April 2017 sleevers?

So my surgery is set for April 19th. I can't believe how fast my 6 mo. requirements went by! [emoji3] I start my 2 week diet on April 5th and pre op meeting on 4/10. Any other April sleevers in the house?[emoji2]

Yes. Two days away. I'm as nervous as a hostage... I'm on my liquids. So I choose to stay home instead of going to dinner at my in-laws..

I go in tomorrow at 8am! For those of you who already had your procedure this month,how are you doing?emoji2.png

Hi. I had my surgery on the 10th. Now 8 days out, I'm feeling better and better. Had a lot of nausea the day after and no one likes to feel that...however, I walked as much as I could and kept reminding myself "this will pass." And it does! I wasn't too sore just took it slow. Walk, sip water, rest repeat. It's amazing how much better you feel each day. Best of luck to you and take it slow and steady.

I'm 6 days post op. I'd been feeling pretty good the last couple days but feel like I went totally backwards today. Bad stinging pain in my indented incision. Really hope to turn the corner soon.


I'm having my surgery 4/18/2017.. i'm excited but nervous. i still haven't told my husband:51_scream:. i think i will tell him tomorrow night after we get home from the Easter celebration.. he cant hold water and i don't want him telling anyone:220_monkey_face:. i don't think he'll be that supportive either. But, I'm not doing it for anyone other then myself. [emoji4]


Mine was on the 18th. How are you doing?

It was postponed until 4/ 25.. I'm disappointed. I was ready, physically mentally and emotionally. Now I can't seem to get it together... How are you doing?

My surgery went well. (4/19) First day was rough with nausea from the anesthesia and horrible gas pains! It gets better each day though! 3 days post op and I feel so much better[emoji2]. All the gas pain from surgery is gone. The only pain I'm having now is from two of my incisions. But it's not too bad[emoji1474] The first two days my pain meds were a God send! I don't have any Gerd or anything...in 3 days I'm down 8 pounds so far[emoji3] My wonderful surgeon was Dr. Lufti at St. Joseph's hospital in Chicago [emoji3]


I had mine 4/19. I way, way under-estimated the pain and nausea though. Yesterday on day 3, I was having a mini pity party wondering why I did this to myself. Today day 4 has gotten better but I still feel really weak.
