Iggy-whilst I can see you have been through hell-I would still argue that you yourself have in some if your previous posts said you are one of the rarer cases!!
It was the single line statement previous to my post to which I was referring. This is in no way a reflection upon you and what you've been through but a lot of people here make sweeping comments that can scare the hell out people who are looking here for support not scare tactics.
Is it now your intention to write your story on every post to direct us to your rare case? I shouldn't think so as I am sure you are sensible enough to know-your leak was not a result
Of a mouthful of scrambled egg before your doctor said you should! I stand by why I said-if that really were the case this operation wouldn't even happen!
This is no personal dig at you at all-but there was no need for you to comment on my 'easy journey' when you know nothing of what lead me to surgery. All doctors give different advice-this we all know! So it is best to avoid making harsh comments such as "eat=leak=death" or things along those lines.
As I said-my words were nothing to do with you or your story!
I hope now you are home things improve for you.
To the OP-hope you are still doing well and managed to get through your cravings! Again-it will be worth it in the end! Xx

Maybe your NUT is a NUT for real the procedure is done on the outside of the stomach not the inside I would also think the stomach acids would breakdown staples and sutures inside the stomach

My surgery is tomorrow! I am so ready to get the initial surgery over w/ & start this journey.

Thank you all for your happy thoughts and well wishes! I have relied on this forum for advise, guidance and just general information. You all have been a great source of strength for me. I think that is a lot of the reason I'm so calm and ready.
THANK YOU!

Started my journey at 310 and down to 178 now!

I go to the hospital tomorrow morning to be sleeved.
I have wanted this day to come for more than 10 years. Here I am, finally.
Strangely, I'm not anxious. I'm not in a panic. I'm not the least bit nervous. My blood pressure is excellent, even.
I'm oddly calm and very ready. I'll go home tonight after work and get my small bag ready to go.
All of my pre-op testing went well and I'm a good surgical candidate. Although my surgeon didn't put a number on me, I lost my personal goal of 20 lbs on the two week liquid diet. I didn't cheat once. That, my friends, is a huge accomplishment. By now, if this was a 'normal' diet, I would have splurged to Celebrate my losing the 20 lbs by going for a steak and shrimp dinner with mashed potatoes and a mondo margarita.
After a 2 week liquid diet, I think that if I ate anything right now it would make me ill. I had no weakness, no jitters, no lethargy and most of all I wasn't hungry but one day early in the process. I call that success! I have been sleeping better than I ever have for the better part of 15 years.
I have to be at the hospital in the morning by 08:30 with my surgery at 10:15.
Have a wonderful day, all.

An ivc filter is a small filter they place in the big blood vessel in your belly to prevent blood clots from your legs moving up to your heart and lungs. Usually they are used in patients with high risk of clotting.

Yes, it really is a small world! I was just at the office today also! My surgery is at 10:30 with check in at 8:30! Good luck to you on Thursday!
PS who knows we may even bump into each other roaming the halls lol

Feeling so many different emotions right now … but mostly anxious to see what the future holds. But I am so ready for what is to come!! Yay! Everybody say a little prayer for me in the morning!

Dear hubby is back in preop. On his journey to a healthy lifestyle.
