Karen! It will be ok. I cried the whole way to the hospital yesterday. My husband and I have a 10 month old, and getting a serve was the largest decision I have ever made. I cried when the nurse was hooking me up to the IV etc. My hospital gave me a relaxing drug and that is the last thing I remember until being very groggy in the recovery room. I hope they do the same for you; I couldn't back out and I truly don't remember anything in the operating room! Good luck today, I know you will do great =)

Hey yall!!! I was sleeved today around 9:30 but I don't remember anything after I received my feel good meds. Not in any pain as of now. Got up and walked once so far but I'm about to get up again. I can't believe it's done, I'm still in shock! Will catch up a little later after I read the post above. Congrats to all current and future sleevers ????

Hello all - im new here and will have my surgery on Monday, October 13th in Tijuana Mexico. Im flying in from Alaska. I dread the pre-op diet, leak test and removal of the drain. I turn 38 on October 8th and this is my gift to myself. The reason for my decision is help with my pcos as i have had 3 failed ivf's already. Wishing us all a successful surgery and fast recovery. God bless you all!

I have my surgery a week after you in TJ and I am also flying down from Alaska.

Went to final pre-op appointment this morning... Have lost 3 pounds after a week on pre-op diet...I know it's not much but every little bit helps and it was cumulatively enough to lower my BMI! my pre-op allows 3 meals choice of food or shakes plus a food or shack snack up to 1200 calories. I had to turn in a packet of page after page of risk or complications that I initialed. That was a bit overwhelming but very informative because I got clear answers on everything. Write down your questions so you don't forget anything you want to ask, it helped calm my nerves a bit. Plus and big plus maybe it was the weight loss but , drum roll please ...my blood pressure was normal. Octobers we're on our way to better health!!

Hello Everyone!!

Sorry I've been absent. I've been preparing for the big day which is Friday for me. My assistant and I flew into San Antonio on the way to Peidras Negras. We are attempting to have a mini vay- cay and occupy my mind. Guess what? As beautiful as our view of the River Walk is I can only think of one think and that's my new sleeve. How wrinkled will I be when I lose weight? How much better will I feel Physically? and etc......

Anyway..... Love and support to all sleevers past, present and future. I am saying a special prayer for strength courage and calmness for all of you scheduled tomorrow. Best Wishes.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
