12/2 surgery people?!

Stumbled across this app at just the right time. Have my Sleeve surgery in 9 hours. This is my first post.

I had Lap-band installed in 2013, it slipped had it removed in 2016, was supposed to do revision a few months later, but chickened out. Then after yo-yoing the last 3 years, and increasingly worsening back pain, finally decided to go through with it.

Was kinda here reading through here psyching myself out a bit. But know the benefits outweigh the fear.

Anyone else out there a 12/2 sleever? Or December at all?

Best of luck to all of ya!

Good luck on your surgery. I had my lap band removed and got the sleeve on 11/13. Doing good so far - enjoying my time off work as I took the full 6 weeks. I am down 15 pounds since surgery - not getting much exercise in yet.

Good luck!!!! We have a December surgery group going if you want to join us!

Hello Steve! I was a December 3rd sleever. Hope your surgery has gone well.

Things have been going surprisingly well for me....pain is manageable (2/3 on a 10 point scale) and I can sip 5oz of water in around 15 minutes. I'm sure the cocktail of painkillers and anti-anxiety meds are contributing...lol.
