I made a group called "December 2016 Sleevers!" I would love for everyone who has a surgery date in December to join! lets be a great support system for each other and go on this journey to a better us with great friends. Share our success and failures along the way, cheer each other on, wether you already have support from your family and friends or from nobody at all like I've unfortunately seen from some, lets make sure we definitely have each other to lean on! btw they say you normally gain weight around the holidays, are we crazy?! haha

In less than 48 hours, I'll have gone under the trocar, as it were.

So excited and nervous and looking forward to never having Jell-O again as long as I live.

Today's the day!!!! Four hours until my sleeve surgery. I didn't sleep worth a hoot. Awake every hour, but I think that's probably expected. Developed laryngitis since Sunday night. Nurse said it won't be a problem. Praying my doctor is of the same thinking. My throat is already sore. The breathing tube will probably add to that soreness.

Question: Did everyone have someone with them after they returned from the hospital? Is it a necessity?

Good luck!! I'll say a prayer for you. The breathing tube will make it worse, but only for a couple days. It's not too bad once you can start sipping on Water. And yes, I'm married and so my husband was home with me. My mom stayed too to help. You don't HAVE to have someone, but it's best if you can because if you're too sore to get up and get things, they're there for you. Although you definitely need to get up and walk! and you also shouldn't bend over. So if you drop something, they can get it for you. But if you'll be alone, I'll sure you'll do great! Keep us updated

Can anyone tell me how to become a member of a locked forum? Im trying to add myself to Arkansas sleevers

I had by bestie with me for one day and have been on my own since. Better if you do as much for yourself as possible (other than lifting). And walk walk walk... it really makes a difference.

UPDATE: This morning's surgery was cancelled due to my laryngitis. Rescheduled for January 3rd. I am beyond disappointed, as you can all imagine.
