  1. Well I made it through my 7 day liquid diet. Yeah, for me. I did not cheat once. Although I'm starving. Tomorrow is my big day. I check in at 7am and surgery is at 9am. My surgeon is using an mechanical arm for my procedure. I was worried at first, but my cousin also had the mechanical arm back in Sept and everything went well. He says it allows him to see better. I'm excited but a bit nervous, just because you never know. I lost 8lbs this week while on the liquid diet.  I actually felt a little better but starving.

      I hope your surgery went well and you are feeling good.

  2. Meeting with the nurses and anesthesiologist on the 8th. I need to get blood work done then too. Surgery is scheduled for August 15th @  9:00. I'm excited at this time. and not really nervous yet. It has been long and drawn out fighting with my insurance on coverage. I started this journey February and it is finally going to happen. I just want to be off the medications and my c-pap. I hope the knee and feet pain go away or at least is more tolerable. So thankful for my supportive husband and family.

      Good for you! This is so exciting! Having a supportive spouse and family makes a huge difference. As I'm working through the process to get sleeved, I'm also encouraging my husband who had sleeve surgery in April. He has been off diabetic meds and blood pressure meds since the end of May. He has no cartilage in his knees so they still hurt but he has more energy and generally feels so much better than he did a year ago.

      Wishing you all the best!!
