My surgery is tomorrow. I am a bit nervous to start a new life's journey at age 63. I am an only child and do not have any real sisters to confide in. So I would love for any of you to be my SLEEVE SISTERS.

I live in Louisiana and moved to a new city after Hurricane Katrina several years ago and left all my friends.

I pray I am doing the right thing.

Congrats on your surgery tomorrow.. You'll do great! We're all here for you and plenty of unbiased support.. From most of us

Please, feel free to pm me and you're in my prayers and thoughts.. Keep us Updated

Thank you so much.

Good luck! I am 66 and had my sleeve on March 11th. I have lost 30 lbs and feel better than I I have for years. You will find a lot of support on this forum.my advise- read everything and follow your doctors instructions.

Hey lory.. you're probably having sweet dreams right now and speedy recovery to you. Updated us as soon as you can and it may seem difficult (or maybe not) but WALK WALK WALK.. It will help immensely in getting back to normal and healing

Bless you

Hi Lory, I'm in Louisiana too! I would love to support you along your journey! I can remember feeling like you and now I'm almost 3 months out and feeling FABULOUS! Hoping you are having a safe and successful surgery, and we will all be here for you when you return! Sending thoughts and prayers your way. See you on the sleeve side!

Welcome lory. You have an amazing journey ahead of you:) As with anything else you will find good and bad things associated with this surgery. People have such varied experiences with this it is mind boggling. For the most part you will see a positive result. Make sure you are ready and understand all the things in your life that will change. After that you will have your surgery and hop on the sleeve bandwagon. You'll have great days and some that you may not enjoy. But your scale will move downward little by little. It is truly awesome to step on your scale and smile for a change. Then your clothes will start to fit differently and will finally fall off. Only those who have had a struggle with weight know how much it means when your pants simply fall off. Congratulations and please keep us posted on your progress:)

Lory. I'd like to be your sleeve sister. This is a great place for support, to have questions answered, and to share what we are learning. I'm a month post-op and extremely happy with my decision to have my band removed & have the conversion to the sleeve.

Which recovery was harder do you think? Lapband or sleeve?

For me, the lap band recovery was probably a little easier; but I think that is because the sleeve surgery included removal of the band & repair if a hernia.
