Surgery on 8/8!

[kelliev2015 136]

I'm having my sleeve surgery on August 8th. I started this journey back in December cause my insurance required 6 months of MSWL. I can't believe how fast the time has gone by! Now that I am only 2.5 weeks away, I'm kind of freaking out a little. I have no idea what to expect. I've been reading on this forum about everyone's experiences and researching like crazy so of course, I know what to expect but I just don't know how my body is going to handle it. For the most part, my body heals quickly and does what it is supposed to do so hoping this is the same! If anyone else is getting sleeved that day or if anyone has any words of wisdom that you want to share (your experience, advice, do's and dont's, etc.), I'd love to hear from you.

8/8 is also called "the lions gate." Seems almost like some kind of sign! Wishing you the best!

So excited for you! I was sleeved three weeks ago and recovery had been easy. I drank tons of Water and drank Protein as directed the first week, which I believe helped me to heal so well. Be sure to listen to your body as we all react differently and be prepared for a shot emotional crash similar to buyer's remorse. The people on Bariatricpal are nothing short of amazing and you will find what you need in all phases of your journey.
