How are all of you doing? I'm almost 6 weeks post op and doing great. Got back to the gym today and it felt great. I can't believe how much easier it is on my joints now that I'm down 37lbs. And the stretching! I can fold in half again I did have 1 little moment that I had to stop the treadmill ???? I accidentally took too big of a sip of water and it almost came back up. Luckily it passed and I was able to hop back on and finish my workout. That would have been super embarrassing!

Hello. Today I started my pre-op diet and I'm having my surgery NOVEMBER 25th! I am so excited and, of course, nervous. My insurance requires a 6 month waiting period and I thought this day would never get here. Everything was so slow until my final appointment November 11 and now it's all happening so fast. Anyone else getting sleeved soon?

Hi everyone!! Sorry I haven't checked in before now. Sounds like you all are doing great. I had a great surgery, doc found a hiatal hernia and repaired it, pretty rough time after surgery but it was mostly due to gas pain and a nurse that was not very helpful. My catheter was bent wrong or something and I was in excruciating pain because I had to pee and it wouldn't let me. I had trouble getting help with that and didn't receive any pain meds until 4 hours after surgery. As soon as they fixed my catheter and gave me pain meds, it's been so much better!! I have had 2 c-sections and this is so much easier for me. I had to reduce my pain meds a couple days after surgery so I would slow down. I thought maybe I wasn't feeling enough and I would hurt myself by doing too much. I actually feel amazing and have so much energy. I did not expect to feel this good so soon. I'm down 20lbs including 5 day pre-op diet and had to get a new pair of jeans yesterday! Woohoo!!

Thank you!! I'm on my way to the hospital now. Feeling super excited and every other emotion possible. I'll check in later ????

Good luck to you as well! You will be on your way before you know it. I think coming home to clean, organized house will be the best support! Love it
