Hi everyone! My name is Nicole. I live in broward county florida and will be having my surgery Friday by dr. Wizman. I am super psyched and a little nervous. Reading all of your posts is definitely helping. Good luck to all and congrats to others.

Where in broward are you? I am in Davie. Had my procedure with dr Sosa

Good luck!

I am having surgery on Friday, too (with Dr. Garcia). Let's keep in touch!

I'm having it this Thursday 7/25 and I'm super scared and nervous! I'm a baby when it comes to pain

You can not top me when it comes to being a baby with pain. I am the biggest baby out there when it comes to pain, and my hubby tells me all the time that I am allergic to pain. If I can have a painful c-section and a sleeve and survive? Everyone out there and their kid sister can do it and survive too. Don't worry, you will be more than fine and if you can't take the pain then take the pain medication. Good luck

Lol! I'm just curious as to what kind of pain will I feel? Like after an ab workout where your super sore or like a big truck punched you in the stomach? Did you have a "draining tube" or something to help you go to the bathroom? What kind of pain medication did they give you for when you went home? I know alot of questions I'm sorry I'm just super curious

I had surgery on Friday (7/19) and the first day I had really bad gas pain. But the second day it was gone and the only pain I was dealing with is the pulling at the belly button. I am currently not taking any pain meds. I had no drain tubes and no catheter. Best of luck!! The hardest part for me was drinking the first day. Now I'm going better.

Thank you so much! I keep hearing different stories so wanted to know alittle more. Have you lose any weight since Friday?

I haven't gotten in the scale. I'm waiting till I go in for my follow up on Thursday.

Good luck!!! How are you feeling 3 days post op? I'm planning on returning to work that Tuesday(7/30) so I was wondering if there was still pain or anything out of the usual? I work in an office sitting all day so I figured I'd be ok

Good Luck!

I'm feeling good. The only pain is the tugging feeling in my belly button. I'm taking 2 weeks off from work. I think it's going to be the best two weeks ever!!!

Hi There everyone! 5 weeeks post op. Doing great. How is everyone else doing?
