HalloweenBaby24

How exciting for you.

HalloweenBaby24 - me too ..... thinking about all things I have to do before or not . In my case , I am HOPING that I do not wake up after surgery and they will tell me they only could remove the band and because of too much damage they have to do the sleeve in a second surgery

That's great!

Fantastic!!! Keep on keeping on!

Outstanding!!!

Woot woot! Congratulations!

Fantastic!! Congratulations!!!

Wow ! Great job !! You've really done well in such a short time !! Any advice for those of us still struggling with the last 20lbs ?

@pink dahlia I've actually been quite the slow loser when it come's to Gastric Sleeve Surgery, But I was also on the lower end of the weight scale (Start weight 255). All I can say is keep going, Keep getting in your water, vitamins, protein, Also exercise...I've been going 3days a week for the past 3 weeks and have only lost 1.5lbs since going but I have seen a huge improvement in my waist, the way thing's fit and most of all my skin!

Rock on!

Congratulations! I cannot wait until I hit onederland! I have 15lbs to go.

@Djmohr You'll get there!

@BeagleLover Thanks!

How goes your journey?

Pretty good. I was sleeved on Sept. 26th and lost 35lbs so far. Seems like there are more stalls than pounds lost sometimes.

@BeagleLover I feel ya on that note. I has mine on the 8th of September and probably have 2 good Stalls a month.

35lbs is good!, I was expecting the weight loss to be a little quicker but I'm not really disappointed either way.

thats what friends are for!!!!!

You have some awesome friends.

That is great. Looks like you have a great support system in place.

14lbs since surgery, I didn't have a liquid diet before.

I was wondering how you were doing! So glad you posted and that things are going well. Keep up the good work , you got this !

Great job!

Congratulations!!! That's awesome progress!

(p.s. I'm a Halloween baby, also - circa 1955)

@MrsSugarbabe Thanks!..Also, It's always awesome to meet another Halloween baby

That's fantastic news!! Congratulations!!!

Heck Yea! Turtles for the Win!

Duh!!! Had a brain burp......LOL!!! Sorry! Trying to focus on too many things at work this morning.

@MrsSugarbabe LOL that' s ok I totally understand that!..I know some people who were born the week of and consider their birthday's Halloween so I'll forgive you

Congratulations ! Keep up the good work !!

Let the countdown begin!! I know the feeling...we got this!

I surely hope so!

I'm a little further out than you are, but I feel the same way too!

I think my feelings have been pretty sporadic since approval last month.

I won't have my file sent to insurance for another month. I really don't know what's come over me. I get so irritable SO quickly!

Dont know why you're feeling numb, i was so ready ! Its made my life 100 % better ! No regrets ! Hope you stop feeling so numb, get yourself ready to be happy and healthy !

I just don't have any real feelings about it right now.

Doesn't seem real yet, plus it's Tuesday and my surgeons office has yet to call me to schedule so maybe they forgot about me.

Yours may differ, but I know that my office won't call with a time until the day before the surgery. I guess that's when they make the final schedules.

I had one a 2 months ago. I have had the huge list of complications..Would I do it again....YUP! All that has gone wrong I stand by my choice. Because I can out run, out work, out walk and out anything my hubby can do.....I am now lean and mean...lol

Feel the exact same way you do. My surgery isn't until 9/15 but my emotions are all over the place. One minute I'm so excited and nervous and the next minute I'm freaking out thinking about the worse that cam happen. I hope I don't back out at the last minute. But good luck to you and I hope your surgery goes well. Please keep us updated

Thanks everyone..

It's good to educate yourself on the good, the bad, and the ugly. It's just scary because my friend is a young mother who had all the same hopes and dreams for this surgery as I do, And now she's living through hellish times. I know this is something that doesn't happen to everyone but still a little uneasy to know it exist.

You should of said " No honey, I took the hard way out ! The only thing EASY is YOU!! ( Oooops ! Did I say that ?)

Oh yeah, you did! Funny!

( " A tiger doesnt lose sleep over the opinion of sheep. " ) Smart healthy you versus dumb , ignorant porn queen............. okay ! you win !!!

Well, thats because you're fabulous. Just sayin '. Congratulations, what a great job you've done ! Keep it up !!!!

Wow! I imagine you're feeling a lot better.

Get it in now if u must! I paid "big time" last night trying to over do it post op! Try to change the habits now if you can though. I am 17 days post op and the hardest thing for me is waiting that 30 minutes after eating to drink something. Anyway, good luck to u!!!

I feel the same way about waiting to drink. I can't clear the spices from my mouth and throat. Oh well, we'll just have to follow the rules one meal at a time.
