Hi, are there any other July sleevers out there. Golly it feels like forever away... 10 weeks to go...

Surgery later today-still awake at 1am' date=' have to get up at 5am to leave by 6am for 8am check in at Swedish (darn traffic!). Surgery is at 10:40am and my husband will be staying overnight in the hospital with me. I have been nervous at times, but my way of coping with things I don't like (dentist etc) is to put them off until I absolutely have to- which will mean when I have to put on that hospital gown. I take a page out of Scarlett O'Hara's playbook and say "I'll think about that tomorrow". Working so far! Skin feels dry from that darned hospital soap- sensitive skin. More later! Good luck all you July 2nd folks![/quote']

Happy Sleeve Day to you!

Keep us posted, all the best to you.

My time is 6 in the morning. My nerves hit bottom around noon today. I am shaking now!!!!

Happy Sleeve Day to you!

All the best to those receiving their sleeves today.

On the way to the hospital! Hopefully traffic is not too bad.

Good luck all July 2nd Sleevers!

Good luck to everyone being sleeved today!

Okay, I'm getting ready to leave here in about an hour to go to the surgery center. I'm excited and scared at the same time.

Same here- my date is now Aug 2nd....

I was sleeved on the 1st at 8:00... They sent me home this evening because main pain level was down to a 5, I passed by swallow test, and I was able to keep 3 hours of liquids down. I had a three hour, MISERABLE ride home. Now pain is back at a 10 and the crushable painkillers are NOTHING like the IV stuff. Just took a shower and cried through the whole thing. The gas hurts, I can't tell if the Gas X is helping. Mainly my stomach & incisions HURT! I feel like they are going to rip out. Enormous amounts of pressure.

I hope things Get better for u

Hi K. Thanks for letting us know how you are. I really hope the pain subsides so that you may get the rest that you need. Best wishes and hopefully tomorrow will be a great new day!
