I'm here too! 6 days sleeved and loving it! Kaleen, keep a positive attitude and you have nothing to fear! I can't believe how well I feel! My advice.... obviously I'm new at this and I'm assuming you're nervous about the surgery. The first day after surgery was bad I had moments of regrets and kept saying I can't believe I chose to do this to myself, lol.... But boy did that pass!!! Get off the narcotics as soon as your able! After they took me off the IV drip the liquid pain medicine they gave me made me so nausious that after the 3rd time of taking it, I refused the medicine and would just rather deal with a little pain. Which honestly isn't horrible!! Nothing a little liquid tylenol couldn't handle. Seriously! You'll be gassy & uncomfortable for a couple days - My surgery was last Thursday the 21st. I went home from the Hospital on Sunday morning and felt okay, little slow to walk and still a little sore - But on Monday, got up put my makeup, did my hair & got dressed and was a new woman. Now, tomorrow is my 1 week surgiversary and I feel fabulous (I'm even bored at home, contemplating going back to work early) lol! Keep a positive attitude and you'll do great!

In case anyone ever still reads this thread, Dr. Volckmann @ the U, sleeved me 6 days ago. I couldn't be more impressed by him & his staff. I switched to him after already going through all my pre-op 6 month diet the insurance required with the BMI Clinic. I switched, honestly because of staff. After dealing with the rude staff at BMI for 6 months pre-op I just didn't want to have to deal with them for the rest of my life. So, I looked up Dr. V - met he & his fabulous staff & I feel absolutely terrific. Exciting to be on the losers bench and thrilled I went with Volckmann. His care & attention to detail are stellar!
