Diva, my time is actually tomorrow. I just got the call. I have to be there at 8:00 am. It seemed like such a long process, now it seems like it came so fast, lol. Well tomorrow is the big day. Prayers going up for all having surgery tomorrow.

Hey all. I am doing well. No nausea, no real pain. My abdomen is just VERY sore like I excercised too damn long. I just woke up from a great nap. I haven't slept that good in years. I feel awesome now. I walked a total of 1 mile today. I just went real slow. I have no trouble with keeping Water or broth down. So far so good, I'm only 2 days post op, so I will keep you guys posted.

Hey all I'm doing well. My surgery was at9:30 am this morning. I am home and doing well. I have been walking all day. Every hour. The pain was moderate but not unmanageable. The most pain comes from center of chest were I can feel the hernia repair. I have been sipping on Water and ice chips all day. I will start broth tomorrow. I have 4 ounce cups so I will sip one very hour. My surgeon sent me home with compression socks for next three days. And a small machine that helps lungs, I am to breath in it every hour. I start liquid anti biotics in the morning. I had Nausea when I woke up from anesthesia but one now. I am sleeping in the bed sitting up. Still walking throughout the night. I will walk out side tomorrow if I can. Okay later everyone.

Hello all doing well. Day one wasn't as bad as I thought. I've been on ice chips and Water all day. Will start broth. Pain was ,moderate but manageable. Mostly in center of chest from hernia repair. I've been walking al day. Changed drain twice. Wilhelmina you posted.

Well, there's been a change, my surgery got moved up seven days. I am happy that it's closer but damn, it's close for real. I talked a whole bunch of cash money talk about being ready yesterday, lol lol. But now I really need to be ready. Man the time is almost here. Here I come beach and bathing suit. Here I come energy. Good bye sleep apnea, hiatal hernia, GERD, high cholesterol and high blood pressure. GOOD BYE!!!!!

My study was an at home study. The mailed me a device that I had to use for 3 days and send back. It was simple. Then I picked up my CPAP from a local office. I hate the thing but it does help me sleep better.

Thanks Sandisleeve, I look at you and am motivated that it will all be worth it.

Just got the call. Tomorrow morning at 8:00 am.

You look great!

Yes I've had those. They are really good. Most of the morning star products are awesome! How are you doing 5 weeks out with eating? I've got 1 day left before surgery.

One more day of Clear Liquids before the big day! It was a little tough. I can't imagine not being hungry ans only being filled up by a couple of bites of food, but I shall soon see. It's almost like a dream. Good luck to those having surgery tomorrow.

@@skinnygirlwithin, wow that must have been scary! I'm so happy to hear that you are ok now. That's great!

Thanks Sandisleeve, I look at you and am motivated that it will all be worth it.

You look great! Congratulations!

That's awesome AL, keep us posted. Prayers up! You're gonna do great! I've got two more days.

I couldn't be happier with my new me:)

My wife and I are eagerly and nervously anticipating our May 20th surgeries. Our day will start in Ohio and end with surgery late in the afternoon in Tijuana, Mexico. It will be a long day but well worth it!

Awesome you look great!!

Well guys, I've got three days left before surgery. I turned 40 3 weeks ago and promised myself the next chapter of my life would be better than the first. I started researching 3 years ago. I was scheduled twice to go to Mexico and chickened out. I just wanted to feel more comfortable that I had a surgeon who was closer at home for follow up care. I'm 5'2, my highest weight was 212 and currently while on pre op I'm 204. I have all the damn co-morbids ( high blood pressure, high cholesterol, sleep apnea, GERD and hiatal hernia), except for diabetes but I'm sure I would have been well on my way. I started my US insurance journey 6 months ago and now I am here. Who knew I was a mess and had to face reality, lol. I just want to feel healthy again. The last 7 years of my life have been miserable!!! I am looking forward to a new, healthy life style. I want to run again and be able to sleep without this damn mask. I feel like a super hero with this thing stuck to my face every night. Not to mention, it's just not sexy, lol. I guess I'm ranting as the nerves are setting in a bit. I just wanted to introduce myself and say hey to all. i look forward to supporting you all as well as receiving support. Im Gonna journal daily for those who have not been sleeved yet. It sure helped me to read the post of others! Later all.....
