Would love to have some of you April sleevers friend me so we can follow each other along on this journey!!! Congrats to all of the Success stories out there and I can't wait to be among you!

I go in on Monday, have to be at the hospital at 6am! I've had 2 panic attacks and almost cancelled it today!! So nervous!

I got sleeved 3 days ago. I had all the panic attacks and a good one about an hour before surgery. I thought about canceling too because this was my third scheduled date but I thought of the year long process I went through and held on to my faith in God and my faith in my surgeon. I thought I would feel worse post op but I am great. Incisions don't hurt and my stomach accepted the water and protein shakes today. It does get better every day, and let me add I spent 1 night in the hospital. Good luck all!! You got this!!

I am April 10th and I feel like this wait will never end! I go from excitement to oanic attacks to excitement about 20 times per day. Trying to keep my eyes on the prize!

Thank you for sharing your story with me. I'm sorry you had the panic attacks but glad to know

I'm not the only one. I've been praying all week for God to be by my side to guide the surgeon's hands and to get me through it. Congrats on your progress! Keep us posted!

That's what I've been trying to focus on! All the clothes I'll get to wear again and the new clothes I can get plus the benefits of becoming healthier!

I'm having surgery on the 9th. I think it would be great to have April buddies too, although I have no idea how the friending system works here.

Hi April 7th here! Please friend me so we can support one another.

Hello everyone, I'm an April sleever too, on tax day- the 15th. This site has really helped me stay motivated, so continue to read success stories and know that you'll be posting one soon. So far I've kept myself busy and staying out of the 'anxiety zone' with measuring my body, weighing myself, getting hospital list together, and my diet pre/post liquids in order. I've even outlined my feet and hands so I can see if they'll shrink too, lol!! Next, I'm rummaging through my closet with plans to sell my big clothes so I can buy a few smaller sizes soon. I also want to find some recipes so I can stay on track.

What are you doing to stay motivated?

Hey everyone, my name is Kris and my surgery date is 4-28-14. I have had at least 2 panic attacks this month but I am breathing and seriously thinking about all the positives instead of the negatives. I recently was in the doctors/hospital due to my stomach hurting and TMI I know but also bowel movement issues from the hospitals report. I need more fiber in my diet. I'm scared, anxious, and excited. It's weird but I know this is the beginning of my new like. The Pre-op diet is going well. I only have to do a one day liquid dirt but I am shooting for 2 days. I've lost 4 pounds in the last 2-3weeks. It's little but hey it's an accomplishment! I hope everyone keeps in touch and we can help each other through this wonderful support system.

Thank you so much for coming back and letting us know how it went. You hear it from people who had it years ago and I kind of think it's like having a baby in that you dismiss some of the freaking out part and it seemed easy looking back. It's really good to hear from someone who just went through it and it's all fresh in their mind. Maybe it's not as bad as I'm making it out to be. Thanks again for sharing this soon after surgery. Calms my nerves.....

Surgery is Tuesday April 8th!

April 9th here! I'm sooo excited!

I am having mine April 18th and am very very nervous..lol

Hi April 15th and super excited 8 days to go

I'm April 9th. Going through all the emotions; happy, sad, anxious, scared. I'm worried about the next 2 days, can't stop thinking about it. Looking forward to it being over, maybe then a huge weight will be lifted off my shoulders! Good luck everyone!
