They give you good anesthesia to put scope down throat.I'm having mine next week.

My life is an open book. I have told work, friends and family and have received nothing but support. I plan on using all of them post op as a huge support system. I feel very lucky.

Welcome. There is a lot of great stuff on this forum.

Good luck!

Best of luck!

Had first NUT last week. Next week is psych.Very excited. I am 5'10"and 308. Hoping I am actively losing as I type. We are on this journey together.

I think we all have to be careful if the naysayers. Somewhere in a tiny place in our brain is a negative thought and these people can pull the trigger on it. They only mean well, but I am learning to stop listening. (Very hard)

I second all of the above. I went to seminar sure of Roux-ny. Reflux and chance to lose the most weight. Didn't have it yet but still feel that I made the right decision.

@@toasty welcome to the "it's normal to be crazy club". Lol I will be excited to hear of your experiences post op. Well, excited and nervous and happy and scared.......????

@@Cervidae Thanks. Nice to know my crazy is normal crazy. Lol

I just had first surgery appointment last week and I am, like, excited, scared, ooo, back to excited, anxious, blah blah blah. Feel like I am literally feeling 12 different feelings an hour.

Congratulations!

Thanks Nikikins...this is a great forum for support and comradery.

I heck first surgeon appt.Sept 2. Didn't start the process yet..so anxious to get srarted!

I have first surgeon appointment September 2. Very excited to start process. I am sure I want Roux en Y. I am 5'10" and weigh 300lbs. I need to lose 130 -150 lbs. I just can't wait to get the ball rolling. This is a great platform for posting the good, the bad and the ugly. It makes us understand that, while we are starting on a great journey, there will be a few bumps in the road. And that's ok. Love reading the posts.

My husband and I had 2 exit seats on plane for more leg room. Neither of us could get are arses in the seat. Steward had 2 go out and find us seats (not together), a cute little dance troupe sat next to me, AND I had to ask for a seat belt extender. Talk about a double vodka moment (jk, lol). Yes, I need this surgery.

Yay You!!! Congrats!

Good luck to you. "Not anxious I got this" (a much better name for you) our new life starts NOW!! $!

Welcome. I go to my seminar Monday and already received oodles of support and great advice and info.

Ok, me too. Let's say evil, wicked sexy. Lol

This is going to be wild, crazy, fun and scary. Can't wait. I am hoping to meet my peeps Monday.

Sounds very exciting. And encouraging. I can't wait to start!

Sajijoma...we will get along well.I am "unique"and I love it, but will the psychiatrist love it? Lol ????

When we are done we are going to be healthy, skinny and darn sexy! (Notice I put healthy first, lol)

Good luck. My prayers are with you. And I am also jealous. Lol
