Seattle slew Welcome! I'm 41 so I understand how you feel. Better late than never. I had a child this time last year and my weight never left. Packed on more actually. Even if your parents may not have your back at least your hubby and kids do. My hubby is my biggest cheerleader. He even did the pre op with so I wouldn't be by myself. He caved yesterday. Lol. I don't blame him. My mom is very supportive and so is my aunt. But other than a few friends that's all that knows and I am fine with that. We are here to support each other.

This is it!!! On my way to the hospital.

Ladies I pray for smooth surgeries and easy recovery for all of us. On my way to the hospital now.

This is it!!! On my way to the hospital.

Hey guys, well tomorrow is my day April21st.. I'm
Beyond anxious. Wondering is my house clean enough the the hubby ok taking over my usually duties. Dear god I hope he feeds the dog. Etc I'm shakey and anxious yet excited and impatient. I just want to do it already and start healing. Any last tips?? My anxiety is so high I feel like I am about to pass out I know I am being a baby but I can't help it. Starting weight was 273lbs but now I'm weighing in at 253.2lbs after the preop diet... I really want to get down to 135-145lbs. Is that likely possible? I'm 24 athletic flexible etc... Sorry I'm rambling. Good luck fellow 21st sleeves!!

I been on all Clear Liquids today. broth Water Popsicles Jello. No bowel prep. Im just ready to be sleeved now. Been with the family for Easter. So much food! Its been rough! On my way home now. Didnt pack much. Everyone says you wont need much

He was great.................. My scare looks like a little zit.......... Lol............... Plus we worked with me... I had to pay some part of the surgery so he allowed me to leave after 23 hrs so I wouldn't be charged more......... Their hole group was great........... He even gave me his personal cell number if I had questions after my surgery

I agree! You summed up everything!! Thank You MsMartin!!!

April 28th for me. Wish all of u the best. I do read a lot of these threads and feel even though we r all over the country, we all share a common bond that can express what others don't understand. 5'7" 260 lbs. we'll wishes for all!

Excited for all of you awaiting surgery this coming week! Keep on your pre-op diet this weekend! It is super tough to do, but remember the reason you are doing it. Monday morning will be here before you know it!

Just got my call too I have to be there at 7 am. It's Time!!!

Everyone will do great!!
One thing I want to remind everyone is how different each experience will be. Do not compare yourself to others. Some of you have long pre-op diets some don't. Some have catheters some don't. Some have tubes and drains, some don't. Some see surgeons 1 week post op some wait 3 weeks. Some get pain medicine some don't. We can't control how out surgeons do things. Don't waste your energy trying to figure it out.

I actually have not gotten scared yet. It will probably hit Sunday night. I guess I have been trying to stay on track with this pre op and getting my boys ready for easter.

You are fine. We all are going thru this journey together. The pre op meeting I went to I was the only sleever in the group of 10

I am experiencing all of what you all are saying. I feel so bad to be so upset when my 1yr old cries. Hubby stays clear. Lol. But he is a sweetie. He is doing liquids with me so I wouldn't be alone. Today's is my 1yr birthday. I'm taking cupcakes to his daycare. That will be torture. I'm going armed with Water and a shake. I'm just thinking 4 more days!!!

gixxergirl dont feel bad just get back on it. This pre op is not easy. My sons bday was yesterday and it was so hard not to have cake. I did like some icing on my hands. I did hear about that dumping so I get how you feel. We are almost there!!!

Hi all,
Just a brief update. Had my surgery two weeks ago today. Got on the scale and am down 16 lbs since surgery and am feeling good. I will start the puréed diet today and I am looking forward to leaving the clear liquid stage behind. My one incision is still very sore and where the drain was is still draining just a small amount but other than being tired I am doing well. I hope the tiredness leaves as I am able to take in more Protein.
I wish those with upcoming surgery a safe and complicated surgery and those in post op phase a speedy recovery. This website has been a wealth of knowledge and a great support.
