Recommended Posts

nervous scared & excited

toy27

most all soon to be sleevers have the above emotions

completely normal

hold on to the excitement part

put the "nerves" on the way back burner

before you know it - it will be tomorrow :)

WLS will be over - you slept right through it :lol:

get a good rest in the hospital

walking, walking and more walking is important to get rid of any gas you might have

it also starts to give you some needed "strength"

drinking might be hard at first - take it slow - but due your best :)

you will be on the road to health and happiness and a longer lifetime :)

good luck

speedy recovery :)

It's pretty normal to be nervous. I was! It goes really quick and when you wake up you'll probably be in a little pain (nothing you can't handle) and lots of lovely gas. Walk as much and as often as you can - that's the way to feel better. sip, sip, sip - that is about all you'll be able to handle. Don't drink anything too fast. The first week is a little rough because you're trying to figure stuff out - but by the beginning of the second week I was home free. Make sure you take care of yourself and get plenty of rest. Most of all .... don't look back. You'll love the sleeved life - I certainly do! Good luck and keep us posted. We'll be thinking of you.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
