Hope you are doing fine now post-op.

Hey there !!! I did it ! I got sleeved and fixed my hiatal hernia ! I moved a couple of hours ago from intensive care, i am sitting on a sofa right now sipping tea & Water, one little spoon ecery 5 minutes, i have little pain in the chest and allready went for a walk !! I am feeling good and not hungry, altrough 2 days ago i was like crazy hungry with a big pain on my head

It might help to actually write down WHY you're doing this. Examples: I want to live longer, I want to shop in the "regular" section at clothing stores, etc. Write down as many reasons as you can - I'll bet it's a bunch! Your reasons should outweigh (no pun intended) your fears.

) you are right! I want to tie my shoe without problems, i want to go shopping and buy what i like, i want to be healthy, i want to be skinny ! And there are a thousand more reasons to do this and i know i have to do a fight my brain and the old habbits. It is hard but not immposible, i know that ! Hopefully i will do fine, i just have to get pass this weeks and think about the reasons i am doing it !!

Thank you guys !!! I really apreciate all that you are writing down for me ! God bless you ! Have a fast recovery for u all

Hang in there, you will be fine. I didn't have the second thought pre-op but I did have thoughts like what did I do to myself a few days post-op! I even told my shrink about my thoughts about I have made a bad decision, he just said, I was on the anesthesia and it'd pass, It will change my life in the better way. But after only 6 days post-op, I felt A LOT better, The result started to show quite quickly. Now I'm 10 days post-op and I am certain now that I've made the right decision. Bon courage! I wish you a succesful surgery.

. It is nice to see other people care and it makes me feel more confortable knowing that i am not the only one going through this )

It is a different aproach, it s not that bad with the laxatives, it is not painfull at all . This is to get rid of the pre op liquid diet and all the stress . Thanks for the nice words ! I will read them again and again.....

I have surgery tomorrow and feeling down, i am on liquid diet today and had 10 laxatives. I cant stop thinking about food and i am having second thoughts about doing it or not. Any advice for me ? Have you experienced this right before surgery ?

I am sure that in a couple of months we will write nice encouraging words for others who will be in the situation that we are now

Hello there, i am a newbie around here. I have my surgery on the 18 july.... pretty scarred about it

I am so afraid of this surgery. The number one fear is dying and leaving my 7 year old behind. I guess that is exactly why I am so scared. My doctor seems to think I am a good candidate and have no other issues other than my weight. I want the surgery but wish I wasn't losing sleep over it. Any words of advice or encouragement would be appreciated.

Hey there ... i have surgery also in 10 days, same emotions for me ( i try to encourage u ...but i am more scarred than u are ))... over all think about logically that you are trying to do sokething about it. Think that is more dangerous to stay like this... i also have 2 kids and i want to be there for them
