Wow Shewin1 !!! Im glad you are going good :-)

I just want to make sure Zi didnt miss anything.

I only dropped 8lbs on my preop diet (1wk) only

Its 2:15. Hrs away so im getting my things together im shacking thats how nervous I am :-(

Thanks for the prayers it means alot

I bet u will be shocked when u check in at the hospital on how much more weight you've lost! My first week was only 3 lbs!!! How exciting!!!

Im up too :-( cant sleep at all

I have to be at the hospital at 530am

So nervous and now reading more My doctor didnt tell me to take any kind of cleanser

Did you all took anything enema? Or anything

No, no cleansers of any kind. Although my stomach was a wreck last night because of nerves, I think I cleansed ok :( I'm headed to the hospital soon, I have to be there by 0530 and I live about an hour away. Surgery is at 0730. Good luck to all!

My check in at the hospital is at 9:15. Surgery at 11:15. Slept a bit better than I thought. Up and ready sn hour earlier than needed. Just nervously waiting. Good luck to everyone today!

Sending positive vibes your way to all having surgery today! Keep us updated!

Good luck! I'm still in the hospital 2nd day and feeling great!

I am sleeved! I went in his moning at 5 to check in. They started surgery around 7am. I got to my room around like 10:30a. I was sleeping (if you could call it that) until around 1:30p when I took my first walk. It is painful getting in and out of bed but it is to be expected. In fact I have not had anything unexpected so far. Minor gas pains today. Hoping they don't come tomorrow with a vengeance. So far so good :D. Oh and I lost 10 pounds on the preop which puts me at 50 pounds lost over the last year.

Good luck to those being sleeved tomorrow. May everything be smooth!

Sleeved yesterday at 7:30am slept till 1am today the anesthesia hit me hard.... However I would wake with dry heaves that was painful and the fact that my mouth was do dry and they couldnt give me water...!!! I didnt walk but was discharged a couple of hours ago with no drainage bad that was awesome that I didnt get one.... Pain is tolerable and getting liquids in has been ok.... Gassy but it comes out by burping :-/

Lets see how the recovery goes... Good luck to every oh and I had to try 6 different nausea medicine because nothing worked
