Getting sleeved today! So excited and nervous about what it will be like when I wake up!

My doctor has it on the list of stuff to prepare with. He's been doing bariatric surgery for 30 years and the first doctor in my state to do laparoscopic surgery. The kind I got were tiny capsules, I guess you could chew it if it were needed. I actually posted about this in another post asking if it helps. Hopefully I will get some replies and I'll let you know

I saw where some people take gas-x.... Has anyone tried this and does it help?

Do you know what time your surgery is? I think mine is at 9:30. I'll send you a message as soon as I can after. We are both going to do great! Don't forget to take gas-x with you. I hear it really helps!

I've had far too many surgeries . I have a rare type of brain tumor that helped contribute to my weight gain. I'm doing this, like everyone else, to try to reduce my morbidity. But with my underlying condition I'm virtually being a guinea pig in hopes it will help, but I guess someone has to be the first one to do it, so here I go!

I'm excited, scared, wish I could fast forward 3 months and know everything will be fine and I made the right decision. My insurance doesn't cover bariatric surgery so I'm paying out so much to have it. I just wish I knew it will all be good after.

I'm on the 20th too. Also looking for a buddy that is having surgery the same day. I'm on day 2 of clear liquid diet . Here's to new better beginnings for all of us!!!

Looking for a surgery Buddy that is having surgery the same day to offer each other encouragement and check in periodically. Please message if interested.

August 20th for me! Started liquid diet today! Wish I could fast forward 3 month!
