The night before.....

So tomorrow 19:00hrs 9/13 is sleeve day.

Pre-op diet went well...lost around 20lbs in the two weeks. I'm motivated, I have had a word with myself and we agreed we are ready and excited about the future. No second thoughts.

However crapping myself with the magnitude of the next 24 hrs.

So this time tomorrow I will be post op and on my way to a better, healthier wardrobe... I mean life .

Thanks for the support from contributors here on the forum. Long may it continue. I look forward to sharing my before and afters at some stage ...!

See you on the other side.

Well it's the morning after!

JOB DONE st 8pm UK last night .

I feel good or maybe it's the morphine. I was in ICU for the night but am now sat up drinking Water and having a cheeky laugh with the staff.

So far so good!

Just wondering why you were placed in the ICU? Was there a complication?

We agreed with the surgical team in advance that due to potential sleep apnea I should have close observations. Added benefits of monitoring has contributed to me coming home after just 20hrs!!

So far I have had no issue and been able to keep down milkshake, water, beef Soup.

I'm bracing myself for a couple of days of pain as the operation takes its toll.

It's done now the only way is down ( in clothes size) feeling really positive about the future. Building my NSV list.

Xx
