Me too.

Weird I know but I'm afraid I'll wake up During the procedure (not enough anesthesia).

I start the preop diet in two weeks n I'll let u know how it goes. Will you have to do one, as well?

Yes I have to do two weeks or ten days of the protein shakes six times a day with veggies if I want. I think this is more to prep me for after. I bought a pill crusher already for my UC meds for after. To answer your other question: the surgery according to my GI should help the UC symptoms by giving me a better diet and losing the weight will ease my stress/anxiety/depression which will reduce flair ups. I have to b extra careful cuz my disease is at the very end of my colon and I cannot remove that ever. I am going into this surgery with a flair up as we speak. I hope I don't become anemic and the surgery does indeed reduce future flair ups. The insurance approved me also purely based on GI notes documenting the correlation of UC and VGS being the possible cure. ;0)

I watch the most recent ones all the time and I gave them permission to film mine, etc. :0/ I have changed my mind on that though after much thought. I feel it's good to watch the current videos out there though to be more informed and prepared.

Did u have trouble at home getting vitamjns down?

I threw up Seven times doing bikhram (without the sleeve) I commend u ladies for being so strong.

TMI, but I know some can relate to these: I look forward to being able to easily wipe my butt :0/ I'd like to not get out of breath doing the simplest tasks, like putting socks on. I can't wait to actually want to put more effort In my appearance and enjoy looking in the mirror. I can't wait to have enough guts to actually go on a date.

Congrats u r so pretty n a total inspiration! Awesome

Wellbutrin gave me insomnia even more. Prozac is working well 4 me.

28th. Thanks for adding me and for this group's support. Good luck to everyone.

No OCt 28th ;0)

I already have insomnia I hope it doesn't get worse after my sleeve :0/ good luck

Oh my gosh!!!!!! We r the same!!! I have bad ulcerative colitis. My GI thinks this will help cure it. I am 5.3 and 252. I just got approved this past wk. I get sleeved on the 28th. I can't wait for the same outcome as u hope for.

At 5.9. & 260lbs your bmi is not high enough for bariatric surgery approval

Love the haircut! I can't wait to cut mine like that one day n look as good as u :0))

No. :0/

Good question I have avid reflux already, too. Look forward to someones answer on this...

U do not even look like the same woman! Sooooo much younger n your eyes are much prettier n healthier looking face (u were beautiful then too though). Congrats! U look so happy! This inspired me for sure! :0) keep it up!

Thank you dolly!! :0)

Thank you :0)

I'm very concerned that if vomiting a lot happens after they do the post surgery barium do they check for leakage again before discharge from hospital or if vomiting continues. I'm so scared of a rupture as I know I will vomit due to my acid reflux. Thanks for your reply.

I'm going to remove mine after the sleeve. It was a skinny bear n now it's a fat bear.

For those who had a couple days in hospital post surgery did u start taking your vitamins there to see if u could handle it or did u start taking it at home? I'm curious because they told me not to bring any meds with me on surgery day . Thanks
