Tanisha: when were you sleeved, and how long did it take you to lose that much weight? That's quite an accomplishment. Congrats to you!

Wow! You look amazing! Congrats. I'm scheduled for 9/11. Very excited, but scared to death at the same time. I wish I could fast forward the time 9 months!

I am one month away from my sleeve date of 9/11. My anxiety is so bad right now, I don't know how I'm going to get through the month. One day I'll be fine, then the next day I'm wondering if I'm going to be able to do this. Is this normal? How can I get through it?

What do u think was worse. The sleeve surgery, or gallbladder? I'm scheduled 9/11.I had my gallbladder out 3 years ago which was a breeze compared to my c-sections. Wondering if it's similar to the sleeve ?

Thank you all! I'm ready but very nervous. I have 3 kids who need their mother....hence the reason I am doing this. I need this tool. I just hope I sail through recovery with no issues

Date of 9/11 set. Now I'm freaking out! Help!

Well, I have my tentative date of Sept 11. Now I'm freaking out!!

Thank you for that!! That's exactly what I am looking for. I want to see the great stories, and it's all the problem stories that are scaring me. I would love to hear the no issue stories. People seem to only post the bad stuff. I want to see all the good stuff. I don't think it's a slap in the face to anyone by you posting you sailed through with out issues. By u sharing the positives it helps people like me who are terrified. I wish more people told the good news.

I meant more physical like feeling nauseous or dizzy all of the time. Normal meaning not feeling like that. However, thank you for describing the other "Normal". That was never a thought to me other than now. I'm know it's going to be a strange change. When did u have the sleeve?

OTR sleever- you made me LOL. I get what your saying, but I meant physical. I want to feeli normal meaning not like Crap. Dizzy, nauseas, etc.

Thank you Helene! I just want to be certain I am making the right choice in doing this. I'm terrified

Thanks for all of your replies. I just want to feel normal. I'm not scared of the actual surgery , I'm more scared of how I'm going to feel after I heal. Hoping for zero issues.

About how long does it take after surgery to feel normal again? And other than having 80% of your stomach removed, do you feel normal? Not sure if what I'm trying to say makes sense. I'm terrified still, so I'm looking for anything positive to keep me from chickening out. I'm tentatively scheduled for September.

What's an ahhh bra? Where do u get it? Thanks!!

Congrats to you! I'm a newbie too schedule sometime in Sept. it's nice to see the good stories as I have read so many bad ones. I've been scared to death of this, but as if yesterday I surgeon let me attend his support group so I was able to meet so many sleeves w/ good stories! Wish I could fast forward the clock til December!

Did anyone use Dr Michael Perez in ft Lauderdale Florida?

You are so right! I'm doing this to get healthy and it's probably my only option in getting there! See you on the skinny side!

Really?! You can have that? Sweet! Question is, can you drink the entire serving?

Thanks Aviiva! I'm trying to only read the positive posts. The negatives ones were freaking me out! Glad to see there actually are normal positive stories.

Thanks! I'm 95% sure I'm moving forward with it. Tomorrow my surgeon is letting me meet with his monthly support group to ask many people who've had it any questions. It will be the best thing for me in the long run. I just wish it was tomorrow so I don't have more time to think and read this site.....LOL!

Ok, so the trick is to eat slow and not big bites?

I thank you all too! I was on the verge of canceling the surgery. I think I'm now back on board!!

Ewww fun! Can it happen anytime or just in the weeks following surgery?

What is "slime" that some are referring to?

Wow! You look great! I'm coming up on scheduling my surgery, but I am scared to death. I hope I don't chicken out. Stories like yours are the ones that give me hope to do this. Congrats again! You look fabulous!
