Looking for a buddy for December..am december 2nd...

Hello,

I have been reading this forum for awhile. I am going to be sleeved Monday, December 22.

My name is Cheryl, and I thank you all for your wonderful advice and support.

I started this time at 249 and I am 5 foot 2 inches tall. The heaviest I have ever been was 300 and that was about 11 years ago.

HI all, I had my surgery Dec 15th - band to sleeve. So far I have not struggled too much. I was up and walking in the PACU. Water is my greatest issue- I hope its just because my stomach is still tender but its almost like i can feel the water just hanging out in my stomach then gurgling down :/ hope that changes soon. Good luck to everyone who just started their journey and those still waiting!!!!

I had surgery the 11th and I have the same issue with feeling gurgling in my stomach. Mine does it with anything I drink :/ weird! But I can do water I just like it cold!

Had it on 14th.

@@klandes89 We had the same date.

I just had mine 2 days ago!!

Ibe had no issues so far. My liquids are a small issues but, hopefully I will have that mastered in a couple of weeks. Has pains were intense the 1st 2 days but, not so much anymore. Im super excited about how much weight I'll lose this 1st week ????

@@HairMogul Welcome to the post op side. Glad to hear things are going well for you so far.

Hi guys! My name is Ashlee. I'm scheduled for my sleeve on dec 29th. I'm really excited, but realize I have to really watch what I eat! I have 1 more week of the high protein diet then to the liquid diet.

The BIG day comes tomorrow, I am so scared and nervous. I hear good stories and then I hear the bad stories and I have not hardly slept in 2 nights ???? I can see today at work will probably crawl and tonight will probably be sleepless. I am all packed and ready to go, no backing out at this point and I don't think my fiancé would let my fear get the best of me anyway - he is amazing support.

Fuzzyangelbear good luck tomorrow

I just had mine done on Thursday and it's not that bad . It just takes getting used to. Having support is really gonna be key

My VSG is tomorrow! I started thinking about the surgery about 7 years ago but decided to wait till after having my first child... My daughter is now 5 y/o and a month ago I finally made my mind up to go through with the surgery. I'm a bit nervous but excited none the less... I can't wait for tomorrow! Thanks to all the people that have posted their experiences, they have been of great help.

Stats:

HW: 260

CW: 254

H: 5' 7"
