 Congrats!!  It's amazing.  I was sleeved on 6/12.

I'm sleeved i can not belive it! Had surgery yesterday morning. Don't get out if the hospital till tomorrow. First night was rough because of gas pain and nausea and vomiting a few times. It was the morphine making my tummy icky. Feel so much better on the liquid loratabs. Been walking and siping.

The title says it all, tomorrow is THE day for me !  I am soooo excited!  See you on the other side!

 Good luck to you with your surgery!!  Be sure to check in and let us know how you're doing afterwards.  I am 9 days postop and feeling great!  Today is my 47th birthday and the sleeve is going to be the best birthday present I've ever gotten myself.  I told my kids they could float a candle in my protein shake.  It doesn't bother me that I can't eat my 'birthday' meal today.  My kids and I have decided on other things to do to celebrate today.  Finally, I'm learning not everything has to be associated with food.  I'm on 3 weeks of full liquids and haven't had a problem yet.  The couple times I've felt hungry were when I was walking through Walmart to pick up some things for my kids.  But as long as I'm keeping my liquids in me, I don't have physical hunger.  It's amazing how many commercials there are for food items on TV and just everywhere you go.  Just keep sipping and ignore them, the 'hunger' feelings pass quickly.  You'll do great with a positive attitude!  The sleeve is for your health and since it's your health, only you can make the decision about what's best for you.  I had some tell me that I didn't look that heavy.  Looks are deceiving.  I felt heavy for too long.  Good luck!!

 It was so nice of Elaine to start this June Sleevers group!  I hope we hear from her soon.
