Hi Y’all - I am on the 11th too. Would love to keep in touch on what you guys experience and share mine as well. I’m nervous.

I won't have my date until December 26...i was denied in November so I'm a little more subdued this time around

May I ask why you were denied?

I was sleeved on Jan 11. My starting weight on surgery day was 242, now 4 days post op I am 231. That's right I am down 11 lbs. I was in the hospital one night however on Saturday night I wasn't feeling good so my husband rushed me to to the hospital! I was dehydrated, after 14 hours in emergency I felt much better. Today I am feeling so much better. The hardest part the first couple days is keeping Water, meds, and liquids down. The gas pains and the sore stomach is painful, but it gets better, just remember it gets worst before it gets better unless you are lucky! I have had 4 kids and day 1-3 post op felt like death. Thank God that is in the past. Looking forward to shedding the pounds.

Anyone know if there is an app that would help to set timers and reminders for drinking and such? I'm scared about drinking my Water and then eating in between water

I think the fit bit has a reminder. I think the iPhone one does too.

Hi, all- I am one week out today from my sleeve last week and just want to send my support to everyone who is still waiting. I am feeling terrific today- really good. The first few days were hard (I had lots of nausea) but quickly got much much better. I was pretty terrified of this surgery before I had it, but now I am already grateful. Down 24 pounds since preop diet, which I think is pretty great! Also just feeling content with the decision now that it’s done- I keep feeling surprised that I still feel like myself- I don’t know what I thought was going to happen, but I’m so relieved that I feel pretty normal by this point, and the only difference is being a tiny bit sore and having to take a half an hour to eat a Greek yogurt Getting all liquids and Protein in, and feeling so much better. Just wanted to send reassurance to any people who like me were absolutely scared out of their minds. All will be well!

Thanks for this! Wonderful to hear. I'm in hospital now and will be operated tomorrow morning with the sleeve as well as a hiatial hernia. I am nervous of course, and also sure that it's the right decision. I'm worried about not eating anymore for a while, though that's the point, right? I imagine you get used to it quickly. Then I'll be concentrating on my liquids and proteins!

Had my last meal earlier... From now on, only Water until 6 am, then operation at 10 am. They said I might end up in intensive for the night to be monitored for sleep apnea.. Hoping not!
