So I was suppose to have my sleeve done in July but I was asked if I wanted it done June 27...well hell yeah, so now I don't have as much time to anguish over the whole surgery thing which is good.. But still getting nervous, my doctor said that having my gall bladder out last year was worse than having the sleeve done so let's see.. 9 days and counting, my dr also has me on liquids for 2 days before my surgery , anyone else have this cuz I noticed most people here have 2 weeks of liquid

Congrats on the new date!!! I just have a week of two shakes and some food like a lean cuisine or smart one. My pre-op is Thursday and my surgery is June 25th. Good luck with your surgery and recovery.

so we are in the same week that's pretty cool , are you getting nervous. I've had this weight with way too long and I can't wait to lose it even tho I've tried and tried

Not really nervous just unsure of what to expect. I have had 6 surgeries previously but they were all on my back. I don't know what to expect from an abdominal surgery. Hoping that the pain isn't to bad. I know I will have the lovely pain med button to push when I need it. I am busy wondering about what the pre-op appointment will be like. I have an appointment at the doctor's office that is 4 hours long and then stuff to do at the hospital. I have never met my surgeon before, he has quite the reputation in my area of being an amazing doctor.

That's great that you have a dr with a good reputation , that's always a good thing. The way I'm thinking about this is like when you are having a baby and you are having contraction pains, you push through the pain because when the pain is over you have a beautiful baby, well when your pain is over after having surgery you are on your way to having a beautiful body, yeah it might be saggy and lose fitting but there will be less and you will feel so much better in the long run

I'm 9 days out and I can tell you, I was in VERY LITTLE pain -- more just that gas pressure in the chest and shoulders. I had a dose of pain med the night of surgery and had regular tylenol IV while in the hospital and that was it. I never had a pain pump and would have refused it if they offered because I just really didn't have pain.

I've had c-sections and this was NOTHING compared to those. No stomach pain at all -- just a little "discomfort" when swinging my feet off the bed, stuff like that.

You can do this! Best wishes!
