Looking for some October buddies so we can have moral support and stuff (i.e. exchange numbers and instagrams if you want). I have my surgery date 10/16 and am currently on day 5 of liquids. I already spoke w/the anesthesiologist from the Hospital the other day and just need to be told what time to arrive. Also from S. Florida!

I am having surgery 10/20 in Louisville, KY. Good luck to you.

I, too am seeking a buddy to go through the process. i jst recently decided to consider the sleeve. I live in St. Louis and want to meet sometimes and talk about it.

I have mine on this thursday like you, don't worry we're almost day, and we'll be good after it. Remember focus on the end result not the process.

Best of luck! I have mine on 10/27 in Long Island, NY. Im really nervous.

Thank you everyone! I'm nervous too lifeafterfluff but everything should be fine for you and me

Hi all, I had my sleeve done yesterday 10/15/14 and feeling ok. The surgery made me feel tired all day also I

suffered from nausea but nothing major, they said it's normal. My journey now truly begins... Good luck everyone and keep us posted.

@@AngelaE So glad to hear your doing well! Can't wait to get mines done. And to see all the october sleevers progress. Im scared of the gas pains after surgery. How was it?

Surgery done last thursday (10/16) everything went well, some pain (of course) first two days at the hospital and now at home pain has gone, except for cramps that come and go, which I've been told are normal. I won't weight until finished the first week. It's very hard the first days on Full Liquid, although you don't have any hunger psychologically its a stress but manageblable. I hope as days pass by and I progress into the next steps everything will be fine. No regrets at all, already feeling good.

Here's my ticker

Hi all,

This morning I decided to weigh myself and got a shock, kept jumping off the scales and back again, just to make sure the scales were working properly. It would appear I've lost 11Ibs. This put a big smile on face.... I'm so ready for this journey and the challenge.

Lifeafterfluff - What's your surgery date?

It has been a week and a half since my surgery on the 16th and I feel great by the day. Very bored about the Full Liquid diet but i just need to relax a couple more days to get to the next stage that i know will be much better. Lost 33 pounds since pre op diet.

I'm Oct 16th too! I'm eating mushed up carrots in my soup now.

I would like to be added to the group as well!
