Congrats!!! I've had that exact same thought. It gets better day by day. Ill be a month post op Monday!

Okay sorry it's been a bit since I posted.... He did send me home with Bentyl, Omeprazole, Reglan. I stopped having spasms probably within a week after coming home from the hospital. Thank god. The M.D., PA and Rns said it was spasms when I would drink anything.... as soon as anything hit my stomach it would spasm. not so much gas pains... the hospital and the drs said it was their number one complaint.. the GI cocktail helped a lot too! My surgeon is amazing... I would do this all over again.

Hey girl! I was just sleeved 2/3 w/ Dr Caruana. You'll do great... the pre op diet gets easier... I lost 14 pounds on it

you only had a 3 day pre op diet?????? WOW I wish ours was only 3 days!!!!!--- that's awesome though

I'm sleeved!!! Wasn't as bad as I thought but there's one thing I wasn't warned or even read about..... does or did anyone get stomach spasms when drinking or eating??? And how long did I t last?!?

Omg... Surgery tomorrow!!!!!!

being sleeved tomorrow, terrified.

My surgery is tomorrow and I'm freakin scared. All these emotions and feelings, crazy thoughts running through my head. I questioned myself a million times, did I try hard enough? Am I making the right decision? I just pray I don't regret this.

Oops!!! I lied down 14 pounds.... it gets easier, but it does suck not eating

I went to bed early a lot!!!! I was miserable lol

On day 8 of 10 ...Surgery Monday. I can tell you for me at first it was so difficult, I had the worse headaches and wanted to cheat so bad. I was dying for a friggin burger or something. I'm now down 12 pounds, and feel much better. Good luck guys!!!!

I will definitely let you guys know how things go! I'm feeling more and more confident now about the sleeve. I just can't wait to be healthy and happy again... and wear all my sexy clothes... and maybe find a man lol

Surgery date is Feb 3rd!! Yahoo!!! .... goodbye PCOS, hello sexy lady

Another thing is looking back at the negative things about being fat... and it completely outweighs my fears. I mean really... not dating, going out with friends, getting a better job, not fitting into my really expensive super cute clothes with tags on them... I don't even do my hair or makeup anymore cause I don't feel beautiful like I use to. I put 70 pounds on in a year, I have PCOS and I'm pre diabetic and all of my doctors have told me do something now or things will get worse. What really made me open my eyes to how bad things got was not being able to lift my leg over the motorcycle... that crushed me. The little things that all add up, and finnally made me realise it's time for change... don't be scared we are in this together... ill just going in a few days before you so I will let you know everything girl!!!!

7 post ops per day**

That's my fear too... between hair loss, nausea, and flat lining. I'm pretty much losing my mind. I keep reminding myself that I work in a hospital and just my floor alone I can get 7 post ops. People have surgery all the time... so it's a little reassuring but I just still drive my self crazy over these thoughts!

Feb 3rd!!! I'm really excited but the fear of the unknown is whats driving me crazy!!

Mine is Feb 3rd also!!! I've been having some serious last meal syndrome going on, I'm really excited, I actually went to the pre/post opens area where I'm be having the surgery and it finally hit me!!! We will do great!

This is actually a great question to ask myself after doubting surgery at times so here I go... 1) being the fattest girl out of my group of girlfriends (hiding in pictures, not going out to bars or vacations) 2) being told that I JUST have a "really pretty face" 3) being asked when I am due or if I'm pregnant? 4) struggling to wrap my leg over to get on the motorcycle 5) hiding food anymore 6) not fitting in my gorgeous clothes and shoes that just take up space in my closet, I can't wait to wear them 7) the labor walking up and down stairs 8) being swollen 9) avoiding people who want to see me and I make every excuse not to see them because I got so big 10) most of all... I won't miss being a miserable bit©h There's much more but it feels good to just write these few down

23 days away from surgery!! Omg I'm so excited!! Of course I'm nervous but I pray things go well, and I'm keeping the faith!

Hey guys! I'm new to this site and been having a hard time finding info on PCOS and the sleeve... I have severe PCOS and my symptoms are out of control... between the hot flashes/sweating, hair loss, no energy, of course the weight gain..all the fun stuff. Just wondering if any ladies who have had the sleeve w/ PCOS notice any changes since surgery!? I'm anxious and so excited about my upcoming sleeve!! thanks!!
