I get my sleeve this Wednesday (3/14/18). My thoughts and emotions are all over the place. Nervous, excited, worried, happy, depressed, hopeful, angry, hyper, exhausted. Is this normal?

I’m getting it done the same day!

I’d say it’s normal because I feel the same!

Yes totally normal! I was terrified! I’m almost a month out from my surgery and I’m down 27 pounds. Keep your eye on the prize! [emoji3] I’m not going to lie- the first couple of days for me were ROUGH but it was mainly gas pain and nausea. Once I got past that it was smooth sailing. I’ve eaten out with friends several times since I’ve been on soft foods (none of them suspected anything. I haven’t told anyone I was sleeved but my immediate family) and I’m living my normal life and routine now...except I eat a lot less food. And the best part.....the money we now save weekly on my groceries we are moving to hiring a cleaning service [emoji322][emoji322] just stay focused and look forward to what you will gain with the surgery. Take a deep breath. Say a prayer and relax! [emoji3]

So I am in the recovery room having had my surgery at 8:30 Wednesday. I totally agree that the pain and in particular the gas bubbles are harsh. It doesn’t help that the night nurse is Nurse Ratched. Just happy the surgery is done. Had a massive level 4 hernia that was discovered as well.

So glad your surgery went well!!! Wishing you a speedy recovery!!!
