Just looking to connect with other sleevers starting out around the same time and to learn from those who have been through the process and maintaining their weight loss.

Welcome! Look around, read all uou can, and best wishes for a great surgery and recovery! (No sleeve advice as I had gastric bypass!)

I was just sleeved 2 days ago on the 3rd. It’s been an experience, but a good one!

We’re getting our sleeves on the same day! I’ve been on liquid diet for 8 days now, I’m looking forward to just it being the day finally! Do you feel ready?

I’m doing great. A little stiff in the torso today. Lots of reflux but it passes pretty quickly. I think in another week my incisions will feel better. But I haven’t reached over a 5 on the pain scale.

Im struggling getting fluids in but I’m trying. How are you doing?

I find myself on a bit of a roller coaster at the moment--some times I feel completely ready (and my hospital team has been great), and sometimes i feel a little overwhelmed, and other times completely excited! How about you? Ready?

@labgoddess I can’t figure out how to quote/reply directly in mobile (very new to the forums and also not a whiz at technology 😂). That’s basically how I feel too!! But I’ve done 9 days on liquid now, so right now I’m just ready for it to be done and not have to do any more waiting! I’ve gotten all my prescriptions and I’ve stocked up on Protein Powder and Jello for when I get home after the procedure but still a little nervous! Can’t believe it’s only a few days away now.

I'm having the bypass on the same day My surgery date was originally set for June 6, but I got a call Thursday that my surgeon had a cancellation, I'm so excited! Not nervous at all, super ready!
