I go through this a lot. My surgery is Sept 17th. I have never had surgery for anything. So this is my very first time. My mind is racing a mile a minute. With fear, happiness, scared, elated....etc. So I am just trying to stay positive. I watch/read stories others have written about their surgery and my emotions change. Some stories make me think "this is why you are gettting the surgery" and some that I see make me think "is the surgery really necessary" I keep telling myself yes because i am 30, 5'3, 302lb and i have a family that needs me (husband and 4 children). I would like any and all prayers as i am going through this journey.

I am really praying hard for you as i don't know what to tell you. I have 3 children and have not had my surgery yet. Stuff like this really scares me. I am praying that my surgery goes smoothly as we are to 2 parent working household. I will keep you in my prayers. I can't imagine going to the hospital for so long.... Stay strong and don't give up....

I will be sleeved on Sept 17 I am 30. I am nervous as HELLO! Anyway how was your pain level? How long was your recovery post sleeve? How much are you able to get down now? What type of protein are you drinking?

I really feel like throwing out my tv. It seems like since I started my pre-op diet everything about food has been popping on the screen. Is it just that i want to eat it or am i just seeing things differently? EMOTIONS

I am going through the same thing as you. I too have 3 children and my husband will have to take care of them while i am in the hospital. I am praying that i dont have any complications because i need to be home with my babies. My sister is going to stay with me the 1st night that i am in the hospital. My husband will stay home. I figure i should be good the 2nd night as i wont be on the meds so heavily. I hope!!

WOW!! You look great.

Yeah my official day to start my liquid diet is on the 3rd but i am starting tomorrow because I want to get the 2 torture days out of the way.

YAY!!! We are surgery twins my surgery is Sept.17 @1:00p.m. Good Luck

I didn't have to do a supervised diet. I got approved 1 day after my psy eval. My surgery is Sept 17th.

i will be having surgery on Sept. 17th, this is one side effect that i am not looking forward to because i go twice a day everyday...

I am so happy that you are doing great my surgery day is Sept. 17th...

OMG I'm so freaked out now. I had finally gotten myself mentally prepared then i read this post....My surgery is Sept. 17...#totally freaked out

Okay i got to know since the time is getting so close... how are you feeling? What are you thinking? Are you ready? When does you liquid diet start? What time is your surgery? I'm at 1:00pm. I have butterflies in my stomach and i can not stop researching, watching you tube vids, and waking up/going to sleep thinking about the surgery.

#100 -YOU LOOK AWESOME...You look great, i looked at the before and after pic with your hubby....

Yet another reason why i am having this surgery...Can't wait to show my husband what i can really do to him...LOL
