Guess who's got a brand new sleeve.... ME!!!!

Hi OH Family! I'm just checking in. I'm home and taking it easy. I must admit that the whole procedure happened before I knew it! I had to be at the hospital for 6am yesterday morning. I even drove myself to the hospital. When the lady called my name, I almost bolted out of there! And telling my parents goodbye... Man, I teared up big time! It was GAME TIME! Either get sleeved or go home! Well, I am proud to say that I AM SLEEVED!! I still can't believe it! It's so unreal for me!! I'm on the loser's bench now!!! Yay!!!

The worst feeling? THE GAS! OMG! I thought I was having a heart attack! It was bad! But I walked and sipped and rested! Boy did I rest! LOL 

You all were so right! It really wasn't that bad! The worst was the gas pains when I woke up. After that, all was well! I just hope that it continues to go well from here!

I want to thank you all for your prayers and support! I am doing well and I hope to continue on this track!!

I love you all!!
Amanda

You did it!  You're sleeved!  So glad you got through the pre-op jitters & bravely made the game!  Wishing you a super smooth recovery, and let the losing begin!!!!!
