  1. I am out of surgery now, and officially on the bench. I had a normal surgery, was feeling a bit of pain after, but they gave me some meds for it and I slept a couple hours. When I woke up the pain isnt that bad at all. Only thing I wasnt prepared for was feeling the need to pee, but not being able too. I hear this is normal, and its not really that bad at all. I am so pleased with my decision.
  2. I will be the third sleeve of the day! So excited, only a little bit nervous. So far all the good things I heard have definately coming true. Everyone is so nice and they are so thorough! I will update you all on how I feel after the surgery, or tomorrow morning depending on how zonked out I am.
  3. After everything, I have gotten financing and a date, I am soo excited. Is anyone going to see him around this date?
  4. Hey everyone, I will be getting the sleeve done in October, and I want to plan very far ahead. I am hoping some vsgers can help me make a checklist of things I am going to need post surgery. Thanks everyone!
  5. Thank You All! Your support means so much to me. I am so glad there are so many people I can share this experience with, that have gone through it as well. I just wanted to update everyone, I have used your advice, as well as letting my mom know, that I am going through with it either way. She has come around, she doesnt like talking about it, but she has allowed my dad to help me get the financing
  6. I have decided to get the gastric sleeve done by Dr. Aceves. My husband is luckily supportive, but the rest of my family is very unsupportive. My mother literaly said why don't you just try Jenny Craig, and that I am taking the easy way out.. I am so hurt and upset, how did you guys convince your family it was the right thing. I need my dad to cosign on a loan for it, and he is willing but my mom will not let him.
  7. I have attached the photo but also included the address where I got the picture. Just thought I would share this with anyone going to Mexico. Now before you assume that the left side is Mexico, it is actually the right side. Enjoy source http://www.laht.com/...ategoryId=12395
  8. Hey everyone, Looking to find out how long people have had to wait to get there sleeve done by Dr. Aceves. Does he have a long waiting list, or can you get in pretty quickly? Thanks!
