    All done- I am officially sleeved! The recovery room was a little bit tougher than I thought- I woke up moaning with pain around 5 out of 10. I had hoped they'd already have my pain managed, but the

So excited, but so anxious. I can't believe how quickly it got here. I know it's going to be worth it. Lucky me has to clean out my system today with magnesium citrate, not looking forward to that

I know what you mean! Today is my first day of being on clear liquids. Already my stomach is growling...lol! So I'm gonna fix some broth. Be sure to keep us posted!!! You'll do fine!

Hi July sleevers, my date is also on 22nd if my bank loan is approved in time. Really hope it goes well, have started the diet (low fat in my case and just fluids for last 2 days). So excited and nervous that I can hardly breathe.

I see that there are a few who will also be going on the 22nd.

WOULD LOVE IT IF ALL OF US JULYERS CAN BE FORUM FRIENDS! it will make it easier to navigate through the same issues.

Congrats :)

Well I'm a 7/30- is that close enough :)

My date is the 30th as well. I went today for the pre op class and got pre registered, so I'm all set up and ready to go. I have been very excited today and now I'm just very tired from a very busy day. I feel bed time coming early tonite.

My surgery is tomorrow at 12:15pm. I've stocked the house, although I forgot applesauce. I have no idea what to pack for the hospital. Oh yeah I just remembered I need to bring all of my medicines and my c-pap mask. Can anyone offer any other suggestions?
