I am from edmonton!!! Getting sleeved today!!! Yikes!!

I am sitting in a hotel room, just took my antibiotic and I am getting ready for bed, when I wake up tomorrow morning I will be on my way to get my sleeve. WOW.... I am all over still and just kind of want to be doing it right now.. I know I am not changing my mind, I know this is what Ineed to do, and now the nerves fear etc, are just annoying.. LETS DO THIS... Hope the pill they gave me to help sleep works I would love to have a good sleep. Hope everyone is doing amazing, and Keep in touch here when you can.

I am feeling much better, not that I have met the doctors, toured the very clean and wonderful hospital. It was all professional and comforting. Now I just have regular nerves of having surgery... Tomorrow at 9:00!! I am excited to be over that part and on to healing and whatever may come my way.. Check in and let us know how you are all doing??

I am getting picked up by my driver in 10 minutes to drive to mexico. And then I have all my preop tests today and then I can finally eat... This very real right now and I am still excited and super scared.... I hope they give me something to sleep tonight or I am going to be up all night.

No my surgery is March 1 in the morning. We arrived a day early.

Good Morning everyone!! Thinking of you all... Keep posting... I want to know how everyone is doing..

Yay!!! Good Luck!! That will be me tomorrow.

So I have arrived at hotel. We are going to go shopping and try to relax a little ( if I can) I was pretty emotional this morning saying good bye to my kids. Basically up and down feeling good, scary, excited, I know my surgery is first thing in the morning. I cannot wait to just be in recovery and know I am ok, sleeved and using the tool to change my life.

I am on my way to San Diego !!! It begins!!!

Best Wishes for you tomorrow. I am feeling pretty calm myself right now.. hope it stays with me through my travels to surgery on Friday. Post lots I am going to be watching to see how you do!!!

My stats are similar to yours.. I am 5'5' and 215 and surgery is in 3 days.. I hope I see results similar to yours...

I am not sure why I came here right now. I am actually packing for my trip tomorrow while my son is in the bath tub. Today seems like any other day really, except well I am done work for 3 weeks, I am leaving my family tomorrow to go to San Diego and on Friday I am having surgery... The strangest part is.... yes I am scared.. so scared.. complications, seriously not waking up and PAIN.. I worry breathing wont be comfortable or that I will regret it. I have been reading here and I hear the same worries and I know I am not alone. I think it is part of the journey.. I have been in the considering stage, the researching stage, the telling hubby (and hoping it wont think I am nuts), the finding the money stage, choosing a doctor and making it work for my family of 4. And through all the stages I was scared, worried and excited.. and with each stage I moved forward, I know this is the right choice. So I am going to try and embrace my worry and fears and allow them their moment, but I am not going to lose my excitement.. and when in doubt I am going to come here and write it down.... get it out and move on.... That's how i feel right now, give me an hour and I might be freaking out.... LOL

March 1 for me with Dr. Aceves.. I leave tomorrow for San Diego.. I go back and forth between fear and excitement. I think it would be strange if we didnt. I am nervous about leaving my babes too. But Part of the reason I am doing it, is to be a better mom to them, a healthier and more active mom.. I think that is worth the few days I will be gone.

Anyone?? I am on Friday???

I am so Happy you are feeling so great.. I am sleeved on Friday and your experience is very comforting.

Also I want a ticker... Where can I find one???

I cannot believe I leave tomorrow. I am at work for the last day until I return in a few weeks, I am trying to get my desk clear, but I cannot stop thinking about the surgery.. I get so excited to be on this journey, and then scared about the actual surgery. Sometime I feel brave, other times I feel crazy.... Back and forth. My pre op is not too bad as much protien as I want. So of course I would love some carbs!!! LOL, but holding true... I will be so happy when I am in the recovery room... and all is ok....

Thinking of you all today!!!

I have a seven year old daughter!! So far they have kept the germs away!!! I was very nervous to go to another country, but honestly once I started talking with them I felt really good about it. I have a friend who was sleeved by him in June 2012 and that helps too.

I am going to Dr.Aceves!!! When are you flying out?? We totally need to stay in touch!!!

I am a March 1 sleever!! Happy to join the team!!

OH I was so happy to see this thread today!!!! I am a March 1 - Sleever too!!!! I am excited and nervous and scared and well you all know the drill, it changes moment to moment. I am a self pay to mexico and honestly I am just ready to go NOW!!!! My preop is fairly open - as much protien as I want - avoid the carbs. I am so excited to "meet" all of you March 1 -7 sleevers... It will nice to be with people who are going through the sames things!!! YAY
