So yeah I am freaking out right now!!!! Excited/ Nervous/ last minute reserves if I am making the right decision..... I have seen other people share these same feeling so I know it is just pre sleeve nerves!!! I have probably a totally stupid question so I am just gonna say it, After surgery is it hard to swallow saliva? I am probably just thinking crazy but I was just curious! I am down 16 pounds in just 13 days doing my doc's pre-op diet!! I am pretty impressed with my self!!! So here is to finally getting on the losers bench!!! Say a prayer for me all you prayer warriors!! Surgery is at 0930am!!! See you all on the losers bench!!! Will try to post tomorrow night to update you all :o)

So excited for you!!!! I'll pray for a successful surgery. This'll be the best thing you ever did for yourself! Great job on your weight loss so far, that'll really help your healing time. Swallowing saliva wasn't an issue for me or my husband who also had the sleeve. GOOD LUCK! Enjoy the journey! :)

Good luck! In my case I couldn't swallow anything until 24 hours post op after a leak test. There was nothing about swallowing saliva. I had no problems tolerating the fluids required the day after surgery.

I can drink pretty fast without issue today. I'm more than 2 months postop. If I try to drink too fast, I will have some pain. Like everything else, YMMV.

Good luck to you. I'm in hospital now, had surgery about 9 hours ago. Feeling alright. Gas pains are the worst, gives me some sharp pains when I inhale deep.

But I'm up an walking now, the foggy drugginess is wearing off. Feeling quite peaceful with my decision.

This morning I was a crying wreck, having panic attacks and had to be given Ativan. Glad it's over. Can't wait for some Jello :)

Thank you all for your prayers and support! My surgery went awesome!! I ended up having a hernia repaired as well! I have a pain pump for pain control, have been walking every 2 hours, and have my hubby at my bedside as a personal nurse :o) I am scared about having to swallow more than icechips today! Thanks again for your support! It is very comforting knowing the support and love I get from this forum! Have an AWESOME wednesday everyone!!! Also I lost an official 18 pounds on preop diet in 13 days!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
