new here looking for good advice and a lil support :)

Welcome Newbie :)

always enough room to welcome a smiling face :)

surgery in two weeks??? :o

you must be so excited :)

you might have a few emotions - nervousness, excitement etc etc

all perfectly normal

ask your questions

read the boards - you will see things you can relate to

first suggestion coming up.............

post surgery - get up from bed ASAP and start walking around in the hospital

good for gas, and just to start your recovery

sip, sip, sip your water

if you are having trouble with cold Water - drink room temperature

take everything slowly

things will better day to day

you are on your way to a healthier, happier, longer life :)

good luck

speedy recovery

I am doing good but getting very nervous! I had an ACL repair done on 12/17 and am scheduled for the sleeve on 1/27. I'm still using my crutches and wondering if my knee if going to let me move forward with this? I should have been sleeved in October, but had to postpone it due to the knee injury and I don't want to put it off any longer!!!

postpone it due to the knee injury

stephg

sorry about your knee :(

tne reason behind those knee problems often have to do with our weight "issues" :wacko:

i had 2 knee replacements

hope you continue to recup ok, and will have the surgery done on the 27th :)

being nervous, excited, scared et al are common emotions that will continue

speedy recovery

good luck

kathy

Thank you. My injury isn't due to my weight. I had a auto accident 20 yrs ago and broke my knee then had numerous surgeries and was doing great until September, when I had a horrible fall to the same knee. Now the weight on my leg is an issue, It has to go!! :)

      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.
