It's midnight and I am pleased to say that it's been a great day. Surgery was at 11am this morning and I am 3 hours into a good nights sleep, having woken for a pee and an obs check. I'm in an altogether better than expected place. All pain is well under control and so far I have had no gas or nausea issues. I have been up out of bed and walked a little. My 30ml (water) per hour restriction has just been lifted so I'm now on free fluids and I'm even promised half a cup of tea for breakfast! ...I'm happy....

Andy810,

Congratulations on your successful surgery!

Glad to hear you are doing well.

I'm hoping and praying my husband will be able to have the surgery soon. I would very much like him to have the same positive life altering experience I have had.

Wishing you a quick recovery from the surgery.

Congratations! I can't wait to have the surgery behind me. I hope your recovery continues to go well.

Congratulations! Glad to hear it is going do well.

Congrats! Good to hear a success story, we all need those!! I'm 9 days pre-op & on liquids. Not fun but not forever so I'm just pushing thru. November 3rd can't get here soon enough for me!!!

Wyomom: please don't give up on your pre-op diet. It wasn't much fun but I was pleased when my consultant told me that he could tell I had been diligent as my liver was "nicely reduced". That rewarded my hard work.

Nope, no way in giving up! I've worked to hard to get here to give up now. One week to go for me!!????

Congrats gives me some hope!

Congratulations you will not regret having your sleeve although in the early days it can be a bit of a rollercoaster ride for the emotions.
