Congrats on the easy time !

How exciting ! Said a prayer for you this morning ! let us know how you are : )

My birthday is November 9th and my surgery day is the 9th !

Yes ! I'm so excited to find someone with the same date as myself...super cool : )What have you done to get ready? Will you start the pre op diet on the 25th or 26th? Im thinking of buying the bariatric vitamins that the doctor sells in his office....I can't think of th name of them right now. I stocked up on Unjury for my protein shakes..read that it was the best tasting.

I am November 9th ! I had two dates to choose from and took the 9th as it is also my birthday.....thought it a divine thing as well LOL!

November 9th here : )

Thanks for being honest and sharing in order to help others : ) I applaud you !

November 9 here

happy for ya !

I'm nov 9th ! Welcome! I start my liquid diet on the 25 or 26 th !

Death is a factor in ALL surgeries and truthfully in each moment of our lives. We will never live a happy and full life full of fear . We all are aware of the dangers and have been informed .

Oh, I have lost my sense of smell and so I'm hoping that I might possibly smell something again LOL! Woo Hoo that would be awesome ! I hope I get to smell a Christmas tree and a baby slathered in that pink baby magic lotion LOL! These are my two favorite smells....Its been 15 years since it disappeared : ( i hear tell, part of my problem with gaining weight...My sense of taste has greatly diminished as well ...

I think you have a bit of depression and I've been told it comes with the surgery. I'm sure this will improve for you. : ) Try and focus on the positive. I suggest making a list of the good things and reading over them during these tough times. I'm excitd you feel so well, this encourages me ! I've yet to have my surgery. You will be fine and soon I imagine !

Welcome Yael ! So very glad to have you ! Keep us updated on our progress. I have my next appt on the 17th of this month ( next week ) and am anxious to speak with my doctor. i was scheduled for the band but called and told them i wanted the sleeve instead. I hope to hear about my approval from my insurance on this new procedure. I already had my approval for the band. Woo Hoo ...exciting days ahead !

Congratulations....I know I was scared and nervous too LOL! It was easy breezy ...no big deal at all.

Yes, God is with you all and with us : ) Things are so much easier with God in your life aren't they !

Good luck ! Just think...the start of a new life for you...excited for you and all the others....post away...we are here for you !

We are here for you ! Just think, you are almost there and I have yet to start a pre op diet : ) I start mine in a couple of weeks......Best of luck to you !!!

You will do well......so excited for you.....post away as you need....we are ready to support you : ) I'll be anxiously awaiting the good news !

I think your case was so much worse because of neglect. If your Dr. would have listened to you or you had went on to someone else when he did not , things would have decreased in severity. Leaks are serious we all agree. I think we can all learn from your experience. If we have a concern and are not heard,take on to someone who will listen. We are responsible for ourselves too ,not just our doctors. I am curious as to where the 1 in 400 came from . Can you post the web site that you are referencing ? Thanks !

You all the best!

For myself, i look at why I'm on this forum in the first place. Faliure at dieting is why I'm here. Things will never change for me unless I try something different. As far as the friends go, if you lose them they were never your friends to begin with. I would rather find out now. I'm just looking for quality of life. You can get terrified when reading on here as well as encouraged. If you get too scared then wait : ) The surgery isn't going to disappear and will be here when you are ready and if you are ready. Could be this isn't the choice for you. I hope it all works out for the best for you Nicci. MY surgery day is Nov. 9th and Iwill be posting my surgery story as it unfolds. I guess the most important thing I would like to pass along is that food is KILLING us. Its just a slower death .

Awesome...good to her of someone making this change with a low BMI...Mine is also...I weigh right a 200 and people are making me feel bad for wanting the surgery......I've done nothing but gain weight for the last 12 years and dieting no longer works...I can't make myself stick to the diets longs enough.....with this,i will have to..: ) looking forward to better health,lower BP, losing that CPap machine and walking easier....

I would call your Dr. Office and ask them..this stuff is very important. Is the surgery October or November?
