Have to be at the hospital at 5:30 Monday morning to finish out my band to sleeve revision.  I am terrified!  The thought of only have a small part of my stomach left just freeks me out.  I am scared that my stomach will not heal right and there will be complications with the portion that is left.  I am scared of pain and nausea after surgery. I am scared that I will fail this surgery like I did with the band. 

I had my band removed on Monday 7/30 and by yesterday felt almost back to normal.  Not much pain at all so I am hoping that with the sleeve it will go just as smooth.  My husband will be off the whole week and I go for one day of teacher training on 8/17 and then another week off till school starts back up.  Plenty of time to recover, I think. 

I just pray that the first 3 weeks fly by with the full liquids.  I really like the protein shakes so I'm not worried about drinking them.  Even after having my band ou****er just tastes different so I hope that will get better. 

If any of you have any advise on how to get through the first week with pain, nausea and painful BM's please let me know.  Is it okay to take Milk of Magnesia everyday?
