I cannot believe this day has come!!!!!! I am nervous and excited and nervous all over again. I can't believe that I cannot drink anything at this point...weird huh? I have waited for so long to have this surgery and the day is here. By this time tomorrow night ill be enjoying some pain cocktail and dancing in the hallways.....well maybe not the dancing part but hey... A girl can wish huh?

Good luck to everyone whose life is changing today along with mine. In will say a pray for all of us. For me I am asking for an extra dose of peace.

Ok... And a friend just had hers done today and she just told me she was catheterized!!! What the mess????? No one consulted me about this!!!!!! Uuggghhhhh

Good Luck and Happy Healing!!

Prayers for you during your surgery & to everyone involved. Angels will be surrounding you and give you a peace of mind!!! God Bless you!

Wishing you all the best! The catheterization is no big deal if they do it--they will do it while you are under anesthesia, and you'll be grateful when you are recovering. It will probably come out in less than 24 hours and it's no big deal when it comes out, either.

Prayers for you today! We are sleeve sisters- mine is today as well at around 10:40 am pst. As you can see, I'm still up at 1am...hard to sleep!

i was sleeved yesterday. no drain no catheter for me! good luck. most pain was right after coming out of recovery and getting up to use the restroom (which i do once an hour from the iv fluids! i can't stop smiling even with the pain because i am so eager for the new me!

Goodluck on your surgery!! Mine is tomorrow at 8 am! I am nervous myself!

Good luck to you! I hope everything goes well!

Good luck, we are all sending well wishes!!! Looking forward to my date!

Just an update for my wife phoenix79, all is well and she had a textbook sleeve operation. The Dr said she had the perfect anatomy for a sleeve surgery which I think translates into a successful post op experience. I think we will get to go home from hospital tomorrow. This is a much better experience then my sleeve, exactly 1 year ago. Two days in ICU and the 2 more days recovery from small complications before allowed to go home. Thanks for wishing my wife well.

Give her my best fiddle

Congrats and hope all went well! I can't wait to join you all on the Sleeved side!

Happy Healing!

Goodluck on your surgery!! Mine is tomorrow at 8 am! I am nervous myself!

Good luck with surgery. Everything will be ok.
