I am having the sleeve.

Hi! My date for sleeve is in two days - July 14. I'm also told the stay should be about 2 days. I'm in your same boat wondering what I should take, apart from the incentive spirometer which they gave me at the pre-op and told me to bring with me to the hospital.

How did it go? I had surgery 6/10/14. It was easier that I anticipated!

it went well! No complications with the surgery, only minor pain for a few days. the hospital stay went very quickly, which was especially welcome. I've lost 30 pounds and am stalled since the second/third week, which is frustrating but still 30 lbs. in 60 days is unheard of in my past weight loss efforts so all is good. I'm struggling to get my exercise in because another doctor I have and medicine I am taking make my body unable to sweat properly. I'm in southern florida so finding a time when its either not ungodly hot or raining (hurricane season) is tough.

how is it going for you?
