imawhodat 3 Posted June 8, 2011 Thank you everyone. I really feel like all of this is surreal. I'm now obsessively researching post op sleevers and how to get through the first couple of weeks. That is my biggest fear. I'm afraid of chronic nausea and low energy level. My plan is drinking lots of fluids right out of the gate to avoid dehydration. Right now I'm facing lots of big life changes and I hope I'm strong enough to handle them all. They are all good, but it is alot of changes in a short period of time. I know if I don't do anything else, this surgery WILL be the best thing for me and my family. And to all you veteran sleevers...be prepared to be bombarded with lots of questions from this newbie! Take care everyone Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iegal 460 Posted June 8, 2011 What an incredible day for you and your family! Looking forward to hearing back from you about when you get a date. Those obstacles are minor if you look what you have accomplished already. Getting a loan and a job...WOW. Smiles for you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NJMOMof2 17 Posted June 8, 2011 So happy for you. I can't tell you how much this surgery changed my life. Size 20 to a 12 (so far).. Amazing Be sure to get some sugar free popscicles. They were my life saver!! Also get some powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken Soup. The more you get the Protein in, the better you will feel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
