Smoggy

No prob! My pleasure. After a squillion ignorant people telling me how risky, pioneering and unknown this surgery is, and how I must be crazy to even think of doing it- it is somewhat reassuring to see how many people ARE doing it. And we represent a very small few of people having it all over the world. Pretty cool. I'm glad you are so pumped for this- so am I! It will be a difficult journey but so worth it. Good luck for the 25th- I'll have been a sleever for 23 days by then!

What is a med cup? My date is Monday- do I need one?

Tekara everything happens for a reason, and you are so lucky that you have the chance to save your life by discovering this accidentally. You must be devastated but take hope that you know and that means you can beat it with the help of a good oncologist. I hope and pray for your speedy recovery. Xxx

July 2nd here... Monday! Eeeeek! Really starting to get quite seriously nervous/scared/jittery/anxious!!!

Oh Rootman (((HUGS))) my heart goes right out to you. Hang in there.

It is just SO heartbreaking when our darling pets become ill. My kitty is really sick at the moment and has just had a feeding tube inserted because she is so underweight. I was just thinking how ironic it was as I'm being sleeved in a week and the two of us are opposites. She is having surgery to increase weight and I'm having surgery to decrease mine. I must say the chocolate monster has been calling my name over and over recently but I have been deflecting the craving by going and feeding the strays near my building as I can't turn to my fur baby for comfort either as she is at the vet. I reckon the smelly cat food I dole out is a good deterrent as well as it makes me feel distinctly UNHUNGRY. It is so sad our fur babies cant tell us exactly what is wrong - I do hope yours get better or that their illness is short lived. You are not alone xxx

Hi everyone, FINALLY I am a week away from surgery. Eeek!

A week from today on July 2nd! Eeek!

Go for it dixienms - and everyone else too!!!! Please all just update at will. I'll do another update myself in a few days too. Just copy, paste, add yourself and post. Makes it easy... I can't believe it- ONE WEEK TO GO!

School ends for me on the 28th and my surgery is July 2nd. Good luck with yours!

I'm also a teacher and here in this part of the world we are finishing on June 28th. 4 more school days! I have a few days to prepare and then surgery on the 2nd! It is good we have the holidays as recovery time, and good to "meet" up with you lot :-)

I have a countdown thingy too and I look at it a lot! Getting kinda bervous- 8 days until July 2nd!

I met up with a friend today who has had a pin put in her leg after an accident, she was recommended to take arnica tablets after the surgery to speed healing. Anyone here been been recommended this, or used this as a post-surgery treatment?

Thanks! How much did you take after your VSG? There are no homeopaths here so can't really find out...if it is as good as people say it is, I'd like to try it out.
