You have come this far and should be very proud of what you have a accomplished thus far. I'm 9 day post and so proud of myself. Your fears are natural, I felt the same way. Good luck

Just home from my getting my sleeve yesterday. Severe pain right after surgery but they got it under control quickly. My worst problem was gas pain but walking and a heating pad helped that immensly. So walk a lot and sip, sip, sip! Good Luck!

It's totally normal to be afraid okay. But let your head rule this decision and then believe in your heart. You are headed towards your new life! There will be this procedure that you can think of as a rite of passage to this new life. You're shedding the weight that no longer serves you and to do that, you must breathe one moment at a time, follow the instructions and have faith. Take yourself to that O.R. when they call your name and smile for it all begins here. This is a minimally invasive procedure that they have MASTERED over the last few years. You will be fine.

Stay positive, I know what you are feeling. My pre-op July 23 sleeve on

Aug 6.Before everyone knows it the holidays will be here and cold in the north.

We will all look back at our sleeve date and say it was worth it !!!!!!!!!

Good Luck my thoughts are with you.

I am 48 days out and have lost more than 64 pounds. Best thing you can do for yourself. It nobody fault but ours for being fat. But you are doing something about it. Get into good habits as soon as you get sleeved. it will seem easy after a while. Even after 48 days if I eat two or three ounces of food quickly i will be seeing it again a the bottom of the toilet. You will feel real awesome when the other sex will start noticing you more. it does amazing things for your self esteem. No fear its worth all negatives!!! Good luck and stay strong!!!
