AUNM 3 Posted March 19, 2013 Had my sleeve the 14th. The worst part was the gas that they put in your stomach to do the surgery. I thought I was having a heart attack. Stayed two days in the hospital. I am on my liquid Protein Drinks 3 times a day and I really can't drink all I'm supposed too. But, today I started to crave some other foods and it really worried me. I guess when I start eating real foods that fill me up, that will go away, I hope. I came home with a drain tube, which is the pits. I get it out the 25th, start pureed foods that day too. Can't wait to get to that point. I've noticed when I drink too fast, I feel like my stomach has a bubble in it for a few seconds, so I've slowed down on that. Will keep everybody posted on my results as I get there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fluffy62 37 Posted March 19, 2013 Hi everyone! This is my first post on here. I feel a little weird. My surgery is March 27th. I'm actually a little scared not for what's to come but the fact that I'm going under. I'm very excited about what the future holds for me and my family. Just wanted to introduce myself. Good luck to future sleevers and congratulations to those who have taken the step to a new life!!! God Bless!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lilbuddhaxo 20 Posted March 20, 2013 I was a nervous wreck when I was sleeved (march 13) they injected me with Xanax or something TWICE! haha the first time I didn't feel anything and kept like jiggling my feet and they came back over and did more. I have never had surgery before so I think that's why like literally EVERY thought was going through my head. Not to mention my best friend died in the hospital where I had my surgery due to malpractice. I know ... everyone thought I was absolutely nuts to be having surgery there. But I just had such faith in my doctor and kept thinking positive thoughts and if it was meant to be it will be. But you will be fine, seriously. If I went through with it.. you can too! Just do everything they tell you! I'm sure you're doctor has done this many times! good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
