Hi all. I was sleeved on July 3rd. Some post-op pain from the belly button incision, but that has pretty much disappeared. More tired than anything. My first post op doc visit is Monday and I will be heading back to work Tuesday. I also have trouble getting the shakes down as well as all of the pills/vitamins. But I do my best! Good luck to everyone!!

Hi, I'm Stephanie. I am 62, married no kids unless you count the cat and the dog.I have 5 nieces and one nephew and "almost" 3 great-nieces. I am scheduled for my sleeve this coming Thursday (July 3rd) with Dr Kevin Krause at Wm Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak MIch. I've been overweight my entire life and I finally decided that I could not fight the weight on my own anymore. So after consulting my doc, I started the 6 month waiting period last November. I am excited, nervous and every other emotion you can think of today. My husband is very supportive as well as my friends. I am currently on the pre-op diet and have lost 5 or 6 pounds. I am a bookkeeper at a promotional company. I enjoy reading and movies and I am trying to find some new hobbies to keep my hands and mind busy and not thinking about food. Thanks for reading and in a few days I will be a real "loser"!
