I was nervous too as was everyone. I had a great experience so that helped. I will give you one tip ask your surgeon if they plan on using a tap block and if not why not.. easier to look it up on internet if you are not sure what it is. On a pain scale I was expecting a 10/10 I think it was about a 3/10 and that's +2pts feeling guilty it did not hurt. No pain medication after day 2. You will be so happy when it's over..

Cool.
My wife is looking at getting sleeved in May and then mine in August.
I have always been a big guy, big frame and tall.
But I have really packed on the pounds since getting married.
I currently weigh about 420

Awesome.....you look amazing....
I am just 3 months out, lost 50 pounds so far. I hope I lose as much as you... did it all come off quickly? Any loose skin? I sometimes feel like I am moving slow.

I felt like I was losing slow as well but it just kept coming off. You will stall every so often as your body adjusts. I thought I would have a ton of loose skin and I do not. I have a little but I am thrilled with the result. I felt like the slower it came off the more my body had time to snap back. Who knows if that is how it works but it will keep coming off. Good luck with the rest of the way. Stay healthy..

My high weight was 315, my surgery weight was 299 and now 6 weeks after Sleeve surgery I'm at 260, I don't want lose skin ! I have been walking but I want to go to the gym and do more rigorous exercise, when did you start exercising ? What type of exercise did you do ?

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
