Omg....GOD IS SO GOOD I GOT THE CALL TODAY I GOT APPROVED JUNE 18 IS THE BIG DAY.......

I can't believe it's here. I know this is what I need to do but I've never had surgery and I'm scared. I'm starting a new life.

I had my surgery on tues..surgery wa $ delayed til about 10am..thank God everything went well. .surgeon did leak testing will still in surgery. .have in recovery room by 12 noon. .was discharged by 145..I was able to use bathroom and pain was under control, able to eat ice chips and popsicle. .they must of gave me a lot of nausea medicine, cause I have taken any of my nausea medicine yet..do have the patch behind my ear to help with nausea. .will have to remit after 3 days..I have more head hunger than physical hunger. .trying to keep up with my Protein and Water. Taking my Vitamin. Only pain I have to the bloated gas pressure. But I purchased Gas - X. .which really helps. .so far so good. I move to soft food by next Wednesday. .

Hit my 100 lbs gone. Its taken almost 7 months. I feel so much better! Only 38 lbs to meet goal! Dont give up! The hard work is worth it!

I am glad it's over. Day 2 post op. Gas pains were the worst. Didn't vomit at all. Getting liquids in. Now 2 weeks of more liquids.

Healthy and fit...exercise and eat right

I weighed once a month. I always saw losses and wasn't disappointed. So many folks get discouraged when the inevitable stalls occur. I never saw them which helped to keep me motivated.

I weigh myself once a week, mainly because I need to log my weight for the weight loss challenges here. But even if wasn't doing the challenges I would still weigh myself weekly, to see my progress and to make sure I am not going in the wrong direction.

I had surgery on 4/15/14. I don't need pain meds and thus far, no gas pains. Everything went well. I'm so thirsty though. No drink until tomorrow, which is also when I go home. God is Good!

My surgery went well no issues discharged 24hrs later from chandler regional in az. Great group of professionals! I was terrified to have the surgery do not like pain but really was not bad at all. Up walking several times in a few short hours after surgery the more I walked the better I felt. Now on full liquid diet only 8 more days for soft diet EXCITED. I find myself still hungry at times lots of nausea still but over all doing very well:). If you are reconsidering this surgery stop and go for it after 10 days post op 24 pounds are gone. Do it for you and your health do not give up

Almost there! I will be on the other side in the morning! I have to be at the hospital at 7 a.m. to register and start pre op. I will have surgery around 8:30 a.m. tomorrow. I am so excited! I have my wonderful husband at my side and I know he will be praying for me the whole time and he will be a great help with my recovery. I'm so blessed to have him with me! Just finished dropping my babies off at my sister's house for the next three days. I know they will have fun while I am at the hospital. I had two great church services today and was prayed over and feel awesome about my surgery and recovery! Feeling Blessed!

Just added myself to this group to become more familiar with the struggles, challenges, and successes of weight loss surgery. I currently work in this industry and want to become even better at what I do, which requires a ton of research. It's not that I am a stranger to weight loss by any means, I lost 40 lbs after having my son back in 2011. But even that pales in comparison to what some of my clients and friends have struggled with. So I'm here as a supporter of all of you, cheering you on toward the successes you imagine and define for yourselves, and learning in the process. Cheers!

I am so ready for this surgery. I am down 19.2 lbs during pre op. I am so thankful that I found this site. Everyone has been so supportive and informative. Prayers to al you 4-14-14 sleevers!!! We've got this!!! Just remember pain ends and we are starting a New Chapter in our Lives!!! God Bless you all. I am surprised that I am not having any issues with anxiety or nerves. What that tells me is I am right where I belong....

Yes, I heard this story...she had a brain tumor removed and it did something to her that made her hungry and she was over 200 lbs.

That is probably my single biggest motivator. I want to b able to play and have fun with my daughter and be here for her. I wish you a bunch of luck with your journey.

Hello Gettinsmall. I too am new to all of this. I had my psych, med and nutrition eval and will start a 4 class pre/post op nutrition course next week. I also have an endoscopy scheduled for the 25th. After the classes are done then they review and submit to my insurance. I should be able to have surgery in June. I am really scared of the complications too.....very nervous. I am a single mother of an awesome 12yr old boy. Its just the 2 of us. I need and want this to go well. I've missed out on a lot of things with him because of my weight.....used as an excuse to not get too much involved. I don't want to miss out on anymore. He's my motivation. Good luck...I wish us both great success!

I weighed 273 lbs when I got my surgery and now 8 months later I've lost a 100 lbs! I have stuck to the diet have not cheated at all! I don't miss my old self! Life is so much better this way! I have 20 lbs to go! I have admit I have been blessed by the fact I have not hit a plateau! I heard about it but that's about it!
Life is good! High fiving myself! Woot Woot!

I told my husband the same as I'll tell you. I had 85% of my stomach removed. Not my vagina. The vagina bone is not connected to the stomach bone. So relax and do it!!

Don't ever make someone tell you twice they don't want you- Judge Lynn Toler?...the way I see it, this is a new beginning for you all the way around...the drinking needs to stop and pull yourself together before surgery. Start exercising and feeling good about yourself, there are more than one fish in the sea!

I'm having doubts and don't have a surgery date. I was at my daughter's softball game this morning and one of the coaches was asked how much weight he has lost, he had sleeve last year, he answered 115 lbs. I know I need to have the surgery but I'm afraid of complications too.

I'm right there with you Curvy! Monday at 7 am! Best of luck! We can compare notes

Thank u and yes soliciting all prayers everyone willing to send up.

Why are you having WLS? Health reasons only...honestly, I'm doing it mainly because of health and I am looking forward to my big stomach shrinking and getting rid of my double chin, not going to lie! My knees are feeling it and I don't hardly ever buy myself clothes because I don't feel like anything looks good.
