I really can't wait for this! Since I've gained all this weight my sex life became almost non existent which is killing my fiancée! Sex here I come!

So I had my first fill yesterday. He put in 4cc right now I can't really tell a diff probably becuz I'm back to liquids but I hope the 4cc helps.... Anyway I asked my dr if I should be measuring my food, and he told me no!? He said don't measure, buy a smaller plate eat your Proteins first if your still hungry eat the veggies. But I never thought of it the way he explained. If you out a little food in a big ol plate you feel deprived. But in a much smaller plate it looks full and your brain will think you have a nice full plate if food! I thought it was a pretty cool idea!

I did the same thing! I wore a really loose sundress and flip flops to the hospital along with granny panties lol didnt want the nurse seeing me in anything else! Haha when u get there they will make u take everything off including undies, afterwards my mom helped me get dressed and the sun dress was perfect! I also lived in nightgowns and really big t shirts... I'm 2 weeks post of tomorrow and that's what I'm still wearing, I still don't like the feeling of anything right around my incisions... Yesterday I tried jeans and it hurt... My port incision is still bruised and VERY sore def invest in sum cheap nightgowns, I say cheap becuz before u know it they will be too big!

Ya only liquids for me post op too... He did tell me tho that id probably be off liquids sooner then other patients becuz I'm at the very low end of even being approved becuz my bmi is at exactly 35... But who knows, everyone is different! My surgery is Thursday, can not wait! It seems the closer it gets the slower the days go by!

It def depends on your insurance... Which do u have? I believe my consult was in march, I did my psych, nutritionist, and pulmonoligist and also an upper gi, then went back to my surgeon they booked my surgery for may 30th and then submitted to my insurance the Monday after Mother's Day, and by that Friday I was approved! So my surgery is this Thursday! 2 months felt like forever especially guessing if your ins will cover it, and thinking the what ifs... But just be patient and don't stress, I did and I drive myself crazy for 2 months lol

Well hospital just called, I have to be there at 9! The biggest thing that's Gona kill me is no coffee in the morning! Lol

Thanks guys... After this is all done ill have some time to think about everything... I know my heart wants him to change but my head always knew he wouldn't... He's 28 years old and still acts like he's an 18 yr old boy... It just gets me so mad that he knew how importent this is for me, and could care less... God forbid something happens... That's on his conciounse...or how ever u spell it lol

Thank you guys for putting it into perspective for me... He has his priorities all wrong, and for the 5 years we've been together they always have been wrong, before he proposed to me I broke up with him n we didn't see each other for 6 months... I guess realizing how good I was to him how'd I'd do anything for him n the grass isn't greener on the other side he told me he changed.... Promised me he'd start working promised me partying didnt mean anything to him anymore, his friends that were all shitty friends ment nothing, it was suppose to be just about me and him.. N then he proposed.... And was great for a few months... Then everything went to back to being all about him again... And I keep giving him chances n chances and I guess he really doesn't care... He just puts me down... I guess your all right if he really loved me he'd be there for me... I guess I was that stupid to believe him... But I kno I have u guys and my moms Gona come with me and of course she's Gona say oh why isn't Danny here???? And then I'll get the I told u so... I'm just sad becuz someone I love so much maybe just doesn't love me as much

This is why I love each and every one of you guys! Thank u all!

My fiancée always puts everything ahead if my so i asked 3 weeks ago, u promise you'll be there in recovery waiting and he promised he would... As many other promises he broke, and now 2 days b4 surgery guess what...he can't make it...his excuse is he had no ride there... I told him d pick him up wendsday he could stay over and then Thursday was my appointment...he canceled his pt today becuz he was hung our and now Thursday at 630 is pt again... He can cancel it becuz he's hungover but not because his fiancée is in majors surgery...his answer was well u chose to do this...I just want him there with me... He's Gona be my husband but can't come... In sad mad wanting to kill him I hate him that he puts everything first...- and he promised he'd come n now won't... Wtf...

I didn't even think about getting that...

I went for my pre op yesterday, I had already gone for my lab work a week b4 that, yesterday they read me all the risks of the surgery went over everything, basically had to sign my life away lol and that was about it... Just have to go for an EKG tomorrow n then surgery is next Thursday!

Steph, you'll do great! Like everyone else said we've come so far, prepared our minds for this huge change and one week to change the rest of our lives will be worth it! Don't give up and never say u can't do it, becuz you CAN! I go for my pre op today so I'll find out what I have to do and my surgery is next Thursday! It will be all worth it in the end... And if you ever need someone I'm here! We have this life changing opportunity that many ppl don't... And keep busy! Time will fly!

Bb, I think it's terrible the your sisters will not support you! I myself have 2 sisters... And neither one of them want me to have this done either, because my one sister was heavy and lost a great deal if weight "the old fashion wat" she keeps telling me to do the sane! I've done that for years and yes it works for a few lbs n then all comes back! We are trying to get our selfs healthy, as I'm pretty sick and praying this will help! And my parents don't think it's a great idea but they will support me no matter what,, if you ever need to talk or vent, feel free to shoot me an email! Everyone here is great and a great support team!
