Hi everyone. Glad to say I'm home and well. There were times at the hospital when I questioned what I just did to myself because I was feeling so crumby, but today I am feeling so much better. I can't wait to see what the future brings.

Hi Lori

Glad to hear you are feeling better, sorry you weren't feeling so well after surgery. The more I read, the more I think I must have had an exceptionally good experience. Hope you continue to feel better as each day goes by!

Glad to hear that you are home & that you are well. Take it easy and listen to your body. (It will tell you what you can tolerate.)

Happy sipping & welcome to the losers' bench!

Apparently Dr. Andrew performed 2 other bariatric surgeries on the same day as mine. I was in the same room as one of the other women who was also sleeved. She had never heard of this website before. Gawd! I think I'd be lost without this website.

I have told Dr. Andrew and the Laura to add it to the booklet, this site is a awesome place and the people too!! Everyone needs to tell them to add this site address.

Lori, awesome, glad you are sleeve now.

I too woke up and thought OMG WTF. Good job we never had to pay for it. Or I would have had buyers remorse.....Not now. I LOVE MY SLEEVE.

Get lots of rest, take your meds(pain pills if needed). Remember you might not poop for a few days!! No food in that small tiny stomach. Sip, sip.
