Sleeved march 6th. Can someone add me to Facebook also. Tammy Long

Glad all is good. Just take it easy. And very proud of you for taking precautions by going to the hospital. Better safe than sorry.

I am now 17 days post op but I so remember the day of my surgery. I had the most aweful feeling of what have I done. I felt life as I knew it was over. You start to feel as if you will never eat normal food ever again like social events are a thing of your past. I just kept praying and praying for gods help. I so badly wanted to get on here and scream don't do it don't do it. I'm glad to say things are much better. It gets easier day by day. I am now down 30 lbs and that's helps with the adjustment. Just take it day by day.

Hi all! I am 16 days post op today. I had a little set back with surgery and required 2 things of blood and had to stay 2 days longer than I planned. The concern I have is that I still don't have any strength and was wondering if everyone else is having the same problem. Maybe I'm just too impatient but I'm normally a very busy active person.

Im so sorry that yours got pushed back. I have been so worried about that happening.

There are so many people on here that I hope I get the chance to meet sometime. Maybe i can meet some of you at the support groups meetings.

Good luck today!

Thank you megs81. I have done the liquid diet as asked and am on my broth today. Who thought broth would taste so good. Im ready for tomorrow.

I cant believe I just found these posts today. My surgery is tomorrow with Dr.Varnell. I still dont know what time, I m still waiting for my phone call. I am so excited to get started on my new life and then I start feeling scared. I am scared to death that something bad will go wrong during surgery and I will develope a leak or infection or something. I just keep praying and then I feel a little better until it creeps up on me again.

I would like to do a marathon also. When and where is it? Im definately going to need to train.
