Hii!! My name is Pam , 21 y/o. I was sleeved on 8/7/2012 and this week has just been a totally different experience from what i had in mind . Reading about it is one thing but actually experiencing it is a while different story. Thankfully I had no complications and was able to start walking that same night. I started working yesturday and I can't help but feel so tired. I had my one week follow up today and I was told it was because of the weight I've lost. I was so looking forward to getting weighed, and when I did I was in dis belief !! My weight the day of surgery was 230.7 and as of this morning I'm 209.7 !! Around 21 lbs .. It's a lot for such a short period of time .. Which is why my doctor said I had been feeling so tired . It's been thought getting food down , and I'm always thirsty !! Which drives me nuts since I can only drink so much .. Overall, I can honestly say I love my new sleeve , and hope to keep loosing throughout my journey

Thanks im usually sitting at my desk , I get up a few times just to get papers from fax/ printer. I no longer have pain or discomforts , so I'm able to do my job as if I'd never had surgery. & congrats on your soon to be sleeve !!

Got my approval today!! & I also have a date !! Aug 7th .. Supper excited and looking forward to it )

Thanks!!

Mine said no pre-op diet what so ever .. I found it weird how one of my friends was on only liquids for two weeks pre-op .. don't really know why the difference.

Ms.amby ... Thats amazing .. You really are rocking your sleeve !! i myself am 20y/o and am really looking forward to getting sleeved within the next two months ..has your age made things any more difficult with the sleeve ..like going out with friends or stuff like that ??

Hey girls !! I'm really new to this site but have been reading on what other ppl have gone through both pre op and post op ..I'm 20 y/o and going through the pre op process of the endoscopy and the psych doctor .. I'm really looking forward to it .. Hopefully I'll be sleeved within the next 2 months )
