Congrats! I think a lot of us were considering the sleeve for me especially being able to still take NSAIDs but considering I love all things sweet. I thought roux en y is a better bang for my buck.

Absolutely no worries with the EGD you literally fall asleep and wake up like nothing ever happened to you. You will be a little drowsy for the rest of the evening, but just sleep that off. Also be sure to drink water after for your throat.

What do you tell people?
Smilejoelle1 replied to Sabrina Roberts's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It seems to me that you already know the why you don't want to tell. Until your ready it is totally your choice to not give personal information to those who it doesn't belong to. So simply say: I'll be off for a few weeks, to take care of personal matters." And if someone presses just say, " I love(like, care, whatever but I'd prefer not to discuss it." -

I don't think I've ever been good at keeping secrets, so I've just slowly started dropping hints. I've been eating really healthy lately and people are asking questions, so instead of beating around the bush I just tell them. -
it was a stricture!

Glad that you're feeling better! -
I guess this is a reality check that I may not get all I want, but I'm praying that my roots are weight related!

I've also been trying to do this approach. I will say I have noticed that after eating really well and if I go on a carb binge, I am so exhausted that I feel like I can't move one bit!

I actually have two but my new one for this journey is : Biggirlbiggerheart.wordpress.com My running blog is: Plussizerunner.wordpress.com I'm excited to check out everyone's blogs. I feel it helps me to see others journeys!

Just wanted to say that it scares me that I'm the only I one at my support group and I was one of two at the last one. It's a little shockingly disappointing! So I guess I'm saying I'm grateful for online communities like this one!!

Lol yes and I went to one of the support meetings a few staffers were there as patients so that is nice to see as well! Best wishes with your upcoming surgery date!
-
I'm in the same boat of having my own date in mind. Best wishes ladies!

Picoza I just realized. I think we are messaging each other on the Vertical Sleeve boards, lol. I just got your pm. I too have changed paths, lol.

I have to say though I appreciate not having the waiting period. I think mentally the period is needed. Sometimes it scares me that everything is moving so fastly and I strongly believe that learning to stick with this takes time and learning before gives an edge.

I'm also having Dr. Chand. (Isn't he cute? :wub: ) I have my last visit with the nutritionist on the 31st and after that Katie told me they'd give a tentative surgery date, since they'll submit to insurance.
