Good luck.

I had my 1st ever procedure 13 days ago.

Looking back now I wonder why I was ever nervous.

This has been the best choice I have ever made.

I cant believe I kept putting it off and off.

I had mine done i Saudi Arabia so some small language barriers but nothing to complain about.

You have got this. The rest of your life is now in front of you.

Just to let you know, I was 137kg before the procedure and now at 125kg.

I've started to wear clothes that I haven't had on for 7 years.

Stay positive and good luck for tomorrow again.

Thanks.

Im scheduled for the 30th, having mixed feelings right now, i have a month of full liquid diet post-op which i’m not looking forward to. Anyone else on the 30th ?
And a question for those who got sleeved recently does the liquid diet become easier post-op ?

I’ve also got to have a month of liquids post op.

All packed and ready for surgery tomorrow. Really anxious and nervous. I’ve had a lot of surgery but this is the first truly elective procedure I’ve ever had.

I’m also preop (surgery on 28th Sept) and have followed this thread with interest.

I have bipolar and anxiety disorder- both of which are well controlled with meds.

To have (hopefully) the least impact on my med absorption my surgeon suggested a sleeve instead of a bypass. I really don’t want my bipolar exacerbated by having this surgery.

I’m interested in the responses you get for your question also. I have bipolar and take extended release meds for that. I’m having a sleeve done in Sept. I’m hoping that I don’t have too many issues with malabsorption.

Sept 28th is when I’m getting sleeved.

Hi! I’m a newbie here. My gastric sleeve is happening on Sept 28th. I’m in Australia and I’m equal parts nervous and excited.

Wishing everyone a smooth pre-op run.
