Thanks kathy I am a dudette! Also thanks for no lecture.. it was zero nicotine but found out later the fine print said it had 0.7 nicotine but right I only had a few puffs Thanks for the insight!

Im june 11 looking forward to enduring this wild crazy ride with you and everyone else!!!!!!

I dont have family support going into the sleeve. I am a revision. My mom thinks its going to bomb like the lapband. I feel sad shes not on my side. I wish I didnt desire her approval. Im doing this for me. My siblings dont support me either. Feeling sad

Thank you... that hit the spot :-)

Janelle, Thanks for the updates! You've made a scary situation into something that seems bite-sized. Thank you.. I feel better by getting the play by play.

Liza My surgery is June 11 also!We can be buddies! :-)

Would love to be buddies date is june 11... looking forward to sharing journeys with everyone!

Very anxious about what could go wrong... did anyone have complications? Changed my surgery date maybe the fear of it is creeping in.. I know complications can happen im just so nervous...

Was anyone or is anyone concerned with the permanence of the surgery? My date is June 11. Im pretty ok with it but still weary of losing half my stomach... how does everyone else feel? I think my therapist said I had to mourn that loss. Thanks

Good luck!!!!

News flash :I negotiated with my mom I moved my surgery date and mom said I could stay with her. Thanks for all the well wishes

I had posted about this before. I am having my surgery on may 28. I live in community living for mental health and they said they cant be responsible for me physically after the surgery. So I have to stay somewhere else for a week My mom supported me at first now she is totally against the surgery. She had a commitment after I told her when my surgery was. She literally wont change the date. She is digging her heels in. I think she is scared for me to have the surgery and wont budge. I cannot have this surgery unless I have somewhere to go after. 2 of my friends offered up their places to me. One lives in a room and I would be sharing a bed with her and she is paranoid she has bedbugs(I dont think she has them) The other situation my friend is disabled and requires the help of an aide. Id be sleeping on a air mattress. I really dont want to put her out Does anyone know if I would qualify for rehab services for a week?(nursing care) this is my last resort I know I wont need any help everyone is just covering their ass not to be liable Please if anyone can help id be grateful. Im in a serious predicament. Any other suggestions? Thanks If you pray I would appreciate prayers. Thanks again I got cleared by everyone I feel like I have noone to advocate for me. My therapist is on vacation Thanks again

Skinnyana I will be sharing the bench with you! Mine is the 28th too!!!!

Thank you for responses

Did anyone not have family support but had surgery anyway? Mom and I do this weird dance where she provides stuff for me(I am disabled) but if I go ahead w surgery I would be afraid she would be spiteful and relinquish her help. And my sister says she's not supporting my decision because she loves me. Hhmph.
