Good luck to you all I had mine of may 1, 2013. I was 306 as of last tues I am 200. It had been worth it. The first month is hard but once you get back to regular food you will all do great. I was having second thoughts up to the. Putting the mask on me in the OR. I woke up an hour and a half later and that was it. I love being back to what I weighted 22years ago. I a

So have a new relationship with food. I still live food but it does not control my emotions. I have broken down the fat wall and I am now living a live I want. I have Heath that is much better. I made the choice last year to not die of something stupid connected with my weight. The sleeve has been the greatest tool ever!so hang n there guys you will have some pain and discomfort but you will be happy with your journey. Best piece of advise I can say to start get a good abd binder for the first two to three weeks home. Get the doctor to order one for you in the hospital. If not go to medical supply store and get one. Really helps with the pain and positioning yourself while you are sleeping.

Well wishes to all the Veteran's day new sleevers!

My day is Wednesday, 11/13. I'm excited! I would like an invitation to the facebook group also, please - jeanz53@hotmail.com.

I'm going in tomorrow. I went through the scared stage a couple of weeks ago and finally came to terms with the surgery. I am almost jumping out of my skin in anticipation of tomorrow. Just want to get going. I've hit my 64 oz. of fluids today and working on drinking more, more, more like I was told.I know the staples are titanium...but what is the sleeve made out of. My husband asked me that last night and I didn't have a clue. Do you know?

I go in tomorrow am 7 (11-12-13) I was so nervous Sat and Sun but today totally at peace but now the excitement/anticipation is keeping me wide awake. I really need to sleep gotta get moving at 5 am. Hope all went well with ur surgery.

Today was surgery! People I feel amazing!!! No pain. I am up walking and swishing water and spit out for now. One gas pain. I got up and walked it out! Dr Alvarez you are an angel. You live up to your reputation !! I plan on following your directions completely!! Endobaritric is amazing! Don't hesitate , research well and try to find someone who you are thinking about. Talk to them. I did!!

Invite sent.. we have one other member being sleeved that date and 8 tomorrow, along with 6 the day after you.. welcome

Ok!! It went great.. So easy so far...today I get ice chips!! Walkwalkwalk!! No pain here..teeny gas pain, in back. I walked it off.

I had my VSG the same day as you. I had essentially no nerves until the night before the surgery when we stayed in the hotel connected to the hospital (to save us a couple hours on an early-morning check-in). Nerves grew through post-op.

I had my surgery 11/11/13 here in Arkansas and have nothing but admiration for the staff of the hospital. I have had bad issues with gas and nausea and am still working through them but am so optimistic about the next few weeks and the weight loss! I cannot wait to really start this journey back at work and in my normal routine.
