i do not have MS, i can't tell you other peoples experiences

but i wanted to respond to your post

i see you are a newbie

WELCOME WELCOME to SLEEVELAND

you on your way to a healthier, happier, longer life

who deserves it more??

you will probably experience many different emotions between now and surgery

excited. happy, nervous, scare, anxious - maybe 2nd thoughts

these emotions are common to many who are about to enter "sleeveland"

you chose the sleeve, so you are definitely a smart cookie

i'm sure you have already/or plan to talk to your surgeon about MS and the sleeve

he can help you with questions and hopefully ease your mind

maybe your doc has a former patient that had MS

first hand knowledge would be helpful/ great

i'm sure you have done plenty of research about the sleeve

read this board thoroughly

wonderful people here

you'll read lots of good questions and great answers

you "might" find some questions you were thinking of too

there is also a search button in the top right hand corner

good luck

speedy recovery

Hi JM!

I have MS, (relapsing remitting) my surgery is scheduled for February 3rd as my last two surgery dates were cancelled due to a bad relapse back in July. I had very bad vertigo and went numb on my whole left side. Did two rounds of steroids to calm the inflammation of the nerves but I am doing fine now. I see your surgery is tomorrow and wish you the best of luck as I will say a prayer for a quick recovery and relapse free. The MS will not kill you it is just very unpredictable which sucks. My trigger is stress as I found that out 4 yrs. ago when I was first diagnosed. We can talk more once you recover. I think this surgery will provide more benefits to us that have this chronic disease as I am looking forward to becoming more energetic and healthier. God Bless!

I have MS as well, and I am working on starting all the evaluations. I haven't spoke with my Neuro yet, but I am sure he will be supportive. My family is worried that having surgery will cause a flare (RRMS as well) and I'll be in more "trouble" than just recovering from surgery. I hope both of you had successful surgeries.
