I am also the 21st in Houston area.

Hi all! It's been about 8 hours since surgery and I'm feeling great. I highly recommend taking advantage of any pain meds they offer in the hospital, because what I assumed was gas pain responded to thwm. I've been up walking and using the restroom and I should be going home tomorrow. Yay!

Beck gal: mine is Tues (tomorrow) at 1:30! Best of luck!

You are going to be fine! Sending you the luck of the Irish!

Mine is scheduled for Thursday so nervous and scared

Mine is Thursday as well. Not afraid, but definitely nervous. I am flying down to Tijuana for it. Hubby is coming, too. Feeling sick right now from the laxative (never had one before). Getting used to liquid diet. Fortunately, I have some yummy homemade turkey stock I put in the freezer from Thanksgiving (hee, hee, gave the boxed stuff to the family for the gravy and dressing...they never knew).

Best of luck to you mo oneal and anyone else who is getting sleeved on Thursday! We are Sleeve Bro's and Sista's! Check back in to let us all know how you are doing!!!

Thinking of you Helen in UK. Hoping you are enjoying food while you can! Have some chicken pad thai for me....I am craving it!!! Hugs to all!

Surgery is tomorrow at 12:30pm. Wish me luck!

Good luck!!!

Good lick "mo oneal" and "Violet's Mum" with your surgeries. Keep us posted!!

Well it went! They were 1.5 hours late taking me back. It actually helped me to calm down and take it all in. I hate shots and I was the most upset about getting a blood thinning shot into my belly!!

Seeing the operating room was pretty cool. Reminded me of the show my 600pound life. I fell asleep real quick.

Coming out of surgery, the nausea and gas pains are real. Take the pain meds and try to rest. They take your vitals like every 2 hours so not an easy task, but yeah. I took a couple walking stints to try to help relieve it, but the meds worked better.

I can drink water pretty easily!! That's what I was most nervous about!!

All in all, not too bad. Except for being up at 430am lol

@@Jdr24 how are you feeling after your first week? Much pain? Are you up and moving around pretty easily? I'm scheduled this Thursday so I'm just wondering what to expect the first week.

@ To be totally honest, the first week is a roller coaster. The first day or two your just feeling out of it from the anesthesia and pain meds. Once you get home you rest much easier. Pain all depends on you I hear a lot of times it didn't hurt at all for people. Me being a 30 year of guy I was expecting it to be painless HA! I was wrong though it wasn't sharp pain it was a general sense of soreness at the incision areas. I'm a week out and barely was able to sleep a night laying in bed. Walking around isn't a problem at all not even day of surgery, your biggest friend will be your abdominal binder keeps the area nice and tight so you can move around.
