I was sleeved on the 20th so almost a week out, and I'm having hard time sleeping because my skin feels crawly...anyone else have this and what helps?

Of course like most, I'm getting nervous but excited. I've struggled on my liquid diet, so makes me nervous about after the surgery. I don't have doubts, but just scared of failure. On top of it all, I broke my foot 2 months ago, and I'm still in an aircast, and prob will be for another month or so . I didn't want to reschedule my surgery until my foot healed, but i do worry it will hinder my progress. I am excited about the future, its just the unknown. I have loved coming to these boards to read about others journeys, it has been so helpful. I am giving God all the glory in the start of my journey and will continue to praise him as I go through this...well that's my current story.

I'm glad its getting better for you...

Hello to all the Nashville area folks, I'm about you be sleeved on Thursday and just wondering how you all are doing, its nice to converse with local sleevers...my Dr is Dr Dyer@ Centennial.

Hi, I'm being sleeved in Thursday 3/20 and would love an invite to the FB March group kellyconnell@Yahoo.com Thank you so much!

Thank you newat52, I needed to read that too!

I am going through same thing, my surgery is scheduled for the 20th also. I start my pre OP diet on Sunday, and I have been having last meals all week (Chinese for lunch today). ,I try not to feel guilty, maybe wrong, but I too know that starting Sunday my life is going to change for the better! I have a plan, a goal and determination, but I also know it won't be easy. So I guess many go through what you/I are experiencing, and to see this helps me a ton!

I have to do all that next week, plus I did an upper GI today

I am a type 2 insulin diabetic, I was not told to come off my insulin. I start my pre OP diet on Sunday and was given a diabetic pre OP diet that actually includes liquids with sugar. I was told to watch my sugars closely and adjust my insulin accordingly. My surgeon did tell me I may be able to leave the hospital never needing insulin again, which would be the biggest blessing I could get! However if nothing else should be greatly reduced!

Wow...I was told 3 nights...My surgery is scheduled for a Thursday, was told I would go home on Sunday...

I'm near the Dickson area, and having surgery on March 20@ Centennial...where have you tried to find support groups at?

Thank you Cupcake for the suggestion, I chose the sleeve because of the malabsorption issue with the bypass, and also because of the less likely of dumping happening (sorry if tmi) and i already know what that is like all the research I have done shows a greater than 85% chance of remission with type 2 diabetes, and at this point I have 0% chance. I have loved this site too, I called my insurance and they have till Thursday to review it...ugh just ready to get approval and date scheduled...good luck to you too!!!!

This is my first post, I have been stalking the site for about a month now I have SO SO many questions that I don't even know where to begin. I think my biggest fear is gaining the weight back, "stretching" the sleeve and it be a failure. I'm 38 with several issues including type 2 diabetes, and I'm doing this to hopefully put it into remission....advice or encouragement is needed and truly welcomed...blessings to everyone!
