Interested to see the awesome group that will be going through this journey with me at the same time. Please reply so that I can follow your journey as well. My last weigh in is on April 15 and surgery date will either be May 11 or May 18.

I'm May 26th! Any other Massachusetts sleevers? I've got some nerves about just having surgery in general but I'm excited! Also, anybody under 24 or so getting the sleeve soon? It's weird for me to be getting it at 23 when I haven't met anyone else as young who is!

May 26 for me too. Almost here!

It's so close! I'm freaking out and trying to distract myself so I don't totally panic. I'm excited though.

@@kimby1029, where are you getting yours done?

At Scott and White hospital in Temple, Texas

Good luck all of next weeks sleevers.. Your docs are all hopefully rested from the long weekends..

26th also and very nervous. I know it is the right thing but still seek to wonder. Cold feet I guess.

kimby, s&w took great care of my dad there in temple. Great facility.

Thanks! Great to know!!

Hello May Sleevers! I was sleeved on May 19th, I also did away with pain meds except Tylenol which helped just fine for the first day or so, walking helps relieve the gas pains. I also find it hard to get the full 64 oz of water but getting more in each day. Yesterday i got in 60 oz, I was so proud of myself. I find that hots go down easier, and mornings are the roughest but once you start drinking it gets better. The night I was released my pressure got really high, but they took me off my blood pressure medicine, so I called my doctor and he said your body just has to adjust and put me back on them for now and I am doing great. I do recommend rolling down your underwear or getting hip undies for mine were laying in my creases where my incisions are and that did cause some discomfort yesterday, at first I thought I did something in my sleep, but now I roll down my pants below the belly button and o boy what a difference. My follow up is on June 5th, trying not to weigh myself until then! I get to start full liquids tomorrow, so excited.

My surgery is May 26, tomorrow and am on clear liquids now. I think green sugar free jello is so bad. Way to sweet. I guess it will be broth all day. So glad to be getting this done. At times I wonder if I have made the right decision. I am sure I will regret it later in the week. But will try to keep my eye on the prize. The prize being a healthier, happier, thinner me.

We are kindred sleevers Navy! I am tomorrow too. We will do great!

Good luck to everybody else going in tomorrow! I'm having a little cold feet, I've never had surgery before and it's scary, but reading this site has helped me get even more excited. My doc didn't make me do clear liquids before, but my dinner tonight will be a nice broth.

Sleeved on the 20th... I have to say since surgery- its been going by with a blink of an eye.... each day is a learning experience (hot drink, cold drink, too fast, too big of a spoonful...). I was crazy nervous up until surgery (even laying in pre op)...but I am so glad I did it. What a crazy ride this has been.. looking forward to each day!

Awesome! Any post-op suggestions, @@rowebaught? For diet, pain management, anything?
