wagyu

Honeybunz, EXACTLY im not scared about them cutting me but I am extremely scared of the IV cause I had surgery before on something else and the one thing I remember from it was not my ( anesthesia vomiting, or pain in my anywhere...) it was the sharp pain and sound of the dang IV. Going into my veins. So I kind of want to see my options here hahahaha

Just wondering if anyone got their sleeve from meeting the doctor to surgery? With the insurance and pre op requirements?

Hahahs thanks everyone. I will try to see if they can numb it or knock me out before putting it in... If not I'll suck it up... Gulp.

Apologies if this was already mentioned - If so can someone post the link? I'm getting ready for pre op and post op stuff. Wondering what protein drinks are tolerable or not disgusting for me to have. Any preference??

Hahah thanks all. Is it the Same as if they are drawing blood kind of prick? Like I won't feel it again after? I just hate that's urial going through my vein feeling. But It seems like it's a prick and all done. I'm going to breathe hard look away and that's it. Eeek!!

Hi all I know this is dumb but I'm terrified of the IV needle... More so than the actual surgery. I'm more terrified about them putting the IV needle in especially if they put it on the back of your hand area versus the inner elbow(?) can you let me know if this doesn't hurt and or the least of my worries? I get squirmish just thinking about it

thats really odd your sister did the surgery but mixed feelings?

Shustar you are brave! I am such a little girl sometimes I can't even drive myself to a hospital haha - and thanks for the support!! sssflbelle - I have been telling white lies too, there is NO way am I going to tell people I know plenty judge in fact i tried brinigng it up a little as in a "what if I do it" and some of my friends got judgey. Well excuse me, no way am I telling anyone now. haha BLERDgirl, yup I know this is for me, I have to do it been overweight all my life I need something stable. so this is definately for me

I totally agree. i wish my bf was on board too, but ya know you gotta do this yourself. i think i have to go at this alone which is what I am doing. Do you girl, do you! Maybe tell a close friend who won't judge about it? it might take the weight off. (no pun intended haha)

Oh wow that is impressive! To Mexico alone? Congrats on your loss! I can't wait to get there!! Thanks everyone else, this is seriously helping me a lot. So it is actually pretty normal to go at this alone. WOO! Butterfly, thanks for the tips!! I'm definately going to follow the tips. it helps a lot thank you. In general I think I will come here for support and questions because it really really helps thank so much everyone.

Hi there located in NYC! Yourself?

Hi everyone! Need a buddy/mentor/guidance/ anyone! No one but my bf (probably soon to be ex for being SO unsupportive) and one friend. So would really need some guidance over here. Going for all my checkups this week and then going to see if I can get the surgery in August.

Hey there NYC here

Thanks Babbas and Alindsey!! This helps a lot. I didn't know people go to Mexico alone. I'm doing it in town! Thanks a lot- i know it's going to be ok. After that it's going to be worth it.

Hi Lisa! Do this for yourself! I know I am. I have a bf who isnt supportive/not there for me on this and I know he won't be a part of it so it's already proving to be a problem before the surgery I can't imagine after. We will see. But do this for yourself, as am I!!

Hi yeah I am just going to uber/get a car.

Hi everyone, new to this forum. You can call me wagyu (as in i love wagyu beef!) anyways I started my journey will get sleeved sometime next month. Going through all my pre requisites like endoscopy/pulmonary etc... and I am doing it by myself. No one knows and I am so terrified. Well maybe one or two friends know. But no one is going to the doctors appts with me or the surgery, so I am very terrified. Don't know what to do, and feel like I am alone and want to back up because this is such a big thing. I don't know. But! I will go through with it! Would like some support if anyone is going through the same thing, or if not, do you have advice? Thanks a lot!
