so glad to hear your doing well. I Go in tomorrow im getting so scared. Keep us updated

thank you im trying to keep my focus.good luck to u

I am also on Wednesday and I have been freaking out all day in my mind.so I have been trying to stay busy and tonight my husband broke down and said he doesn't want me to do it. He is really scared something is going to go wrong. I am trying to be strong and keep my mind straight but all the what ifs are taking over. I hope I can go through with this. It broke my heart to see him so upset over it.

is it swollen

thank you. I think I am more worried about things getting stuck going down or what its going to feel like when it hits my sleeve. You know just all the unknowns.

luv this thank you

That has probably been her problem all this time and they should have found this sooner instead of worrying about a psychiatrist. My sister had a big kidney stone a few months ago that was too big to pass and they waited so long to try to take it out she developed high blood pressure her kidney function dropped real low and she also had a ecoli infection. She had to do home IV therapy for her antibiotics. Usually the resistant infections are treated through IV. Hope they get that stone out soon so she can finally recover. You guys are in my prayers.keep pushin those doctors to get that stone out.

thank you I just have to make it till Wednesday then there is no turning back

are you going to west la. Who is your surgeon. I am scheduled may 6 in west la.I have all the same fears .I did my preop yesterday and last night all i could think about is what am i about to do to myself.I feel like such a failure that I even have to do this. Good luck to you. Only happy thoughts from here allowed your going to do great soon you will be done already. Keep us updated

great! Love to keep in touch in in los Angeles, I just began I had the initial information seminar today and tomorrow I have the body analysis then Monday begins the Options program. Doesn't seem that long I'm motivated! I'll keep ya updated on my progress Nice to have someone in the same area. The 12 weeks goes by really fast and you can usually get scheduled soon after.I was scheduled last year and chickened out and cancelled now I am scheduled again for may 6 It's so close. I had my preop yesterday so everything is good to go. Good luck with your classes

Omg I can't believe everything she is going through. These doctors always blame it on the patient when it doesn't go textbook. They always act like they have never seen anything before just because their tests come back normal they assume nothing is wrong. Dont let them give up on her just because her tests are coming back normal obviously something is wrong. My doctor tried doing that with my other surgery I had surgery on my gallbladder and all the pain was in my left side.They kept saying nothing was wrong but I was fine before they touched me. Anyways i am scheduled 1week from today but I can't help but think about your daughter and what she is going through. It is scary..I will continue to pray for her hopefully they can take the stone soon and maybe she will get better after that.

Glad to hear you are doing good.I had my preop today n did all my labs so 1 week from today I will be going. I am getting real nervous and second guessing already on what im about to do to myself. I know I just have to block it out. So does it hurt when you drink or it just feels weird.

@@Mel24 how are you doing today

@@Mel24 good luck to you. I will be thinking of you tomorrow and praying for you. Let us know how it goes.

Had to have my gallbladder out and had a little bit of a rough recovery and it was supposed to be easy. They overmedicated me in recovery and had a hard time waking up was there for 10 hrs. I was supposed to do sleeve surgery 2 mths later but i was still recovering from my other surgery and I kept telling myself why am I going to willingly do that to myself again lol.So I told myself I could do it on my own but obviously here I am d o I cant .I am really trying not to think of the post op because then I start freaking myself out. Also I am worried about how is it going to feel to try to eat and drink and what if I can't get anything down.I know it sounds crazy but I read the complications posts so I know what can happen and I know that I really should stay off of them. I have my preop on Wednesday so I am hoping it puts my mind at ease a little.

@@SimplySharon I also was scheduled last year but chickened out here I am a year later scheduled again Im worried but determined to do it this time.

Why couldn't they do lithotripsy to break up the stone so that it will pass

Hetera we share a birthday!

@@Hetera im scheduled may 6 and I am feeling exactly the same. I was originally scheduled last year in April but ended up getting gallbladder out first had some issues so i cancelled my sleeve. Here I am a year later just now realizing that I cannot do this on my own as much as I would love to. I am also feeling so disappointed in myself that I can't do it on my own. As much as I want to cancel again because I am so nervous I know I can't. Work notes already turned in everything is done so I just need to mentally get ready for this .We can do this and we are going to be just fine. Good luck to you

Thank you both so much this helps me alot .I know I need to do this I already talked myself out of it last year and now I am 2 weeks away excited but scared at the same time.

I am scheduled for surgery in 2 weeks and the nerves and anxiety are really kicking in. I have had panic attacks for a long time now.I am curious if anyone who also suffers with them has already been sleeved and did it make your attacks worse or has everything worked itself out.

I am sorry your daughter is going through so much. I have had multiple kidney stones and they told me the same thing i can tell you it Always hurts me when its in the kidney. I also worried about this my surgery is may 6 I am hoping I don't have this problem.

Hello everyone I am scheduled may 6 I am so nervous.I know I need to do this but as it gets closer my mind is going 100 mph

I am kaiser southern California west la we only had 12 weeks of classes n psych eval and wait for the consult with the surgeon. Whole process was pretty fast i have my date already.
