Hey everyone.....so glad our sleeves are doing good....I am resting at hotel night before surgery.....not nervous yet......hugs all

So glad to see you online. I have been thinking bout you today. I want to wish you the very best tomorrow. I know you are going to do great. Joyce mentioned that we may not be able to meet. She said Jessica would do her best to see that you and her meet, but that when you get there, they are leaving. So the same may be for you and I. If I don't get to meet you in person, just know I am giving you a huge hug in thought and maybe one day we will meet in the future.

How are things going for you?

Can't believe I've overlooked this thread for the past few weeks. I am on day #11 of my 2 week pre op diet. Scheduled for surgery bright and early Monday morning, 8/6 with Dr. Braverman from the NEW Program. Hospital is about 15 mins from home which makes things much easier.

I'm excited. Nervous. Hungry. and Ready!!!

Good luck and let us know how you go

I realize I am extremely late to this party, but nothing like a grand entrance, right?? I will be sleeved August 31 in Tijuana with Dr. Garcia. I am so excited for all of us

Hello! Sleeved yesterday, feeling tired and nauseas. Pain mainly in right side of abdomen. Doctor said probably from cutting muscles. I sleep a lot, thanks to the phenergan for nausea. On oral pain meds, and have had my bariatric first meal. I have walked a lot, try to walk at least every 2 hours. Nurses are awesome. Doctor great.

Wow, congrats, sounds like you are doing good...

Hi guys I'm new here , and yes my date it's 8/17 ... Im so nervous I can't even explain . Having this surgery it's what I wanted since a couple of years ago n now it's right around the corner and I can't enjoy being exited

Because I'm so nervous . Anyways good luck to all of us ...

I think we all flit around with being to nervous lol I know that I go from pure zen about my choice and pure head case. I think as you see the sleevers who have done it before you from the group it will become more empowering. Hang in there, we are all here for you

You can always PM me on FB if you need to tak about anything. Seriously, the drugs they give are awesome!! They really are amazing! I feel a slight pain on my left side(where stomach was removed). I got up and walked the about 5:15 because I had some slight chest pain. It was nothing compared to the way I have heard it described. Dr.A is so caring (his looks aren't bad either). He told Mark that my surgey was beautiful, my liver looks great.

Jessica is wonderful. She took Mark out to lunch and he really liked her too. All the staff are very kind. Most of the ***ht nurses speak very little or no English and they are in and out all ***ht long. Can't carry on casual conversation with them at all. Jesus is the one that takes care of Dr.A's patients, he speaks English very well. I just cannot tell you how I am amazed that I did this and i am so happy !!! You will be too. It is just such a good feeling!

I know that your are ICandithis will be the same after it is over. The mouth dryness is the worst thing but i just wet a washcloth and wiped my lips, swished and spit Water, I use blistex medicated cream on my lips (not waxey or greasy ) and I also bought a tube of the spray mouth freshener Binaca. Those have been life savers for me so far! I keep them with my glasses in a clam shell large case and the stay right beside me in the bed.

I will keep you posted on my day today![/quote']

What an amazing inspiration you are! I sincerely hope mine goes as smoothly! Congratulations!
