    Thanks fellers. Time is inching ever so closer!!! Did the surgery effect any of you psychologically or emotionally? Like get depressed or isolated? I've never been that way ever but for some reason I'm fearing this happening.
  3. So dang nervous I can't think straight!!!!!! Don't know if I can go through with this or not!!!! I need it bad but I'm just so worried about complications!!! Waiting on the hospital to call and tell me when to be there tomorrow!!!!!

    So its hard at first then gets fairly back to normal?? I'm very ready to lose the weight but this is a big change!!!
  5. I'm really trying to relax. Its just the permanent ness of the whole thing!!! If something doesn't go right then I'm stuck with it the rest of my life!!!!! We'll see tomorrow around 8:30am!!!
  6. No, I'm not going to put it off. I'm all in now, just nervous with the "what ifs". Hopefully this time tomorrow I'll be up walking and getting acquainted with my smaller stomach!!! Wish me luck everybody and I wouldn't turn away a prayer either!!!!

    Bougie Size and Restriction

    My surgery is scheduled for Thursday and my surgeon told me he will use a 40 on me. Says its really surgeons preference but he's found that there are less problems when the bigger one is used and the weight loss is the same.

    Do people really do this s**t?

    I just love when people drop hints and "good spirited" jokes about me being fat. Ding ding ding ding!!!!!!! Thank you SO much for pointing out Tue extremely obvious!!!! I knew there was something wrong hut I just couldn't out my finger on it!!!! Thanks for being first on the scene and breaking the story!!!!!! Idiots.......
  12. My surgery is Thursday (March 21) and like you all I am VERY nervous and scared of possible complications but like my surgeon said, it's by far less risky than doing nothing!!! I don't want to leave my wife and 2 babies!!!
  13. I hope I can figure it all out. 5 days!!!!! OMG!!!!
  14. I was just wondering what the new feeling is like when you're full with a sleeve. I'm scheduled for March 21st and am still running down my list of questions. Well rehashing the hell out of them actually!!
  15. I'm scheduled for March 21st!!!! Scared and excited!!!
  16. Ok, I'm so beating a dead horse but today I have my last preop dr visit with sx scheduled for March 21. I have had a MASSIVE resurgence of fear!!!!! Will I be able to adjust to the new life?? What if this and what if that??? Very unsure and scared right now!!!!! I guess I just want to know if its worth it. Plain and simple.

    Damn I don't know what to do!

    No, there is no pressure. I LOVE hearing people say what a good experience they had. It gives me hope and eases my fears a bit. I'm sure most of us have the same fears, dreads, etc. Mine are how will it change me? Will I be able to handle the changes? Will it hurt? What about long term complications? Things like these keep bouncing around in my noggin!!

    Damn I don't know what to do!

    Damn I don't know what to do!

    Thanks guys. I just can't get around the fact that its permanent. There's no going back after the surgery is done!!!!
  20. Oh. Dang there's just so much to learn!!!!!
  21. And what are the "slimes"?
  22. Thanks for all of the replies. March 21st is a scary and exciting date at the same time!!! Just trying get as much of an idea of what I'll be facing as I can. I know that nothing beats first hand experience though!!!
  23. I wonder what causes the hiccups??

    March Sleevers Where are You

    March 21st baby!!!! Scared s*#tless!!!!
  25. Yea I know. I've rehearsed it all over and over again and the logic is there but its just the surreal feeling I get when I know that this is a PERMANENT thing!!! If it was reversible I would be so pumped and ready still.
