April 1st Sleevers! Tomorrow is our Day!

Hey Everyone!

Just wanted to check in to see how everyone is doing? And to see what you have done so far

-Are you excited?

-Have you packed your hospital bag yet?

-Is any family going w you? If so how are they feeling?

-Have your nerves kicked in?

-Have you done all your shopping and cleaned your houses??

-What time is your surgery??!

-Have you done any spa treatments?

Well I'll go first! So I am doing pretty okay this morning I'm hungry but I'll get through it. I am very excited, not nervous at all! I have not packed yet but will be doing that toning, because I know I probably won't be sleeping. I did do all of my shopping and finished the last bit yesterday. I'm going to clean my house from top to bottom today to keep myself busy! Also I have a facial and massage booked this morning just to relax myself (did my mani/pedi over the weekend). I do have family going w me but they are not really in support of this so I don't really know how they feel... I am the first surgery in the morning so I have to be at the hospital at 6:30a !

I hope everyone has a safe surgery and a quick recovery! Please feel free to keep us updated on this post so we can help each other these next few days!

Talk to you all soon!

Brittany

    Good for you Brittany! I wish I had thought about a mani-pedi yesterday. I am excited and ready to move on to this next chapter in my life. I'm sorry your family is not supportive of your decision - b

What does the "gas pain" feel like? So I don't freak out and can recognize immediately that it's just gas pains...where are they felt?

For me the gas pain felt like heavy pressure between my rib cage above my stomach with sharp pain when I would breath. Not fun!!

SimplySharon for me, lots of rumblings in my abdomen and needing to burp alot. Sometimes gas does get trapped in your chest and it is extremely uncomfortable and can be very painful. I know it sounds gross, but pass gas often, burp frequently, and if allowed take GasX.

Wow! I love reading your stories, and so relieved you are all ok, done, and on the other side. My date is the 23rd, so the countdown app is running! I can tell you to the millisecond how far away (or close) my surgery is. I'll be checking on you all. I'll be happy when I'm not an outsider anymore!

It will be here before you know it! Just think of all of us sitting on the losers bench cheering you on! And welcoming you with open arms!

April 1st surgery here as well! I'm waiting on my Dr to discharge me. Everything went well and I hope everyone did just a s good. Let me know! I have to admit it feels weird but exciting

Really sore and in a lot of pain. Can't seem to get my liquids down, including my pain meds! I pray this gets better and I don't end up regretting this decision.

I'm feeling the exact same way. Sleeved on the 1st. Home yesterday. Pain and nausea. I felt good in the hospital. Didn't sleep much last night because I felt so awful.
