I finally got my date for surgery!!!! So happy and nervous at the same time. Anyone else being sleeved on April 24th? I can't believe I only have two month left!

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Today is the day. Arrived in Mexico yesterday and noe getting ready to head over to ALO Bariatric. It still hasn't fully hit me yet. I decided to travel alone which is now starting to make me a little nervous in case something happens. Last night I made the mistake of reading some people's horror stories. Advice to all of you April sleevers...do not do that the night before! I started having regret about this decision. Questioned my choice. Started thinking about all the "fun" things i will not be able to do anymore. Like go to happy hour a drink 3 or 4 beers, enjoy a drink with food, eat till im stuffed. Wait...are those really fun things?! Then I remembered all of those failed diet attempts! I started thinking about new fun things that I've wanted to do but held back by my weight. Like kayaking, hiking the harder trails, going to social events, and so so much more!
So there it is...thats why I'm here. I'm going to get my life back! I'm going to be the best me that I can be! Best of luck to the rear of you! I can't wait to see all of your results. We need to create an April Sleevers tab in the post op forum:)

I find my Apple Watch much more useful than my Fitbit. It gives you alerts throughout the day if your sitting for too long, or when you have reached your goal/s. The other great thing is while your exercise you can answer phone calls without trying to race for your mobile. I am a health worker and find it great for when I'm on call. Plus that Apple Watch is easy to change the bands.

Thank you! I will be going with Apple vs Fitbit!!!

Just sleeved on 4/5. The first day was very rough and painful but things have been smooth sailing since! Little gas pain, no naseau, and no headache. Worst part is the soreness and pain on my incisions. I am also extremely tired but tonight couldn't sleep at all. Best wishes to all!

Best wished to you also

Glad you are doing well.

12 days and counting... I'm getting really excited! My surgery is next Thursday (the 20th). I start my liquid diet on Monday so I'm mentally preparing now... although I've been sick with a sinus infection the past two days. I'm Ready to begin my journey
