I know right! I keep thinking something will happen... My liver will be too big or something crazy! Ughhh can't wait til it's DONE!!!

2/6 I was sleeved! *waving* still some soreness..but not hungry, I love it!

Hello everyone, I just had the sleeve on the 18th and I believe it is one of the best things I have ever done in my life for my life. I had so many thoughts and questions about going under on the anesthesia that you would not even think of.
I had bad thoughts that I would probably wake up during the procedure, or that after affect on the pain. Besides what my mind was telling me I was thinking? UMM what would happen if I have a heart attack right now I would have to go under all these situations no matter what if I get to the ER and they have to do open heart surgery?
So, there were two young girls that on YouTube that had the procedure done and I was like man I am a puss. Then the moment had come. 4:30 wake up time get to the hospital at 5:30 am. My nervous were pretty much contain but then wanted to go crazy.
Then came my name Felix you are the first patient. 6:00 am prep, 7:00 am in the surgery room speaking to the anesthesiologist and he told me "Felix you will fell not a thing and you will be in another world." I started to laugh and I told him well can I have some medication in a cup to take home? We had a great chuckle.
He told me breath in the mask for a treatment. I told three breaths of treatments" YEA RIGHT!! treatment..
That is all I remember.. After all that I woke up in the recovery room drugged up. Those drugs were so good I felt asleep every time. enjoy the sleep guys!!! People and visitors and nurses and doctors will be visiting.
Besides that Recovery went well and now I am home eating a burrito watching the biggest loser.. Sike naw. Clear liquid my family I am still under clear liquid.
Please, don't forget you will get tempted to eat as you were before, especially all these commercials and family visiting and cooking and they don't understand the way you need to change the way you need to eat.
Look at you goal and it's worth the little pain you will go through. It's time to were skinny jeans this year!!! naw just kidding..
It's time to get healthy once again... you will not regret it.

This is a lucky day! It's my Bday and I will be sleeved on 2/9
Much luck to you I am a ball of mess 19 days to go

Hi,
Well, first of all congratulations. You are definately at the right place to go for any questions you have about VSG. Pre op all I did was read about it, talk to people who had wls, and watched every YouTube video I could find.
I think the best thing was how prepared I was and how much I wanted to do it. There was no doubt, so I never got the blues after. The pre op diet sucked. I did 2 weeks which is hard because your hungry and you want to have "food funerals" but I was so afraid they would cancel the surgery that I did well and lost 12lbs. The surgery went great. The first day your just exhausted because of the anesthesia but you need to walk because the
gas pain is pretty bad. After they took the catheter out I got up and walked during the night because there was less people around. Once they took the iv's out and the drain they put in one of the incision it was much more comfortable to move.
Seriously, I had the surgery on a Tuesday came home on Thursday and on Friday went to the grocery store with my hubby. I walked slow and didn't lift anything but I was out. We went to target on Saturday, Monday I was cleaning my house and on Wednesday I went back to the gym to walk slowly on the treadmill.
My surgery was on Nov 1, and so far from before preop I have lost 52lbs. I wish I had done this years ago. It amazes me that I can eat whatever I want just in very small amounts and lose weight. I do alot of Protein and I work out 5 days a week and I feel great. You will be VERY happy.
If you want to friend me on Facebook, I am part of a group of women who are in all stages of the surgery. Pre thru years. It's a great group and I can add you if you want. Good luck. You will definately not regret it!!! My Facebook name is Sandra jean wood Williams.
