Hi Everyone! This is my first post. I had gastric sleeve surgery on June 9th. (Yesterday)I am still in the hospital but so far so good! Just wanted to let anyone who is nervous what to expect my experience has been good so far. Surgery was one hour. I was in pain when I woke up from surgery but as soon as the meds kicked in I was ok. I was up and going up the bathroom a few hours later. Hard not being able drink anything the day of the surgery but got through it. Once you have your X-ray you are cleared to have some liquids... I have never been so excited to see chicken broth. Took 3 sips and I feel full! So far I am so surprised how good I feel. I'll take it one day at a time. Wishing all other upcoming sleevers the best!!!

I love reading encouraging posts like these!! My expirience was a good one as well. Wishing you great success as you follow your new instruction and begin your new journey!!

Thank you so much!

Best of luck, ill be following. I have 20 days to go!

I get my sleeve Thursday. Best of luck to you on your new journey

Always nice to hear of smooth sailing. I get my date this Thursday when I meet with my surgeon. Started all of this in February. Good luck to you!

@@Believe123 so happy things went well for you .. I saw that your surgeon was Dr Gritsus.. That is my surgeon as well (surgery date 10/19).. I'm a little nervous that he doesn't have me doing a liquid diet like everyone else seems to do.. Did you do a liquid beforehand? Thanks!
