If you are looking for extra support we have a facebook group full of very friendly caring members from this site. We have 5 members scheduled for surgery on the 11th.. if you want to join us on our journey there just message me your email and I will send you an invite. It is a secret group and not visible to others who are not a part of it.. Good luck tomorrow, healing thoughts.

Thankyousomuch!!'

Hi all, I had my on 11/11 too. Other than a terrible migraine, which I had before going into surgery, I felt great. I have been great since. Get tired some, but no problems. Getting plenty of fluids and my minimum Protein.

Today started full liquids, but until just a few minutes ago (9 p.m.), I have just had Clear Liquids. Took my kids to the park, so they could play, and I could walk the trails.

Whew! Hi, My Fellow Sleevers! I was sleeved on 11-11-13! Veteran's Day, Yay! :) My surgery went well. I was a little nervous. I'm 5 days Post-Op...No problems so far...I have some mild pain around my incision sites...I'm keeping my fluids @ a lil more than 66oz a day... :) I should be moving to pureed next week (my Post-Op appt) I'm walking about an hour or more a day...I rarely have gas pains...If I do, my Doctor gave me the Okay (please follow your Doctor's instructions) to take Gas X chewables...I use a heating pad @ night, I'm using my Spirometer religiously :), and I have a great ab binder (from my Doctor) to hold my stomach in place for coughing, positioning myself for sleep, etc...Overall, no complications... I'm feeling blessed & lucky...I hope all my 11/11 buddies are doing well.... Good luck to all the Pre-Op & Post-Op Sleevers... This is one of the best decisions I've ever made for myself! I'm ready for the good. ..the bad, and,.. the ugly! Negativity doesn't live on this block anymore!!! :) Good Night... I'll talk to yall soon...♥tammethick♥...

I am new to this forum, still learning my way around. My surgery is scheduled for the 20th at Northside in Atlanta. I'm excited and nervous at the same time. I would like to join the secret FB but cannot seem to figure out out to send my contact info.

I tried to join and managed then it blasted all overmy fb page..ugh

That's weird greersc.. haven't had that issue with any others..I'm very sorry.. it shouldn't have done that..i will look into it...now when you say your facebook page do you mean your home page or your profile page... because you can see group posts on your home page, but others on your friends list do not see them..they will see posts from their own groups on their home page that you don't see...?

If you are interested click on my user and on profile page it gives you the option to 'message' then just send your fb email and i can add you. On your fb profile scroll down left hand side and hide your recent activity to ensure group invite does not show on it :-)
