Hi Everyone,

I am new to the site, although I have been reading the posts for the past few months and have found them extremely helpful! I am working through my preop diet currently. My surgery is 8 days away!!! I am so excited! I am looking forward to sharing my journey and hoping to meet fellow "sleevers" that I can talk to when I need help or just want to share Right now, I am getting a little nervous about thepain I will be in afterwards. Anything you can share will help. Thank you!!!!

WELCOME!!!! <3

i am currently in my 5th month of my 6 month required supervised diet. im praying to be sleeved on dec 19th or 20th!

youre definitely in the right place.

as far as pain goes, DONT WORRY!!!!

its like having a baby, you know its going to hurt but you want it so bad that pain shouldnt be an issue! i never had kids but i have tattoos that hurt like hell & i have gotten 2 brazilian waxes! i also have had my gall bladder removed which i hear is just as painful.

all im saying is, i want this so bad that as long as i wake up & have no complications, BRING ON THE PAIN (with some morphine plz!! lmao).

i hope this put you at ease.
