Thank you Sarah, Count me in as well.

Best of luck to you!!! You will love coming out on the other side. I'm 12 days post op and couldn't be happier!

Hi Ladies, I'm getting sleeved tomorrow morning too! Nerves are starting to come out. I'm just worried about drinking Water day 2. I'm gonna walk walk walk to get rid of the gas. For me, it's all the what ifs afterwards that's making me nervous as well. One day at a time.....that's what I keep saying to myself.... Hope all goes well for you all tomorrow! Cheers!

I think some of the push back stems from uncharted territory. It's ok, we will prevail. Best of luck to all of you in your upcoming surgeries.

My advice to you is to look within your self for the answer. You've went through all the testing, gotten to the point for approval, and now a few short weeks until you begin your new journey. How many times in the past have you already tried "something different" and failed. I too had push back. Someone last week asked me, why don't I just eat less & workout more? Seems simple enough, though that "plan" hasn't worked long term for me in the past. With the question "What if something goes wrong?", did you reply...."what if everything goes right?" People who are unfamiliar with something, can come across as pessimistic and look for every reason why something can go wrong. My advice is to ignore the negative feedback, and look for the positives. My surgery is in 4 days, and I couldn't be more excited!!! It's been a journey to get here, and nothing will stop me now. Best of lick to you, you can do this!

Good luck to you as well. See you on the flip side in a few day.

Good Luck!

My surgery is scheduled for Monday (3/14), and I'm super excited. I'm not nervous (yet), but am really looking forward to starting the rest of my life as a normal weight person. I've always been the bigger if not biggest friend of the group, I've always been the one to stay in the shadows and not want the spotlight, but I'm ready for that to change and just be normal and blend in. I have a little over a hundred pounds to lose. I've had some push back from a few close friends and family members I've told. Looking back now, perhaps I should have kept it to myself. My view is, in the months ahead they will come around and see that this was a "good -safe- choice for me". I don't need others acceptance, but was more looking for them to be on the same team...rooting me on, supporting my decision. I've read thru some of the posts on here where others have had the same thing happen, and it's actually helped me set in stone that I am making the right choice. This is about me,and what will finally help me get the body & life I want. I'm prepared for this and I can't wait!!!
