Hey there! Getting sleeves tomorrow 5/20. I'm sooo excited but getting nervous. Any last words of advice on hospital stay or the days after, and so on? Thanks guys and wish me luck!

just walk, walk , walk as much as you can and keep sipping the water. The first week or so you probably wont get in the recommended amount of protein and water, but get in as much as you can. The first week i averaged 20 grams of protein and about 20 oz of water. As time passed and your stomach heals and the swelling does down you will be able to get it all in. Oh, take chap stick, you'll want it!! Good luck to you, it will be just fine!!

I have no advice since I'm a pre-sleever too but I just want to wish you well tomorrow! Please keep us informed of your journey! We're all behind you!

Good luck, God Bless & as soon as you feel up to it let us know how you're doing!! CONGRATS!!
