All I can say is do it and don't look back I had the opportunity.. 5 years ago... and chickened out... 4 days prior to surgery.. I can't imagine how those years would have been different... best of success.... you got this

Hi... I had my sleeve a week ago Yesterday. There was some discomfort the first day but was well managed by the nurses. My Dr was great about it. Some nausea the first few days which bothered me more than the discomfort I was in. You will do fine. If you trust your Dr just know that he will take care of any pain you might have. Tell him your fears, he has had a lot of patients who have been in your shoes and will do what he can to alleviate your fears. We are all here to help so just vent to us too. )

I'm home now and doing great, I'm in mild discomfort but nothing I can't handle. The gas pain has been the only issue for me!! Can't wait to start my new life

I had mine a week ago yesterday too. I'm a pain weenie but this was no problem. My arms hurt from being stretched out and getting up from prone caused a little blip of pain in the incisions but nothing terrible. I never felt worse than a five.

That said, I am totally exhausted, I mean wiped out. The level of fatigue has taken me by surprise. I guess I ain't no spring chicken anymore. Blast me.
