Finally have a date!!! Woohooo! Dec 18th I will be sleeved. I plan on traveling by car to see my family for Christmas (I will rest comfortable in the passenger side as my husband drives). This is assuming no complications and I feel up for it. Other than stopping frequently to get out and walk, and liquids, I am a bit worried. Anyone else getting sleeved mid month and planning Christmas festivities still?!

Fortunately we are military and won’t get to see our family for the holidays. This makes holiday plans so much easier and less stressful for us. I am on my liquid diet right now and will be for thanksgiving but I am not too upset.

I’m getting sleeved the 18th as well!

I am getting my sleeve December 11. I had the Lapland removed this past July. I thought I would be good to sit around and rest, even sew afterwards. However it hurt to much to sit upright in a chair for about 7 days.

Make sure you can lean back in the car seat. You will be uncomfortable sitting straight up.

Good Luck!.

My sleeve is scheduled for dec 19. I’m nervous about all the holiday food and drink and cheer. I will be on pre op diet for most of the friend gatherings. I think I’m just not going to go which sucks. I keep trying to remind myself I’m just missing one holiday season and how much better the holidays will be next year!

I’m December 18 too!

December 18th...too!

Good luck tomorrow @depressed_banster and@Trishe70!!!

Good luck tomorrow @depressed_banster and[mention=329566]Trishe70[/mention]!!!

You too...we got this! New us in 2018!

I was sleeved December 11 and plan to visit family for Christmas. It’s obviously going to be uncomfortable to sit there while they eat their delicious meal and I am sipping sipping sipping. But I have to function in this world and know everyone else needs to continue with their lives how they want to. I can say that a few times this week while my daughter was home with me, I had some strong urges to eat what she was having. She was hiding in the other room so I wouldn’t see her eating. I got her to come out because this is something I have to live with the rest of my life. I can’t expect to not be around my old favorites for the rest of my life to avoid cravings. Good luck to all of you new and upcoming sleevers. It was a challenge to get through this first week so far but everyday it does get better.

I’m also tomorrow. Good luck everyone!

Hope everyone did well!! I am sore but pain levels are manageable. A bit naesaus when I sip water. Do also repaired a hiatal hernia while in there, so that is one of the more painful areas. Hoping to go home today...

I had bad nausea and terrible pain yesterday all day, but now I’m only nauseous when I sip water. I’m gna get up and walk in a little bit so I’m sure I’m going home too. Congrats! Glad to hear you’re doing well
