kristy26 42 Posted May 1, 2013 I will and thank you. I'm so glad I joined this forum. It feels good to know other people know what I'm going to be going through. Especially where I love idk anyone else that has the sleeve. There was two people in my class that want to get it but I'm ahead of them they needed to get approved first.

I hope it goes by fast. I hope everything goes good and that you have a good recovery as well. I have the same concerns living my 18 month daughter my husband insist to take her with us to the hospital, but I just think is a bad idea. Well I will convince him that is better that she stays a home with my mom. Good luck keep us posted I will be on the same position on monday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kristy26 42 Posted May 2, 2013 I'm doing good surgery went great. I will say be prepared to be in a lot of pain the fist day especially it does get better. You need to make yourself walk you will feel so much better getting the gas out and sitting up. I feel better after I walk. The beds suck so walking helps my back too. Today I was able to eat Jello and Soup broth and for dinner I had cream broth. Yesterday I was just on water!! I did get a Protein Shake for dinner but didn't drink that much of it as I got full from the soup. It's better to eat slow too. 2 himalaya62 and NewSetOfCurves reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
