March Sleevers Where are You

[AUNM 3]

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.

I never knew how nervous I would be... (Having surgery in an hour and ten minutes) . i couldn't sleep last night. And i cried this morning when my manager and other coworker called to pray. Wish me luck guys.

Good luck to everyone else. :-)

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!!

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!

I think 19 is a great age..... I wish I would have done this surgery a long time ago, instead of waiting until 43 years of age ! you will do just fine, don't be nervous......

Started my pre-op liquid diet today, trying to stay motivated because my surgery is on Monday March 25th... we are having freezing rain sunday night into monday morning..... I guess I will have to slip and slide into surgery !!!

The pre opp diet is the hardest part of this whole thing hands down!! Every thing else is a breeze!!! I have to be on this diet for 2 weeks and it's killing me!!! I'm nervous about what I'm going to look like after like am I going to have loose skin and things like that

The days seem to be going by so slow!!!! I go for my pre op testing in the morning and I'm sure I will start the pre op liquid diet....that's going to be reallyhard. But surgery is Weds the 27th and I pray that everything goes according to plan.

Hi fellow sleevers : )

I had my Pre Op stuff done yesterday and I am scheduled for surgery on March 29th! I am extremely excited. I live in Green Cove Springs, FL (Right under Jacksonville) but will be traveling 5 hours to Boca Raton, FL for my surgery.

I have a Facebook that I made for my weight loss. If anyone would like to ad me it https://www.facebook.com/Food.vs.Life

Praying that we all have wonderful outcomes : )
