Good luck to everyone having surgery tomorrow! Keep us posted on your progress!

My sleeve day is tomorrow at 1:30! I was originally scheduled for the 19th and got a call as I was leaving for the hospital saying my doctor was ill.

Going in tomorrow 5:30 AM!!!

Got the call! I show up at 6am for an 8am procedure. This doesn't even feel real!

I know the feeling! I kept telling my mom that it's not legit happening until I wake up in the recovery room.

I'm done! Resting now. I was the first of many for the day so I haven't spoken to my surgeon yet, but Ite did learn something new: apparently my body doesn't react to dilaudid (sp?) at ALL. I was in excruciating pain in recovery for what felt like hours. Turns out, morphine, a less strong drug, worked waaaay better for me. Bizarre. Nap time. I'll catch up soon.

Good luck and see u on the sleeved side..

Good Luck to you both. Wishing you both a speedy recovery. You go this!!!!

Congratulations to you both! I'm jealous!

I'm staying at the hospital one more day. I was supposed to be leave today at 11 but because I've had such nausea I haven't been able to walk and drink as much as they want me to.

Im starting to feel pretty decent but I'm glad I didn't leave as planned - I wouldn't have felt comfortable!

How is everyone else doing?

Glad to hear everyone is doing well. Keep us posted.

One major bummer about staying another day - I'm more out of my mind! I don't have anyone with me and I'm sharing a room with an elderly woman who doesn't have control over her loose bowels ????

I'm starting to walk now but I can still barely get in any Water. There's no way they'll let me leave drinking this little so I need to get my butt in gear. Easier said than done.
