That's so awesome! Good for you! I cannot imagine what it will be like to be in Onderland. I reckin it will be fabulous!

Oh I'm so sorry you are feeling like poo I've heard from so many people that the frist couple of days are the worst, and people are often wondering why on earth they got the surgery! But it gets better and it turns out to be the best decision they ever made! I am being sleeved tomorrow and told my husband to remind me of this when I am lying in bed complaining. Keep us posted, just know it will get better!

Just try to keep perspective. This is a new way of life, not a race. If you were trying to lose weight before your surgery, and were losing over a pound a day, I'm guessing you would be doing a big happy dance. Just think of where you will be in another two weeks, and then another, and so on! Try to keep the bigger picture in mind, and don't let the numbers control you.

Okay I'm so glad you are getting a new doc! It's concerning your doc doesn't seem to want what is best for you... Anyways, once you see the new doc, hopefully they will recommend surgery and get the process rolling. As far as comorbidities-have you ever had problems with sleeping, blood sugars, infertility, blood pressure, arthritis? Like others have said, document document, document!

Thank you! Glad you are having a good recovery!

I cannot believe in 24 hours time I will be in surgery! I'm so grateful for all of the advice and support from this site! God bless everyone !

So good to hear from you! Glad things went well!

Good luck my dear. I'll be thinking of you. My day is tomorrow!

You go girl!!! You look AWESOME!

I have seen other people who are not required to do a preop diet. Every surgeon is different!

Congrats!!!

I'm getting sleeved on Thursday, but I definitely plan on having more children. It is recommended you wait 12-18 months after surgery.

I'm sure it does!! I've said it before but I am so incredibly grateful for this site! I can't imagine going through all this without the support here. i'm praying for you girl and will keeps my eyes out for a post from you. And can I just say, if you look that sassy now (your profile pic) watch OUT world when Ms. Carey starts getting smaller! Thank you very much for the encouragement. I will do my best!

Yes, I am. Excited, nervous, anxious, happy, fearful, all at the same time! LoL Please post as soon as you can tomorrow!

This is EXACTLY what I needed to read right now. Thank you. I'm being sleeved on Thursday and my nerves are really starting to get the best of me. My brain is wandering saying 'Are you sure you can't do this on your own?' and 'Are you ready to leave you son behind?' I need to FOCUS on the POSITIVE and the reasons I'm doing this.

Awesome! Congrats! Keep us posted on your progress! I'm getting sleeved on Thursday! The time is finally here!

That's so awesome! What an inspriation. I'm getting sleeved on Thursday, and it's stories like yours that make me so excited to start my new life! The thought of being in Onderland! Last time I was there, I was a young teenager!!! Awesome work girl!

Hello! August 8th is my wedding anniversary! yay! a special day! We care getting So close. thursday seems so close, and yet so far away! eek!

Good luck! I have the same sentiments, I vow to always remember what it was like to be a larger person and suffer from that discrimination! Keep us posted on how it goes.

I understand how you feel. My surgery is on Thursday!!! I cannot beleive it!!! Just focus on why you are doing this, and the benefits of getting this weight off! I keep telling people my new life starts Thursday!!!

You go girl!! You look awesome! 4 days until my sleeve!!

Absolutely. I hear that can be uncomfortable. Have you tried the gasx strips?

I can't offer a lot of advice, except to tell you that there are many people on this site who have gone to Mexico and had positive results.

No, no, absolutely not! Please call your doc right away! Could be a sign of infection or other issue. Please do not mess with this! Keep us posted!

Another option is OA online. They have great resources and then a sort of chat room that people join and then the meeting is conducted online in that format. I live on the booneys so the nearest meeting was over an hour away. That was a nice option.
