Crstal, A light weight? Interesting... You and I have almost the same stats. Very interesting but good to know. And yes, I would be screaming. Hang in there!! It will come off. :-)

My Center of Excellance stated that they risks are about the same with bypass and the sleeve when done properly. The issue with the sleeve is that it is a lot newer so surgeons have less practice. Like a few have stated, I wanted the risk pf dumping since I am a HUGE sweet and carb lover. So, I think it is what suits the individual needs of the patient.

OH Hang in there!! It is SOOO hard. I know. I have figured out thru this process I just can't have carbs. I love them so but as soon as I eat them, the scale shoots up. You can do this! We are here for you. Maybe start weaning yourself off of them? Antoher words eat less and less of the bakery items each day? I had to do this with chocolate.

Ladyspl, WOW no pain meds.. Glad you were able to make it through ok with out them. The pain pump and the catheter bug me more than the surgery itself. lol I see you are at AGH. I'll be at Magee on Monday. :-)

Cool I saw those the other day and wondered. Thanks

This is a great place! The info I have received here and watching people progress thru the process has been invaluable. Good luck!!

It will go fast!!!! I can't believe mine is Monday. It seems so unreal!!

I know how you feel!! We can do this!!!! :-). Good luck

Karmagirl!! We are glad to hear from you!! Happy you are doing well!! I'm the same way. I bet I cry all day Sunday. Your post makes me feel better. :-)

WHOO HOO!! Way to go!!

LA GP, You can do it!!! It is hard and I know I am dreading it. I will say this, cleaning does help. Glad to hear the rest of you are doing well. Hope all the pain passes soon!

Hi MIssWifery and welcome! This is the best place to be. People are WONDERFUL here and so helpful. I have no idea what I would have done without them. Good luck to you!! It will be here before you know it.

Melissa, Welcome!! Gald you are here and Vicki is right, TONS of great info on here. There is a December surgery thread on the pre-op board you should join. Feel free to check out us Nov folks for updates on how our surgeries are going. It helps ease the nerves. As far as Xmas, I have decided everyone is getting gift cards and heck with the decorating. lol Good luck to you!

So glad to hear everyone is either doing well or on the road to recovery. Prayers to Eva and Falicia! ________________________________________________ KellyAnn805............November 16, 2012 dottednails...................November 16, 2012 Good luck tomorrow! ________________________________________________ I'm Monday so I will REALLY be thinking abou all of you! I am trying to treat it like a business trip. lol I just feel so scattered.

Oh I'm so sorry! I told my mom only a short time before. So far she's been ok. I'm not telling people at work. What are you going to go after?? Good luck.

Awesome. Ill try it. Thanks

Kerri-Ann. Thanks for your post. I wish you good luck. I have this horrible feeling your journey will be mine. So I am glad you posted the other side. It's very real! Have you had your thyroid tested? I have a friend that hers shut down after surgery. Just something to ask your dr. Prayers. :-).

It's amazing to me how much we get jerked around by the staff. If I did my job like that is be out of one. I know the nurses are stressed but they need help. It's sad all around.

Ellie!! Wow. It seems like just a few weeks ago you made it to 199. This is so awesome!!! Congrats and keep up the good work!!!

All of you look great!! Thanks for posting

Wow. Thanks for posting! It gives me hope.

Mine said clear for a week then full for a week before I move to purée. I found unjury chicken Soup, strawberry drink and unflavored powdered to help get Protein and liquids. They taste pretty good.

This is good to know. Colace daily also helps

Great idea! I will be here next week!!

Get some rest and fluids. We are here for you!
