Hi all I am a 31 year old LVN in Texas , I was scheduled for surgery 10-9 but that has been postponed due to H Pylori ... So maybe being sleeved end of October ...hopefuly

I have a 3 year old son and i totally understand what your saying , I have the same fears running through my mind , i guess no one really ever knows what lays around the corner , but for me I am going through with it bc i believe it will keep me here longer for my son and healthier for my son ..... I too have the fear that it could turn out different ,your not alone in your fears !

My surgery for 10-9 has been postponed to An unknown date , i tested positive for H Pylori so 2 weeks of antibiotics , wait two weeks , and Retest ... Hopefuly I will still be an October sleever !

I having surgery in October and it's great to read these stories !!! Yay congrats everyone and to the OP you'll do great !!

My surgery was scheduled for 10-9 and now has to be postponed bc I tested positive for the H Pylori test . Very discouraged right now

I know , I'm sure I will have a better out look on it tomorrow , just bummed today.... Thanks

Two weeks of antibiotics and then have to re test two weeks after that so that would be after my surgery date of the 9th

I have people tell me this too I am 5'4 217 lbs with diabetes and I really don't care what they say , they aren't the ones with a life of sickness and trouble laying ahead of them ... Don't worry about others trying to talk you out of it , do what you need to do for yourself . I can totally relate to this post though

I got my pre op paperwork in the mail today !! October 9th is rapidly approaching ... Nervous and excited

Orthostatic hypotension , due to dehydration , can you tolerate Gatorade or sugar free Gatorade ? If you can this may help or maybe some broth ? You need more fluid but you also need the sodium to retain the fluid and raise your bp

I have heard great things about the mio sweet tea too , it's where the crystal light is I think

I'd see your dr and rule out phlebitis , which is an infection of the vein if it does not Significantly improve soon , hope you feel better !

Thanks for that post I am one of the lurkers taking all the information in . I am Having my surgery 10-9 and am really nervous but also very excited to gain a whole new lease on life !! Congrats on your success

I have had fleeting moments of thinking the same thing but then I just keep remembering why I am Doing this ..only you know what the right choice is for you . I am scared to but I am even more scared of living life on the sidelines to embarrassed or ashamed to participate bc I'm to fat to swim to fat for this to fat for that . I am Also doing this to kick diabetes butt too !! Or at least keep it controlled or at bay . Take some deep breaths and know that you are not alone

Update us when you feel up to it ! I have mine on October 9

It's so good to read your positive experiences !! I have my surgery on October 8 and I am super nervous about the whole thing , excited to start the journey to the new also though

I'm in Texas , how bout you

I'm getting sleeve 10-8 .. I am really exited and really nervous too !!!

Hi all I am scheduled for my surgery on October 9 , I am 31 years olds with diabetes type 2 , hypertension and high cholesterol . I am mainly doing this bc I want to change the course of my life ... I know I am on the path down a dangerous road , I was diagnosed wih dm II after gestational diabetes with my son . I was about 220 when I became pregnant . I am nervous about the surgery but I am more nervous about dialysis in the future or any other number of complications i am headed towards .. Any words of advice is welcome

I'm just having major Pre surgery jitters ... Never had surgery

Thanks everyone , I am glad this support group is here !!! It's a must for people like me with anxiety about it ... I know it's for the best
