    My sleeve is scheduled for 5/7! So excited and nervous! I’ve been a longtime lurker on this site and now that I’ve got my date it doesn’t feel real!

    Congratulations! My surgery is 5/23. It's exciting and nerve wracking all in 1 but I'm getting more excited now. Yay May surgery buddy :-)

  • 5/11 over here! I'm so ready and nervous at the same time. Just keep telling myself I'll feel so much better in 6 months. I'd rather deal with some stomach discomfort than heave ho this fat through li

I'm doing ok folks. Has some pain and some nausea but they've kept me on various medications for it.

Tazo,glad you are doing well!

I’m on the 14th, so here we go! The “Oreos” diet is harder than I thought it would be.
Ugh! Stupid spellcheck! The PreOp diet! [emoji23]

I just went looking for the "Oreos" diet! Thought I was missing out [emoji16][emoji23]?[emoji2]
Yay for you! So happy for you! I am so worried about what i will feel like waking up; my surgery is today. I leave for the hosptial in an hour.
So happy you are feeling well! Your post eased my concerns!
All the best to you and your recovery!


hi Mary,
Waking up was a major fear of mine too, and it was no big deal! They asked my pain level, medicated me accordingly then called my Fiancee back to be with me.
It felt like seconds had passed since they’d wheeled me into the OR, and I was in a little bit of pain but I described it as a 4!!! They put me on a morphine drip and I’ve been pushing it often. They also out a binder around my stomach and that is helped with the pain and support as well.

You will be fine! Please let me know how you are doing and if you have any other questions. I’ll be thinking of you. You’ve really really got this!

Hi All!

I was sleeved today, about 6 hours ago. I’m feeling pretty great, I don’t feel like an elephant is sitting on me, or a ton of gas pain. I just sipped Water for the first time and it didn’t hurt at all!

So happy you're doing well and the surgery part is over. I'm leaving for the hospital soon but surgery isn't scheduled till about 6 hours from now. I'll update as soon as I can.

I’m so glad that surgeries are going well. My thoughts are with those with surgeries today.

The pre-op diet is getting easier but I’m getting more anxious as we get closer to the 14th.

I'm still mostly doing good, but did throw up a little while ago after swallowing some pain meds :( that hurt. Boo. Managed to not lose the meds though. 11pm here so going to sleep soon.

Unfortunately I wasn't able to be sleeved on May 1st as my insurance chose to deny the day before. They want me to do another three months, noting that I have followed the program and lost weight prior. So it looks like I'll be in July/September.

Hearing all the updates makes me feel so encouraged as well! I am so ready for the 15th to come!

Good luck and good job everyone!

Zoftig Girl you will like,a lot,of friends with an Oreo diet, I can't eat chocolate ones but,I used to like the ,lemon ones. If they could put them n in a bottle I might be right over. Shoot I'll even come if you have Premier Protein,on ice. I prefer peaches & cream if you're taking orders.
