For the first few days i kept trying to move myself using my ab muscles because of it being natural, just have to watch that. About the 5th day after my surgery it was like a switch was flipped and my mid section didn't hurt, unless my dog tried to bury his head in my gut.

^o^ two more days..... And I am ready. I really thought I was going to be nervous or even a bit scared (fear of hospitals) any way super excited..

Best of luck with your operation.... this guy here is super excited.

Last bit of blood work and an EKG and I am all set for surgery. Who all is getting sleeved on the 17th?

Its normal to be scared. I don't know how many times I talked my self into canceling my first visit. I have a little over a month until i go in for surgery and a little over a week for my stomach scoping. I personally i am more fearful of the scoping. Hang in there everyone that I know personally that has had the surgery is very happy that they went through it.

A little about my self. I am in my early 30's after years of poor habits and life style choices I got up to just shy of 445lbs when i was diagnosed as a diabetic. Up to that point my weight had Bounced between 375 to 420. I had tried most diets known to the human race and I was never able to get much below the 375 mark. I had contemplated surgical options but it was not until my diabetic diagnosis that I decided to get on the ball and actually explore what options I had. A handful of my family members have had weight loss surgery of one type or another and all have had amazing success. I went to the local hospital system's weight loss clinic and started all of the pre-reqs the end of last year. I have one pre-req left, I have to have my stomach scooped(Gastroscopy). It is scheduled for the 17th, and at this point I just want to get the next 40ish days down so I can getting used to life with my sleeve.
