bghimer2035 2 Posted November 12, 2012 I'm set for the 26th and I'm still having a hard time telling my closest friends. Only one has been supportive so far. Thank goodness my husband is behind me! I'm still having mixed feelings about everything. Hopefully this forum will help me find answers and support! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LHT 21 Posted November 12, 2012 My boyfriend n bestie don't want me to have it .....he wants me to just go to da gym ......I did everything under da sun n nothing has stayed off long term Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bghimer2035 2 Posted November 12, 2012 That's what my friends say too. No one can understand the daily challenges we face. My body is fighting against me everyday. If this surgery helps us win the war for our long term health and well being then that's what we've for to do. I can't lie though...I'm still a little nervous and scared. 1 mike010906 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mysunflower621 69 Posted November 12, 2012 Me too, I'm very scared and nervous! I think I'm in some kind of denial that my surgery is in 4 days, I don't let myself think too much about it because I'm so scared!! I have told only a handful of people/friends and they are all very very supportive, including my husband. I am a very private person, so I don't anticipate that I'd be telling too many folks even as time goes on. I will use this support network and everyone here has been great. 1 LHT reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

evonnrae 39 Posted November 12, 2012 Hi November Sleevesters! I just wanted to thank everyone for their prayers and well wishes. I had surgery on November 9th. I feel better than expected. No real pain, no vomiting. I was up walking a few hours after my surgery. Just working on staying hydrated with Water, broth, popsicles and diluted Isopure. SF Jello doesn't go down to well so I'm staying away from that. I've been walking slowly. Coughing hurts and my stomach is constantly rumbling/ gurgling...what's that all about? I've been sleeping in my living room chair which feel good for my stomach but not for the greatest sleep. Sending prayers to those of you with upcoming surgeries. Stay positive and prayerful that everything will be ok. 1 mike010906 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CJ's mom 28 Posted November 12, 2012 Well it's here...November 12th....my new birthday! Sitting in the waiting room ready to start my new life. Surgery is scheduled for 1 and I'm actually surprised I'm not more nervous. I feel very peaceful and calm. Good luck to you all getting sleeves today! 4 Kivtuar, BatesClanOf4, mike010906 and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
