up until now I was fine. Surgery is this Thursday the 14th and im soooooo scared. I dont wanna be in pain. Plus I hate pain meds and the way they make me feel. I also have an anxiety disorder and im freaking myself out. I keep thinking the worst possible senarios. Anyone else having doubts? Someone please tell me its not as bad as people say it is so I can get through this.

Im getting over the anxiety thing and now im just more looking forward to feeling good about myself again. I wanna be able to walk up my stairs to my house without getting winded. I wanna be able to eat a small amount and be full and not think wow I could eat more. I just hope the surgery goes well for all of us March 14th sleevers. Our long journey is going to be well worth. Everyone stay positive

I'm so excited for you! Hope all will go well & there will be minimal discomfort!

Trying really hard to be positive, sitting here eating my jello, blah!!! Can't wait to see the numbers go down on the scale. God Bless you all, hope everything goes really well.

U got this!!! 5 days post op and no pain meeds since the one nite at hospital.

Thanks for all the encouragement.

Getting ready to take my night shower now. Getting excited but nervous too. Cant wait to be done with it and the only way to go is up....not on the scale of course lol

Good luck AUNM. I will be praying for you.

... just to give you some hope. I had my sleeve and gallbladder surgery at the same time. First day in the hospital I used the drip a couple of times... 2nd day I used it twice. I went gome that day and havnt used any pain meds since the hospital. No pain.. nothing

So true I only used pain meds the first day out.

So far in the hospital I have used the morphine maybe five times to help me sleep. It makes me nausea so I try to only take it when I need it. I dont really like pain meds so im avoiding it at all costs. Lol the pain isnt as bad as I thought it would be. The gas is what kills it. My doc said to not take gas x strips so that sucks. I just have to deal with it. Tomorrow I get to try fluids for the first time. Wish me luck

Im on my second day hi ome and the gas has improved greayly. Im just having acid reflux alot and it feels like hunger pains.

I had that also.. starting taking generic prevacid and it went awat until now when im actually hungry

Well hopefully you are now all done and dusted, and on the way to your happier and healthier life. It really was the best thing I have ever done for myself. I am at my target weight, and fel amazing! I have been maintaining for around 6 months, I can eat anything, no food is a problem. I eat like a normal person, just smaller amounts - I love my sleeve, and I hope you love your too! Good luck xxx
