Karen! It will be ok. I cried the whole way to the hospital yesterday. My husband and I have a 10 month old, and getting a serve was the largest decision I have ever made. I cried when the nurse was hooking me up to the IV etc. My hospital gave me a relaxing drug and that is the last thing I remember until being very groggy in the recovery room. I hope they do the same for you; I couldn't back out and I truly don't remember anything in the operating room! Good luck today, I know you will do great =)

Hey yall!!! I was sleeved today around 9:30 but I don't remember anything after I received my feel good meds. Not in any pain as of now. Got up and walked once so far but I'm about to get up again. I can't believe it's done, I'm still in shock! Will catch up a little later after I read the post above. Congrats to all current and future sleevers ????

Hello all - im new here and will have my surgery on Monday, October 13th in Tijuana Mexico. Im flying in from Alaska. I dread the pre-op diet, leak test and removal of the drain. I turn 38 on October 8th and this is my gift to myself. The reason for my decision is help with my pcos as i have had 3 failed ivf's already. Wishing us all a successful surgery and fast recovery. God bless you all!

I have my surgery a week after you in TJ and I am also flying down from Alaska.

Went to final pre-op appointment this morning... Have lost 3 pounds after a week on pre-op diet...I know it's not much but every little bit helps and it was cumulatively enough to lower my BMI! my pre-op allows 3 meals choice of food or shakes plus a food or shack snack up to 1200 calories. I had to turn in a packet of page after page of risk or complications that I initialed. That was a bit overwhelming but very informative because I got clear answers on everything. Write down your questions so you don't forget anything you want to ask, it helped calm my nerves a bit. Plus and big plus maybe it was the weight loss but , drum roll please ...my blood pressure was normal. Octobers we're on our way to better health!!

Hello Everyone!!

Sorry I've been absent. I've been preparing for the big day which is Friday for me. My assistant and I flew into San Antonio on the way to Peidras Negras. We are attempting to have a mini vay- cay and occupy my mind. Guess what? As beautiful as our view of the River Walk is I can only think of one think and that's my new sleeve. How wrinkled will I be when I lose weight? How much better will I feel Physically? and etc......

Anyway..... Love and support to all sleevers past, present and future. I am saying a special prayer for strength courage and calmness for all of you scheduled tomorrow. Best Wishes.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
