Hi all. Thought I would start and specific date thread so we can keep tabs on each other. I'm going to RE-introduce myself by pasting a previous post. Hope we can all get to know each other and provide support!!

My name is Sabrine and I am 36 yrs old. I am married for six years now. I've been having weight issues all of my life. Highest weight ever in high school was 374 pounds. Then I lost 200 pounds using ephedra. Once they yanked that off the shelves I slowly gained most of the weight back. Starting this journey December 30, 2013 my weight was 326 pounds. Began going to all of my doctors appointments and my preoperative tests. And I made my own personal lifestyle changes in preparation for the sleeve. Current weight is 279 pounds. My date is April 21, 2014. I have no home support for this whatsoever. My husband is against it as well as my sisters and my mother. I'm nervous scared and excited. I have two amazing kids Jackson is four and Olivia is 15 months. I'm having some serious second thoughts about this since I am losing weight and seeing results. I think I've bitched about it to anybody who will listen. Lol. Okay. Now it's somebody else's turn. What's your story???

Hey Everyone. Things went well yesterday. I went to surgery at 10am and was in my room by 2. No complications. I do have gas pains but they are not too bad. I had mt first meal today. Broth grape juice SF popsicle and water. I've only sipped a lil. So far so good. Should be able to go home tomorrow. Praying things go well for you tomorrow.

I didn't hurt much yesterday but I overdid it today and am hurting now. My sleep apnea kept me here. Or at 68 and BP just made it over 100/60. I hope everyone else is doing good.

Glad your well

Surgery went well Monday -- i went home Tue night. I did have quite a lot of has pain, up high under my sternum and haven't felt very good.

The morphine caused a rash so now I'm on some other pain med -- I can tolerate water and beef broth, I guess I'll try s//free Popsicles. Kinda feel like the flu.

Hey seattleslew. I know how you feel. I have that same pain today which I didnt hace yesterday. Im hoping it's because I slept thru a dose of meds last night. Just finished taking some meds. They took me off morphine on Monday. Whatever they been giving last longer than morphine it just takes a lil longer to kuck in. Should be going home today

Just got home from the hospital. Had to stay an extra night because of pain and blood pressure. Sore but doing ok. Never had high blood pressure before so not sure where that came from, but it came back down so all is well.

So happy to be hearing from you guys. So proud you all MADE IT!!! Keep posting! I'm sure you guys are going to do great. Congrats on making it through.

Congratulations BrendyMom! I was nervous going home in pain but waking up in my own bed made me feel better And walking/sitting up really helped the gas. Hard to eat/drink 3-4 ounces every hour - but my husband is being a good watchdog! I made myself a chart and water tally record so I can keep myself on track. Still pretty sore and bloated though I'm getting around great! Welcome home!!

I downloaded an app that plays a tone every 15 minutes. I take a sip every time I hear it
