Anyone have any suggestions? I'm so excited. I'm counting the days lol

I asked about my stomach, and he said it was small, but I had been fasting and on a diet so that was to be expected. He also said my liver was large but not crazy. I have pictures of the inside of my stomach from the EGD before. Really gross to me, but my 6 y/o got a kick out of it lol

I was sleeved on the 4th, and it seems like mostly everyone has had a smooth time. Mine wasn't terribly bad, but it wasn't great either. I remember waking up right after surgery in excruciating pain (I think that's the part most people don't remember, I'm the lucky one). They finally got my pain under control, and I got to see my husband. I had a catheter in, which I requested be taken out that night. They wanted me to go pee by 4AM or else they were going to put it back in. Luckily I finally got my lady parts working at 4 on the dot lol.... The gas pain sucks, the incision pain sucks. I popped an internal suture in my lower abdomen when I coughed so that didn't help. It hurt to swallow the first few days and I would get those muscle spasms in my stomach. Thankfully that went away! I'm doing pretty well getting in all my protein, just need to work on my hydration. I haven't lost any weight yet, and I think I'm going to stay away from the scale until my 3 week checkup.

Woot! I can't believe the day is finally here!

amazing!

That's fantastic to hear. My surgery is in two days, and I am thinking the same way you did. I hope I have the same outcome as you thus far Congrats!

Wishing you lots and lots of luck and a speedy recovery!

This is exactly how I've been feeling the past few days. I'm sad that it comes down to this. I feel like I'm insane for "mutilating" (A previous hematologist told me this once) my body in order for me to successfully lose weight. It has been a long process for me so far, and I've got 8 days to go. I guess I will be riding that huge wave of anxiety with ya! Surfs up

Less than two weeks left and I'm starting to feel like a big chicken! Part of me wants to cancel, but I know I just have/want to go through with this. Oi.

Wow! I can't believe how fast time flew by once I got my date. It was torture waiting this long, but man.. 19 days to go!

My first appointment with him was in June, but he personally requires a 6 month weigh in with the nutritionist. My surgery date is the 4th

I'm going to make a quick change in mine

You REALLY need to take that iron. If you're low in iron, you will experience easy bruising, bleeding gums and/or nosebleeds.

Wishing you lots and lots of luck!
