I have had multiple surgeries in life. Left knee, right shoulder twice, left bicept,tonsils and a vasectomy...lol...The surgery itself is nothing. Your lying there on the table, get drousey and then wake up in recovery. You usually dont remember anything you said or were told right before you pass out. The recovery part is different for everyone. most of my surgeries I woke up fine, one I vomited all night from the anesthesia. One surgery I woke up in pain till they hit me with the pain meds, most of them I woke up not in pain...Its normal to fear the unknown.

Youll do fine. And remember, the surgery is the easy part...

Thank you so much. I was discharged already and now I'm at home trying to rest. I'm in the worst pain of my life. The gas that's in my stomach is shooting up to my shoulders and they also had to repair a hiatal hernia. I will be rooting for you next Tuesday. Thank you for your encouraging words, I truly appreciate it.

Praying for a safe surgery and speedy recovery for you! My surgery is Tuesday so I have shared in your nervousness but I have learned to 1) trust God is with me 2) I've been trying different deep breathing techniques to reduce anxiety and stress 3) every time a negative thought comes to mind I just speak something positive! You will do great! Please keep us updated

Best decision I've made in my life.
I'm down 75 kg (165 lb) in around 11 months and working for the last 17 kg to reach my goal weight.
A small advice to all weight stuck sleevers, GYM GYM GYM !

SW: 176.6 kg (389 lbs)
CW: 102 kg (224 lbs)
GW: 85 kg (187 lbs)

I'm 2/14. And beyond nervous I'm so close only to now start thinking if I'm doing the right thing! I'm not worried about the pain it's the anesthesia part I don't like I never had major surgery before

It was my first surgery as well and now that I have had it, I feel like it is a gift from god. I fell asleep, a few hours later (which felt like minutes to me), I wake up and it's all done. Medical technology is amazing!!

I am doing mine over the phone! I had to sign up online and set up a date for the phone interview for Friday 11am. I'm nervous like crazy. I really don't have the best support system but I do have many people in life cheering me on. Not sure what type of support other than them being there for me cheering me on I will need.

Try Premier Protein shakes (I purchased at Walmart or publix) They Are Better To Me Than The powder Protein.

This is what my Doctor recommended as well. Theres 30 grams of protein in one small box. They sell them in 4 packs at walmart for 6 dollars. I believe they are even cheaper at Sams club ans you get 12 or 18 of them. Misty
