Hey everyone! Just joined here today for support, info and guidance. I'm scheduled for the sleeve on 12/23. Starting to get nervous, anxious and second guessing myself. All normal feelings I'm sure.

Absolutely. I had nervousness and anxiety until they knocked me out with anesthesia 🤣. I was sleeved on 12/11 and it’s been a small challenge but not so bad. COME HERE AND VENT ANY TIME YOU NEED TOO!!! There are some wonderful people here who give you that PUSH! It make a difference when someone has been where you are! Don’t worry too much. You’ll be fine. 😘

I'm scheduled for tomorrow morning and am so NERVOUS! I'm also in the cross between excited and 2nd guessing my choice. I think I'm just most worried about getting through the surgery not the after.

Had mine Dec 3. How’s everyone feeling. I’m sore and always nauseated

Hey there, what's going on with your nerves? You absolutely must believe that you are going to make it through this and on to the otherside of success. You are a Jedi warrior and THE FORCE IS WITH YOU...

Let's check in and assess, you are nervous and that's normal. Fear of the unknown is a beast, it is also paralyzing if you don't check it. You are supported here and remember you want this , so you can extend your time with your young family. 💜

Pretty much the same for me. Had mine on 11th. Now my tummy talks louder than I do. 😩

If there were ANY chance of you not being 100 % successful in recovery they will NOT do the procedure.

I’m feeling this right now ... I haven’t been nervous and today it’s hit full Monty .... 😩

Don’t be nervous, I’m 5 days post op and it’s the best thing I could have done. I use to take 42 pills a day for different health problems, instantly after surgery I am reduced to 8 pills I will eventually need to start taking Vitamins that I haven’t started yet but that will be nothing compared to those nasty meds I’ve talked for 25+ yrs that have damaged my kidneys.
Just remind yourself the health benefits behind it. . I will also let you know in these 5 days I haven’t had one hunger pain. I just keep up with the routine I was told and it works. Plan on setting a goal for walking to relieve any gas pain. It helps too. I couldn’t have any pain meds because of my kidney disease so I did a lot of walking.. I’m now working my way up to 10,000 steps from 5,000. Best wishes to you and you will be amazing

Thank you @Krimsonbutterflies I appreciate your kind words! Surgery went well yesterday and it looks like I’ll get to go home today. I’m only a little nauseous and that’s when I get up. Pain is controlled it’s just more of an uncomfortable feeling. I’m trying to learn how to sip slowly. 3 sips is usually too much for me and causes more discomfort in my stomach and an overly full feeling. Still very tired and sleepy. I slept most of the day yesterday.

Is it coming off faster than on pre op diet?
