Hi jewels1227! I'm a new member on this site and my sleeve is also tomorrow. Not nervous yet but trying to keep myself occupied today so I don't have to think about it. I'm on a clear liquid diet today which makes me WANT to eat something....just because I can't!! Good luck to you, hope all goes well!

Hey, Diane311. This forum is excellent...I am waiting on the phone call to tell me the time! We are sleeve buddies....lets stay connected....

@Changefromwithin.find a hospital or doctor that will do the surgery and make a appointment. At that appointment they will discuss your next steps. Most doctors that specialize already have everything mapped out for you. I started my process last year in November, and they had a waiting list. So now I am getting sleeved tommorrow. Depending on your insurance and the doctor you get to do it it could be quicker...make sure you do all of your research FIRST!

Good luck and I am here if you need any assistance! :)

So excited for y'all! I was sleeved two weeks ago today :) and it's amazing!! I've already lost about 20 lbs... I was feeling the same thing you guys were the day before! Very anxious but it's so easy! The pain varies from person to person but I was off pain meds in 4 days and back running a normal life by day 4/5!! You'll do Great! The mental hunger is the most challenging part of it.. But I'm learning slowly but surely it's still a journey!! But sooo worth it!! You will start to feel amazing in no time

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
