I am so excited that my insurance approved me and I'm set for June 11th. However I'm freaking out a little bit because now it's like HOLY CRAP it's REALLY HAPPENING!

Any other June Sleevers around? Any words of encouragement or advice?

Congrats on all of your surgeries!!! (: Mine is the 23rd of June!

Anyone else starting to get REALLY nervous? I'm suddenly all "what am I going to do when I don't have food to turn to?" It's being a hard day today.

Just home from the hospital. Surgery went well and now just need to focus on healing.

Yay!! Get some rest!

I'm getting the sleeve surgery on June 30. I'm so nervous! I start my liquid diet on June 16.

Surgery went well. More painful then I anticipated.

Surgery was a bit miserable the first day and night! I also had more pain than expected but after the first night it was sooooo much better and tolerable! I'm post op day 3 and have been shopping all day!!! You get better fast I feel great! I'm not hungry at all and I find my broth jello and Popsicles easy to get down and i stay satisfied and hydrated! Walked over a mile today! No dehydration or headaches! I'm so happy

JUNE 15th!!!

June 16 is almost here. I still can't believe I'm doing this. It doesn't feel real.

I know, right? I have been jumping insurance hoops & dealing with officious medical office personnel here in the US since March 2014. Finally throwing all caution to the wind and heading to TJ.

I can't believe it's here in less than a week!

We've got this!! ????????

Glad to hear you are healing well. I'm pretty sore but going to walk a little more today. Surgery went well but really sore now (1 1/2 days home) Trying to get the liquids in and start making shakes. Any tips for getting going?

I am right there with you @@smiranda! I am excited, nervous but most importantly ready to embrace life as a fit person for the first time in a long time! 4 days left including today!!

Stay on top of your pain meds. I've been taking tordol every 8 hours. It's a miracle drug! I literally sip Water all day every couple mins I take a sip of water or jello or broth. I was a big water drinker before I've always drank about a gallon a day anyway. This is harder though the small sips are difficult because I want to chug! I've also taken a couple lortabs at night cause I find I'm more sore at night and I sleep better. These were left over from kidney stones. But I'm 4 days out now. Everyday get so so much better! Walk as much as you can I could only do like 5-10 min on day 1 and 2 I've worked my way up to about 30 min now. It's super slow but it's moving. I figure every calorie I burn and the more I use my muscles the better! Good luck Hun. The fist 2 days are for sure the worst! It gets better everyday!

Monday is the beginning of the 2 week all liquid diet. I have been drinking one to two meal replacement drinks a day so that I can get mentally ready. Congrats to all that have gotten the surgery and good luck to those whose date is comming up.

Got my check-in time for Monday's surgery--6am! I'm sooooo not a morning person, but glad I don't have to wait around all day, being nervous.
