October Sleevers - Who else

I got my date (October 15th) and my insurance approval. I'm excited and nervous. Who else is being sleeved in October?

Congrats and blessings to everyone that got sleeved the last few days..so happy to hear that everyone is doing well. My day is coming fast 10/30

Surgery in just 21.5 hours. ... I have to say I am not really nervous because I know that God has my back. Im actually really excited!!!

Ok so the first couple of times I had to get out of bed really sucked! It felt likey insodes were being ripped apart... some crying :( but it literally got better hour by hour. Right now its 3:30am and I can get in and out of bed. With minimal effort. I can do a brisk walk several times around the unit I can pee without difficulty I have not had any nausea whatsoever! I m getting plenty of fluids and considering what my body just went throu I feel great!

Yep, that hour by hour improvement is exactly what I experienced. Couldn't believe how quickly I felt better. First night was painful, first day I felt terrible. Told visitors not to come just to watch me vomit! I thought something had gone terribly wrong, but my surgeon wasn't worried - told me it would pass, and lo, it did. Went home the next day fit as a flea!

The swallow test this morning my me sick to my stomach! Now on clear liquids, going to stage two for dinner..and then I will,be able to go home!

I didn't have a leak test. At least not whilst I was awake - maybe they did it whilst I was still under the anaesthetic...?

I am sleeved! I have absolutely no nausea at all. ... pain os constant and tolerable. More like I did 5000sit ups...except for mytop right incision which hurts like a b***h! I finally went pee by myself and walking feela great. Hope morning is as goog

Sounds like me exactly. No nausea here as well.

I had everything built up to be the worse, that I think that's why it's going so easy. SO FAR! Don't wanna jinx myself. The swallow didn't bother me.

mine was today the morning after..unfortunately they didn't use a better tasting something! Like a flavor! You didn't miss a thing! ;-)

true that I used that button.did want to have bad pain so I pressed the button! Surgeon convinced me too!

The button for everthiing. That one incisiin in the muscle its the only one I'm having any paon at all. If it wasmt for that one area Id hardly know I had anything done. I'm being discharged in a little bit.

I'm getting sleeved at 745am tomorrow! Wish me luck and prayers! A little nervous, but nothing major. I pray all goes smoothly! I'm in ohio getting sleeved with Dr Aviv Ben Meir who I have total confidence in! Good luck to the others scheduled this month!

Best of luck and I pray you come through it as easily as I did
