Follow A Sleever From Night Before Surgery All They Way Through Recovery

I decided that for my own therapy and to hopefully help answer questions for others I would document my Surgery Experience. That being from the night before, all the hospital details and recovery process as it happens. Some background info: I am a 31 year old married mom of 2. I work full time and I am a foster parent. I have been at least 100 pounds overweight for 15 years with a little yo yo in between. My weight tonight on my home scale is 235 lbs. I am 5' 2". I have no co morbidities I finished a 2 week diet of 2 shakes, and a healthy meal at night. I did cheat 2-3 times. Today I am on full clear liquids. Chicken broth, jello, tea, Beef Broth, ext. I was hungry but it wasn't too bad. I kept myself busy. Of course I am nervous about my sleeve tomorrow for a million reasons. I have to be at the hospital for 6 am. So it is now 9:30pm, I've taken 2 ambien and I'm off to lala land. I will check in tomorrow on the way to the hospital. Sweet Dreams Fellow Sleevers.

TWO AMBIEN!!!! I would be asleep for three straight days! LOL Good luck tomorrow, and we are looking forward to following you through your journey! :)

Good luck on your surgery. I've seen posts and videos from people that were just hours post-op, I wasn't that energetic post-op.

LuminousLife,

Congratulations and good luck on your surgery. I hope you have a smooth recovery. I am five weeks out now. I love my sleeve and have no regrets. Prayers being sent to you.
