2 hours until my surgery!

I am here at the hospital and am 2 hours away from the surgery. The nerves have kicked in now - it has just been excitement up until this point!!

Looking forward to it being over.

Good Luck.. I had mine yesterday. I was up walking in an hour in recovery. I got to come home also. I haven't had to take any pain meds or felt nauseated.

hey girlfriend

according to my calculations ;) you are officially in sleeveland :)

take it slow

IF you have ANY pain, don't be shy about asking for meds

as soon as you can - get up and SLOWLY start walking around

this will help get rid of the gas

sip sip sip slowly - get as much water/liquids as you can

i see in your future - life getting better and better

who deserves it more :)

good luck

speedy recovery

@@SparkleCat

and compare notes :)

take care :)

Hi,

Thank you for all the good wishes. My surgery went well with no complications. I had a lap band removed 8 months ago so there was a risk that the scarring on my stomach may get in the way but my surgeon said the scarring was minimal so he was able to do a normal shape sleeve.

I have all IV drips removed and am sipping Water and cups of tea. They even tried me with some consume but I could only manage a few spoonfuls.

One more night in hospital then home tomorrow.

Jess
