The Final Countdown...

Hi Fellow January folks.... there are three of us (that I'm aware of) heading in for sleeves tomorrow.

Wish us luck!

Next post sleeved!

Oh - took a couple pre-surgery photos... gaakkkk!! It's amazing how long I've gone just not looking at myself.

so far the only discomfort I have is the nausea (knock on wood)

and the heprin shots are no fun. they brought me chicken broth, diluted apple juice, Jello and a Popsicle for dinner. broth good, apple juice ok and jello and grape Popsicle were horrible - immediate nausea, close to barfing.

Just brushed teeth and that has me a little queasy.

Still have the catheter. I think they want to measure how much. sorry if tmi!

I'm sleeved!! Easy and pretty painless! No pain meds or anything like that. Hopefully this continues. Tomorrow I start clears if I pass my leak test.

Congrats Pink_140! My pain has been pretty minimal too. The nausea the first 18 hours was no fun but I've been home since Tuesday afternoon and feel great. I've walked quite a bit each day (shopping walking and walking to get my son from daycare) and my last pain pill was Wednesday night to get myself back to sleep. I feel great!

I cannot wait to join you'll, the 23rd can't get here quick enough...I hope my recovery is equally as painless as some of yours...

Good luck Tenna! I hope you have a great experience too!
