...it's FINALLY starting to come together!!...

By Epiphany

Well, I've completed 3 months of medically supervised weight loss & waited allllll last week for the approval which didn't come until yesterday. Today I got my pre-op & surgery dates!! I go for my pre-op this Thursday & I'll get sleeved next Tuesday, September 20th!! I'm so excited that everything is finally falling into place...it seems like it's taken forever --- by far, waiting has been the hardest part of all of this!

Anyway -- please hold a good thought for me, if you're so inclined! :)

I'm soooooo looking forward to being a loser! ;)

    :rolleyes: Hey there!! I just had my VSG last Thurs 9/08. The surgery went fantastic, so I'm told! The immediate post op was a bit rough. I became very nauseated and it lasted about 3 days. Had to stay in the hospital for one extra day because I couldn't get my fluids in and needed the IV support. But, I am home now and recovering nicely.

    Hardly any pain (only taken my liquid vicodin x1) Trying to keep hydrated and get the protein in which is quite the task!! The protein shakes are difficult for me to

    injest. I know I have to though for proper healing.

    Anyhow, best of luck to you with the procedure. You won't remember anything in the OR.

    Heres to being a LOSER!! :lol:
