All those flavors sound amazing!

so many getting sleeved tomorrow! good luck to you all. Update us when your out

great job!

congrats !!!!!!

oh oh oh!!!! i didn't read it in that context!!!!! thats funny lol

oh no i wont. shes on her own lol as far as my little boy.... his mom knows the deal. doc says i can lift anything after a month but for that month i can't. so sept 8th we'll be good. and i think hes back to school then. hes 67 lbs but i do more of a transfer then a lift with him. Its just this old lady im worried about because friday she was acting like she couldn't do anything. If thats going to happen ill need another month off

huh!?!!?!? lol

omg thats so funny. i got the visual of the bed shaking lol cracking up. I don't think i would have seen the humor at 4am either !!! LOL i started laughing out loud when i read that.

I'm having mine done in south carolina, I have 2 weeks there. I get surgery on the wednesday, and the following thursday is my post op appt. So ill have almost 2 full weeks. (i go back to work monday) but....if im not feeling up to it, i'm going to do half days. I guess it all depends. I do home health care...My first patient is an elderly lady....If by that point shes as bad as she was this past friday and I have to lift her, i wont be there!!!! my second is a little boy and his mom will be there to lift him for about a month (i set it up so he's home the 4 weeks after my surgery so i wont have to lift him at all. ) Most of my job is pretty easy and i can sit and relax. my elderly patient knows im having surgery but they're kind of mean. So if im feeling like i can't do it, im not going to lol. my body...and my 8k + for surgery come first. Not waking up of course... the catheter the endoscopy having a leak throwing up... i hate throwing up to begin with and i heard it hurts bad if you do it right after surgery.

You may want to invest in a tablet before you leave lol they're like 80-100 bucks for a cheaper one . I'm going to have that in the hospital with me. My boyfriend got me one for xmas i use it when i dont want to take my computer. jjust for emailing and stuff. I didn't know they had a sample pack!!! is this on their website?

I know some doctors (like mine) that want you to do a 2 week liquid protein shake diet....thats it. (although i think i can have sugar free jello) But then a guy I met on this forum can have chicken and steak and pretty much an atkins life style for those two weeks. So i dont think you'll do TOO much harm...JUST DONT DO IT AGAIN doc's want you to do it for a reason...so i guess we all should stick to the plan! good luck everything will be fine

oh man that sucks i'm so sorry. I would be fuming.

LoL It's starting to feel real now. I just hope everything goes as planned! I got a condo on the beach so hopefully if i can get in and out of the chair after surgery....or off of the beach...I'll be able to get some sun on this ghostly body of mine. Mexico is going to be amazing for you ladies! It'll be like a honeymoon! Lets hope the pain isn't too bad and we can all enjoy our selves and not be in pain the whole VACATION! Then again. I'd take the "little bit of pain" *yes wishful thinking* and no work....over work any day...(especially this week, it was pure hell!!!)

congrats !!! and yes...before and afters of the fetus flaps . hahaha! just found that one.

you know, i've been told that a couple times...never believed it til this very moment lol how you doing "8.23" ? lol My ticker changed from "2 months" to " 1 month 30 days" today and i almost cried.

I can't believe how much the thread has grown. Theres so many of us. So I compiled a list of all of our dates. So, we can keep track of eachother. I will revise it as we get more posters. If you said you have a middle of august date, or hope to be sleeved in august I have not added you yet. Let me know when you have a date and I will add you Welcome to my OCD !! Congrats all, So glad to be taking this journey with you all!!

Haha, i think you better get ready...your running out of time! I've already started packing.....like 3 months ago lol my suitcases are sitting in my guest room . Congrats!! Where are you having your surgery??? Congrats to you as well Great tips! I hope you posted these tips in the mexico surgery forum as well. I'm sure that would help a lot of people. I'm having mine done in south carolina ...i've already asked if i can bring my favorite pillow. I NEED it !!! lol and my gas-X strips are packed....even though doc says his patients typically don't have gas pains...they have nausea....not sure why this is but im taking them anyway!! And, if anyones having nausea my friend suggested "sea bands" from CVS...its a bracelet that hits pressure points and stops the nausea..They use it for car sickness, sea sickness, even chemo.

Congrats!!! I think we're all nervous...But we'll get past that at some point ( i guess after the surgery lol) Congrats!!! I hope your ready, no turning back now

lol roast beef curtains!!!! im on the phone with my boss and i started laughing (and shes pissed....not at me... but shes venting and i laugh lol)

I would love to see the whole list of slang terms you all came up with!!!!

I hope it flys by! my original date was september 10th and i changed it to august 8th so that shed a month off of my time ....but honestly i feel like it has kind of flown by. Before you know it we're all going to be posting "I'M GETTING SLEEVED TOMORROW!!!" so excited to post those words!!

LoL you guys took it to a whole new level!!! I was just talking about the outter "girth" not the "inner goodness" <---lol still cracking up at the poster that said that lol!!! But it turned into that, and i've been laughing ever since. i love it!!!! haha. I've had the crappiest couple days and im so glad its friday, but turning on my computer and clicking on this forum just brightened my day !!!!

Congrats on your date! your two days after me I kind of know what to expect, i've been in constant contact with some fellow posters that i've become close friends with so they're kind of letting me follow beside them during their journeys so i know whats going on , or whats going to happen. Do you have any specific questions we can help you with???
