I have had 5 other major surgeries and I wasn't as afraid and nervous as I am to have this surgery. I am having a revision from band to Sleeve and my nerves are getting the best of me. I know this feeling is normal but man I think I need some anxiety pills just to get passed these next couple of days.

The day before Thanksgiving? Wow

Yes! I had my Thanksgiving dinner on the 17th and it was yummy! Now I'm on the liquid diet it's not that bad except getting major headaches.

I'm 4 days out and I was like u.... I was so nervous that I would make my self sick.............. And honestly it was not that bad........ But I did ask my doctor for medicine the day of surgery.........

I understand completely, as I am heading for my sleeve at 07:00 tomorrow morning. I know that it's the right thing to do, but it does make you think.

I am sure it's just pre op nerves and all will be fine. I have been working on mine for 3 months (supervised diet) and the last 2 weeks on liquid.

As I have read on many threads this is a life choice, and I get motivation reading how well people are doing post op and how great they feel.

My hole hospital stay was 23hrs........... I hear a lot of people getting nauseous so that's why asked my doctor before hand..... So he gave me a patch..... And so far I haven't had any.....

Thanks Everyone for replying! It's so nice to have so much support!

Cmiller, Good luck tomorrow and will send good vibes for a speedy recovery! Please keep us posted!

Totally understand...my surgery is a day before yours. I'm all flibberty jibberty. Cyber hug!!! :-)

I have just over two weeks until mine. I am terrified but excited. I'm going to Tijuana, which kinda adds to the whole overwhelming-ness of it all. I keep thinking I'll back out, but then I see the before and after shots...

Don't worry! It will be well with you if you've followed your instructions! I had mine last Wednesday the 20th...I did very well..I am so thankful! Now I am at my 5th post op day....doing pretty well....walked a bit too much today though, so I'm feeling it now. Been sipping broth, eating Jello, drinking warm milk and trying to get my fluids in (water)...it's a bit of a challenge, but I'm just talking it a day at a time....

U CAN DO THIS!

Numenow

Sleeve was done by noon today, I just just had my first walk around. Yes there is some pain and discomfort, but no more than I expected.

The op took 2 hours and it took longer to get over the effects of the sedation than I would have wished.

I am now sitting up checking mail and seeing what happened in the world today.
