I am in the very early stages of the procedure (pyche eval done and first nutrition class on Tuesday) - I am excited about the possibility of getting my life back but also a little scared of the unknown. I have fought this weight all of my life and I am so tired of the fight - please tell me it is all worth it?

I am due to get sleeved on 21st October .. I live in Australia. I am excited about my journey to good health but so scared of the surgery!!!

Hi Missy, I live on the Central Coast NSW had my surgery done five days ago. Honestly I would have to say the surgery itself has been the easiest part, virtually no pain apart from those in my shoulders and under my ribs from the gas and they soon go if you get up and move around a bit. I started at 133.5 kg and am looking forward with fingers crossed for my first weigh in on Tuesday. I really am only a short step ahead of you but I am happy to answer any question I can, good luck with your op.

2 days left before surgery! I can't find enough things in my home are car to clean! Well, off to the gym and a long walk I go.

I was cleaning everything I could find Saturday to that Sunday. I made sure the fridge was stocked with plenty of things I need and my family as well! Best of luck and pray you have a painless recovery like I have had! I am just a little sore but moving around fine.

I am October 21!! In Ohio:)

I will be on Oct. 30 in oklahoma!

Scheduled for October 22, 2013 from Oklahoma, having surgery in Texas

My surgery is scheduled 10/22. I am very nervous and finding that I am eating like food will disappear on 10/22. Any suggestions for me ya'll?

My surgery is scheduled for 10/22 also! As far as food goes, I made a food bucket list! lol Probably not very wise but I want to eat all my favorite foods before surgery! I start my liquid diet on 10/15 and I'm getting sooo nervous! Good Luck to you!

My surgery is this Monday. I have killed my share of dust bunnies this week.

Surgery went very good.I'm hime today from the hospital and have nothing to complain about.

I hope your weigh in is as you want it to be. How long were you in hospital for?? I hate hospitals .. Glad it all went well for you ????

October 9th surgery, so 5 days out, and so far doing great I think. I only have one problem and that's a headache in middle of night, but I am thinking it's dehydration so I am trying to drink more during day. Is anyone else having trouble with getting in enough fluids during the day?

Hi missy I was in hospital for two nights and really the first one I was out of it as I didn't have the surgery till 2pm, I'm like you they are not my favourite place but at least it was minimal time, I have heard some dr's keep you in for a week.
