It's been over 20 years, since I've seen this weight!
Thank you so much for your message , it hit home with me , I am 59 and really my issues where my knees and feet . I have two sweet grandchildren and a wonderful husband . I just was reading about all the folks that are anxious , seeing therapist , nut's, measuring counting , over thinking a lot . I just told my husband is there something wrong with me ? I'm just one day at a time , using common sense on what I eat and do . I am today 5 days out , feeling good and excited . Your message made me feel good and I can't wait until I and 50 or so pounds down . #onedayatatime #dontoverthink

Surgery over and doing great !
Not sure , but my dr checks before surgery is over and the morning before you go home , that is when u stand in front of a screen drink while they watch , two sips was it but was horrible . That is my only complaint

Surgery over and doing great !
No gas pains at all , vomited only once in the hospital after I had to drink that awful stuff to see if I had any leakage , it came right back up nasty . Other than that it's been fine . I could not be more happy with the outcome and how I feel .

Home from the hospital , doing ok , eating a Popsicle right now , a little sore but glad to have it in my past . The anthesia dr just tore my throat up , told him what size tube I needed from surgeries , he decided that he was going bigger , my throat is horrible as is my neck , but this will pass .

Desperate for a Buddy (10/22)
I'm getting sleeved on 10/22 also , excited , scared but so ready to get this done and move on . We will be fine , what am I taking to the hospital , we'll still trying to decide , prob 2 pairs of Pj's , slippers , and that's as far as I have gotten . Still struggling on the 2 weeks diet of no food , only protein shakes . One of the hardest things I have ever done . We will do this and be fine . Stay in touch my surgery is a 7:30 am , glad it's not late in the day .....
