I'm so nervous about my surgery. I'm getting the sleeve and I haven't seen very many people on here over 300lbs who are getting the sleeve. I've lost almost 100lbs on my own in the past, but I always gain it back. I know how to eat well and I have a fantastic support system and trainer, but I still worry that I will fail. Has anyone over 300lbs had success with the sleeve?

Hang in there it is all such a distance memory so quickly. I am just over 3 weeks and I barely remember not being able to drink, struggling to get liquids etc. Yeah eating food is still a challenge other than 2 or 3 oz's at a time but I think that's the idea

You are doing great.

I know abut the food and said chew chew and still hard on me eating it is purée food so I'm not going eat do food until talk to my doctor

These incisions are on my nerves more than anything! Gah. Lol

So I was reading an article today and it mentioned that you'd be more irritable. I took that to mean that my attitude would be all b*tchy.... I've found that, that isn't the case at all. Small things bug me like dry skin on my lips, or the way my feel feel with no lotion, or even my pillow not being in the right position. Things that probably wouldn't have irritated me as much before the surgery.... ok maybe dry lips wouldn't have. LOL

Glad your home and doing better. Don't cheat, don't push the limits, talk talk talk to your NUT or surgeon if anything seems odd or uncomfortable. Reach out anytime on here as well. Everyone is willing to help.

Glad you did it! Glad your OK!
