Anyone else scheduled for January 2018? I have my surgery scheduled for January 11. I'm having to wait until next year because I had a stent put in back in December 2016. The anesthesiologist won't sign off until I have had the stent for at least a year and am able to come off of Plavix for the surgery.

I am a January 22 sleever!!

me too

I just had mine on the 9th!

Hi, all- I am one week out today from my sleeve last week and just want to send my support to everyone who is still waiting. I am feeling terrific today- really good. The first few days were hard (I had lots of nausea) but quickly got much much better. I was pretty terrified of this surgery before I had it, but now I am already grateful. Down 24 pounds since preop diet, which I think is pretty great! Also just feeling content with the decision now that it’s done- I keep feeling surprised that I still feel like myself- I don’t know what I thought was going to happen, but I’m so relieved that I feel pretty normal by this point, and the only difference is being a tiny bit sore and having to take a half an hour to eat a Greek yogurt [emoji4] Getting all liquids and protein in, and feeling so much better. Just wanted to send reassurance to any people who like me were absolutely scared out of their minds. All will be well!


Surgery Date: January 8, 2018
Sleeve Gastrectomy

Thank you so much for your post! I am having surgery tomorrow morning at 7:30. I can’t believe it’s already here! A little nervous but your update gives me hope!!

I had my sleeve done on Thursday, Jan. 11th. Today is the first day I am feeling much better and starting to get hungry a bit and am tempted to eat something real. Still some pain but definitely better overall. I would love to join a group of all of us together that are about in the same part of the process.

I wanted to chime in. My surgery was on the 9th and at almost a week out I am feeling pretty good. I lucked out by not having any nausea, the worst part for me is the pain from the incision. I am managing with just ibuprofen and concentrating on protein and liquids. The weight is coming off and the energy is coming back. Good luck everyone it just gets better!
