Any January 2018 Sleevers?

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.

Mine was the same for week one then the second week was 2 shakes, one high protein meal. I “mostly” did it. Good luck I’m 8 days post op and feeling great 14 pounds lighter.


Good idea! Thank you, I think I will! [emoji175] my surgery is Monday and I cannot wait! I am having my gastric band revised to a sleeve. I just got these adorable pillows in today just in time for my surgery! I’m going to be using them as stomach pillows for when I need to cough or sneeze or laugh.

Those are so cute! You will do great! My surgery was last Wednesday. I weighed 254.2 the day after. Today I weighed myself and I’m down to 242.6! Not bad for one week.


Those pillows are darling- where did you get them?

They’re from a person on Etsy. She hand makes them and will personalize them with different faces and whatever you want to put on the back, name, surgery date, etc... and they come in various colors. I love them! [emoji5]

Had my surgery on Monday afternoon. I have so much heart burn it it rough trying to drink? I can deal with the pain but the heartburn is so bad :( .

January 22 for me can't wait. Have been going through the process for 6 months. My husband and son are both sick all week hoping I don't catch it before the big day ! Have a little bit of the sniffles [emoji20]


I also went the 22nd. I'm home. Got home Around 4 yesterday. I'm here alone and pretty sore. I'm having trouble with water and this swirling thing that happens in my abdomen (don't know how to describe it). I'm scared to take the Percocet prescribed for fear of nausea. I'm starting to sip a protein shake. I'm on clear liquids 1 week the. Regular liquids for. 4. How are you feeling.
Sorry sounds like a ramble
