So my surgery is tomorrow and I can't truly put into words what I am feeling. I am feeling extremely happy that I have decided to go down this path at the same time I am nervous since it is my first surgery and I am getting 3 procedures done at once I am getting my sleeve, my hernia fixed and hopefully my gallbladder taken out. I don't know what to expect and that kind of scares me, but not enough to change my mind. In the end I know it will be worth it. I guess I am also stressed out about going back to work afterwards because I feel as though I am going to have needs that single me out and people at my job tend to be pretty immature for there age and would take offense or just think I'm getting special treatment. I work retail and it sucks so glad I'll be gone for 2 weeks. Thanks for reading my rant I look forward to doing my morning of surgery post and my first post that I have been sleeved. Ready to join the losers bench!!

I got my sleeve on July 1st. It was my first surgery also.  It isn't as scary as you think, truly. Just concentrate on you end goal. It is over quick and you will have good pain meds.  My nausea was far worse than any pain. Pain was completely under control. Just tell them how you are feeling because they can switch stuff up (meds) to find what works for you if something isn't feeling right. Remember to take tiny sips very slow. If the sips bother you at all try different temperatures. I found room temperature tea worked best for me. Good luck guys!  All will go good and you will be on your new journey before you know it!!
