  1. Monday is my surgery date. I'm nervous, anxious, excited, ready. Please pray that all goes well for me. I'll post again as soon as I'm able. Thanks for your support.
  2. Congratulations! You are on the road. I hope you had a good day today. Please continue to update. My date is Monday & my nerves are beginning to buzz, Did I pick the right surgeon? Did I pick the right procedure? Will I do Ok? Will this really help? Etc. You have that behind you. I'm glad for you
  3. My prayers & wel wishes are with you both. I will be sleeved on Monday. See you on the other side. Becky
  4. Hi Anninva, I feel your freaing out. Today is Wedesday, and I fly to San Diego on Sunday, for Surgery on Monday the 10th. May we each have an easy, safe operation and recovery. Where are you having your surgery done? We need to stay in touch. I just want this waiting over! Becky
  5. The BEST of Luck to you. I am right behind you on the 10th. Hugs & Prayers!
  6. Me, I am scheduled for the 10th in Mexico. I have had my moments, and they do continue. I was reminded that sometimes there are complications by another person who posted. Still, I have to remind myself what everyone on this forum has said in many different ways. This is a wonderful tool to help improve my health & welbeing. Yes, I too have found myself feeling as tho this is my last time I can enjoy this food or that, but I try to remind myself that it may also be te last time I get on the scale and fret that I have not been able to control my food intake without help.
  7. Hi Dayle, I am so sorry you had such a horrendous hospital experience. I am being sleeved the 10th of January, and am aware there are complications to be considered. I pray you are doing lots better and will begin to enjoy the fruits of all your suffering. Keep in touch. I am very concerned about how you are recovering. Be Free
  8. Hi Big Dawg, Good Luck with your January 5th Surgery. I will be having my surgery on the 10th of January. I know some of the nerves you are feeling, but soon we will be so glad that we have gotten this tool to help ourselves be healthier. Let me know how you are doing! Be Free
  9. Hi! I think I relate to your feelings. My date is Jan 10 in Mexico. When all my arrangements were completed, I was pretty tight. I have since calmed a bit. All the people on this sight are such wonderful support. As my husband is also anxious, we are not good to talk with each other about it. However, the good folks on this site know how we feel, and are so helpful. Even if you don't write lots, just reading others successes, fears, concerns, and triumphs is such good "medicine". Soon your date will be close, and you will be so glad that you are in the right place. It's great your Mom will be with you, especially as flying is difficult for you. Good LucK! Be Free
  10. The very best of Luck, Texas Teacher. By now you are @ least in recovery. Prayers for a speedy, easy recovery. I'm awaiting my Jan 10 date, and am happy to hear about your experience. Be Free
  11. Congratulations, Is this Really Happening. You are definitely on your way. I wish you the very best and hope that you will share your experience. I am becoming a bit more anxious & excited myself as my date is Jan. 10th. I hope to celebrate with you! Becky
  12. Thanks for sharing your experience and the best of luck to you. It sounds as though you are doing GREAT! Did you have the sleeve or pication? Where did you have your surgery done? Who was your Dr.? I am scheduled to have surgery in early January and am so calmed to hear that you have no hunger and are doing great--back to work. That is so awesome. Thanks for sharing. Becky
  13. I am looking for those of us who are having sleeve surgery in January. I lost the thread. Please help

  15. Hi & the very best of luck to all of you, my fellow sleevers to be. I'm scheduled for January 10th also. I have struggled with wether to have gastric sleeve or plication. I don't know about the rest of you, but making that decision was hard for me. I think that the regular sleeve is my final choice. I previously had a lap band that failed almost immedicately, so I have anxiety about doing this again. My husband is extremely anxious about this because of the previous experience and will be going with me this time, but does not want to talk about any issues. Needless to say, I am so glad to join your group. Thanks! Becky
