-sitting on the same swing as my son
-fitting in an airplane seat
-living the rest of my life!

Mine is today at 7:00am. I'm really excited and nervous at the same time. Good luck to all my fellow May 15 sleevers!!!

I'm totally with ya!!! I "what if" everything to death!!

May 15!! in New Iberia, LA I am getting super Excited

I'm a little nervous since it's major surgery - mine is set for 5/14 - but I'm also really excited about it! I need to change my life and this is my tool to do so! Even the last 4 days on the pre-op diet have shown me how much I need this! I lost 5 lbs in the first 2 days, but the last 2 days my body has hung on to everything. When I was talking to the psychologist on Monday, I said something like "this will be my portion controller" and I thoroughly believe that. In a way, I hate that I have to have this surgery done in order to control my portions. However, I know I can't do it by myself. I've tried too many times & failed. I am actually looking forward to not being able to chug down a Protein drink or a 32-oz Water bottle in 10 minutes (or less) after surgery! I'm a self-pay patient, which for me makes this even more important. The psychologist was self-pay also (she had surgery 4 years ago with the same doctor - I forget which surgery though) and she said she tells the doctor all the time that to her each pound she loses means the surgery really cost less (or was more worth it).
You can do this & make your life better! Just stick to all your guidelines & you'll be a new person before you know it!!
