Ohh boy this just got real I'm 12 hrs away from getting sleeved now that I'm off work and think about it it's gonna be hard to sleep tonight hopefully my Detroit Tigers win it will keep my mind off my impending surgery

Sleeved this past Monday 10/07/13, released yesterday. Moderate discomfort, walking in uncomfortable but a must, love my Percocet, and trying to stay on top of drinking. Kept an extra day for not taking in enough fluid which I'm finding hard to do. Incisions look great.

Wow you were in the hospital for a while. My Dr said I could go home the same day if I wanted to.

10 days til I'm sleeved now . 4kilo loss on pre op diet so far. Been on it 4 days. I am soo excited but scared of the actual surgery !

ditto! Excited and getting over a cold! Can we say I don't want any roadblocks!! Yes I'm so ready and yet if I go to pre-op sick I will be frustrated! So staying warm! And the liquid diet is easy and a big help with this cold!

My surgeon keeps patients for 2 full nights. It'll be a vacation for me!

As the countdown to liquid diet gets closer and closer; my anxiety gets higher and higher even though I know everything will be fine. I just can't wait for this to be over and to hear family say how much weight I lost at the Christmas get togethers.

My sites are in different places- one on each side of my belly button, one teeny one just at my bra line in the center of my upper abdomen where they said the liver retractor was, one to the far left of my abdomen, and my JP drain right next to it. They all have dermabond on them and the JP has steri strips on it they put on yesterday.
