Good luck tomorrow! I have no advice because I have not had surgery yet. My surgery is only 8 days away! Let us know how you are doing.

Re: new here, getting sleeved tommorrow!!
Best advise I can think of would be to hydrate yourself really well the next few days because from what I've read/been told it helps the healing process!! Best of luck, you'll do great....I'll be sleeve few days after you on Friday

Re: new here, getting sleeved tommorrow!!
Start walking as soon as they will let you. That helped me soooo much. The pain was not near as bad as I had it in my head. The waiting game was the worst for me.

Re: new here, getting sleeved tommorrow!!
100% this! The first time the nurse literally had to drag me out of bed in the hospital to get me to walk around! It really does help the gas pain after surgery to walk around.
