In 24 hours I will be sleeved!!

_{Hello everyone!! I myself am a January Sleever.....my surgery date is set for Tuesday the 28th with Dr. Andrew Wu in Manchester, NH at Catholic Medical Center. I began my journey in Sept with my first appointment and now I am here, I could not be MORE excited. I am lucky enough to not have any co morbidities so I was able to move through the process relatively quickly (and for that I am very thankful). I am currently on the 'liver shrinking' restriction diet and I am STARVING!! Each day has gotten a little easier, so I am hopeful that I continue down that path.}

_{What has been really interesting to me is all the varying programs for the sleeve and what I mean by that is the programs. The length of time it takes to qualify for the surgery, different pre-op (and ultimately post op too) diets, length of hospital stays etc. In the past week I have been doing an excessive amount of research through the eyes of people who have both had and wish to have the surgery, watching YouTube videos (VLOGS), reading forums here and on facebook. All great resources!!}

_{I am beyond excited and ready to have the surgery, not nervous at all -not sure if that makes me crazy, I am just ready to get this ON! Good luck to everyone else here on their journeys, I look forward to walking this path together.}

_{Much love,}

_Heather

You r doing the right thing, I had my surgery on January 6th and I feel good you will b ok.

So excited I see my doctor for pre-op apointment tomorrow and I am excited to see what he has to say about my weight loss. And then trying to calm down the stress bugz that keep trying to pop up.

Hello I am scheduled Jan 30 @ St Luke's hospital in Phx, Az

Thanks. They really tried fast to get me an iv. The surgeon came back and saw me. Told him i was feeling wayyyy better. I ate bfast today too and just ordered lunch! Feeling great. Ready to go!

Glad your feeling better thats rough having those issues right after surgery. Last thing anyone wants to do is get sick to your stomach after having stomach surgery!

Today starts 5 days out! What a difference a few days make! Once the IV was removed the nausea subsided - thank goodness! Been sipping on water, sugar free juice and coconut water for last couple days. Everything tastes so good. Food smells amazing but have no desire to actually eat anything, so strange. Looking forward to these drains coming out tomorrow, they are so cumbersome and uncomfortable.

Good luck to all those pre-op, keep it up to all those post. Most important thing I've learned so far is to stay positive ????

bellahugz, good luck at your pre-op! Tomorrow is your big day!!

That is right I am 10days out feeling good and can't wait to see more and more improvements

I am so excited for all of us both pre and post op. I start my pre diet on Sunday. Wish me luck I am going to need it. Surgery here in Oklahoma on January 29 for me. I am excited and nervous.
