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

Let me know how everything goes. My surgeon has an emergency so I'm still waiting. Hooked up to monitors' date=' just waiting. Prayers please! A little nervous....[/quote']

Don't be nervous! You'll fall asleep and wake up sleeved, that's what it feels like.

I had to wait too. But they put me in a heated bed, which was toasty since it is still cold here (early spring) and I read magazines. Don't be nervous. They will take good care of you. Before you know it, it will be all over :-)

Today I'm four weeks post op. I had my surgery Oct 2. I feel amazing and blessed to have done this. I never really take full body shots of myself in the past, but I had one sorta. Last night I got to shop for a new pair of jeans and for the first time it wasn't at lane Bryant or the plus size section. I've been loosing more inches this past two weeks and anyway. Was able to wear a size 12 in jeans from American Eagle! ( I actually got to buy it off the rack) I feel amazing. Heres a before and after picture. Hope everyone is doing just as good!! My face looks so thin and not two chins! Lol.

Yes! Walk as much as you comfortably can! I did at least a mile the day after I got out of the hospital, with my 81 yo dad and 76 yo mom by my side!

You look amazing! Keep up the good work!

I had my surgery on the 22nd and I don't know if anyone has had this particular problem. I have this pain in my groin area on the left side when I move my left leg a certain way. I can't make any quick movements or I will get a very sharp pain. Has anyone else experience that?

No' date=' but as a nurse, I recommend you get that checked out... It could be nothing more than sore muscles, but it could also be something more serious such as a blood clot. Best wishes, I'll be thinking of you!

Yep, definitely should get it checked.

I did that! Plenty of times! Yay for dilaudid!
