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.

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

I'm 35/M/CO.

DOS: 399
GW - low 200s.

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.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
