Phayness

So I got Sleeved yesterday and I have to say I think the worst part thus far for me was right after surgery it felt like I had a brick in my chest from all the air they pump into you. I've been up and walking since shortly after surgery and I'm feeling really good I mean the abdomen is sore, but the pain meds are managing that well. Idk lol I feel happy and relieved and ready to get out of here lol

I'm scheduled for Valentines Day so nervous

Hi everyone! I am new to here and excited to see such a place exists for people who are going through this to come together! I have bern working towards getting my surgery for about a year now. I have medicaid insurance so it has been a wild ride getting it approved and going through all the requirements but april 8th will be my last day meeting with the qualifying place and I will be on my way to meet my surgeon and get acquainted with The hospital i will be having the surgery in. As it stands I've only lost 7 pounds on the pre-op diet but i have hypothyroidism so it makes it more difficult my BMI is 41 and my weight currently is 286 at 5'4". I have been doing my research and am excited but also anxious to hear from others as well. Anyways happy to be here!
