I finally have my surgery date (8/14) and I am beyond excited. Looking for some sleeve buddies to go through this process with. I have been making changes already and so far so good. I have increased my activity level and stopped drinking Diet Dr Pepper, which was a huge change for me. What is everyone else doing to prepare? Does anyone who is post op have any helpful tips for things to have on hand after surgery?

I survived!! Came out of surgery with no complications. It didn't seem real until I was actually in the OR. Ive got a ton of pressure under my collar bones. Its the gas. And of course my incisions hurt, Other than that pain I'm good. Easier than expected but ive been sleeping a lot. Wishing for a speedy recovery to all the other 8-12-13.sleevers

Awesome i go next wed... Where at?

Well I made it through surgery and my first night! Just really tired but I've been doing my walking and breathing and they have me sitting up and sipping broth. One question for those others did you have an indention in you tummy?

I'm really tired too. Ive been sleeping off and on throughout the day. My husband and mom told me my stomach looks smaller already. Like an indentation, but we found out after the survey that I a hurnia that he had to repair so I'm guessing that's why.

Glad you're doing good I had a hernia but it was a haiatl hernia it goes away once I lay flat

I just had surgery Aug. 8 and feeling actually pretty great I thought it was goes to be alot worst pain wise. Hardest pain for me were the gas pains. But now im experiencing them a lot less now. And I found that warm liquids ( broth ) were alot easier to go down than lets say jello....!! Good luck to all!!

I'm in Cali. Had a great surgeon. Great staff. Ive heard this before but I didn't really believe that we'll gain weight after surgery... I gained 5.3 lbs. In less than one day! All the IV fluids...
