Who’s getting sleeved this week? Share thoughts.

Hi all. I posted earlier I am getting sleeved this Tuesday and was having serious second thoughts. These boards have been a blessing because I have the confidence now to move forward thanks to some great advice and reading about the good experiences people have had and are having with this surgery and life after. Wondering who else is getting sleeved this week and maybe would like a buddy to talk to?

Honestly, not at all. I am excited. Maybe I will get nervous when it gets closer, but I don't think so. Best of luck to you! Remember- your six months in the future self is going to be so glad you did this!

Yes! I know. I keep thinking about months from now - how I will feel. Trying to keep focused on that when my emotions get the best of me. I start my clear liquids tomorrow. Thanks for the response!

My op is on the 11th! Already started my liquid diet and its going pretty okay. Still craving like crazy, but I think I can do it.

Karan you can do it. Been in liquid for two weeks. Do clears tomorrow and Tuesday is the day. Best of luck to you.

Luck to you too! Thanks for the encouragement. I had to travel for my op so I'm away from the majority of my support group. Glad I joined this forum!

Me too. I was so anxious and on the fence about my surgery this morning and then I found these boards. Been a blessing.

My surgery is Wednesday. I'm so excited! Best wishes to all of you!
