September 25, 201312 yr Best wishes!!! It's exciting, isn't it? Today I saw the nutritionist, then went to Walgreen's to buy Vitamins. The Pharmacist gave me this big grin and said "you are going to be so happy", and told me about her husband who lost 150 ibs and how well he is doing. Made my day!

September 27, 201312 yr At the hospital now just checked in surgery in 3 hours I can't wait because I am soooooo thirsty Had my sleeve this morning and was in a room by 9 am. Slept a little while and have dozed off & on all day but kept being woke up by various things. Have been taking tiny sips of Water and that bothers a little, but a burp soon follows and all is well. The larger incision is the only one I can feel when I move. Have been walking the floors.

September 28, 201312 yr Got home yesterday and feeling a lot better today. Getting my water in slowly and just got down a protein shake. Not near as sore today & not as much gas, so hopefully that's almost gone. Overall I think I'm doing pretty good. I'm sleeping on my back though, too much discomfort when I try side sleeping. I'm sure you will feel better as time passes. I know I do with each day passing. Good luck on your recovery.

September 29, 201312 yr Congrats to you both. I go in on Wednesday any advice? I'm a little nervous, but I know the end result will be amazing.
September 29, 201312 yr I was extremely nervous going in, but before I knew it, I was waking up in recovery. My mouth was extremely dry after surgery. I was doing well enough I was lobbying to get out the same day. No luck. Everyone's story is different, but so far mines been pretty good. Hope yours goes as well.
