Hey Guys! I have finally committed to getting the sleeve this Tuesday. My doctor told me he could do it on that day, but I'm been trying to see if I could make up my mind to do it. But I AM going to do it! Not sure what time. I think in the morning.

I'm a little bit nervous because I have not did any kind of pre-op diet. My doctor told me not too worry about it because I'm not extremely overweight... I have over 100 lbs. to lose, to me that's alot...

What do you guys think?

I wonder what time I will have to stop eating or drinking tomorrow?

Maybe some of you that have just had your surgery around the same time we can keep more in touch and see how we are doing?

I love having found this site and having people that can help me along the way!

Also I enjoy reading about you guys that have already been where we've been and we can learn from your experiences.

Charity that is wonderful news. Put yourself in God's hands and know that this is His will for you in your life - it all came together so easy it has to be. You shoudl stop eating/drinking 12 hours before your surgery -- you can take any necessary medication in the morning with only enough Water to get them down.

You'll do GREAT - keep us posted - we'll be watching to hear from you!

YAY YAY so very excited for you. You'll do great, and I can't wait to hear about your progress.

Wooooooo HOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Glad you got your date... and FAST TOOOOO!! Keep us posted!! Things will be fine.....You'll be happy with your choice!!

Congrats on your decision. You will be fine. I had my surgery 12 days ago. I already feel better than I have in years. You are gonna love your sleeve.

Congratulations on making the decision and getting a date so soon. You will do wonderfully. Please keep us posted on how you are doing.

Congrats!!

You must be so excited. Don't forget to put your surgery on the calendar, and check out the Oct. sleeve group for the others also having surgery this month.

It is wonderful that you can have it done so quickly, and soon you will be one of the "losers"!!

Take care and let us know how you are getting along.

I say the same as everyone else! Good luck for Tuesday and see you on the losing side xxx

You go girl ! I'm so happy for you! You are going to look so great! Keep us all informed my friend! May God be with you and I'll pray and think about you tomorrow!!!

Hey Guys! Thank you for all your replies! I've got a time for my surgery! Now it's official! No backing out... I'm scheduled for 10am. Need to be at the hospital at 9am. Thank you for all your prayers! I will be back home on Thursday and I'll post an update!

God Bless!

I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers ! ! !

Thank you guys for your prayers! I went into surgery on Tuesday and came home yesterday afternoon. I'm on my way to recovery. I can't say that I haven't wondered if I did the right thing since the surgery, but I guess that's normal.

This is day 4 and I'm not feeling too bad. The worse thing is I have the drainage bag and tube hanging out of my stomach! Yuck! I don't get it out until tuesday. I think I'll feel better after then.

Thanks for all your prayers!

I just weighed and I have lost 10lbs. since I was weighed going into the hospital on Tuesday for surgery... Wow!

Yes, I think that is a very normal thought - at least I know I went through those thoughts.

Each day gets better and better - walk, walk, walk and sip, sip, sip!

Hello,

I have read this entire thread on your story and I am here to tell you that now you are one of the ones helping others for sure. I have not had my surgery yet, I hope it will be soon. As soon as they get my Psych. Eval typed up and sent to the Bariatric Center then it will be turned in to insurance to see if I get approved. I am getting closer and closer. Everytime I read a story such as yours, I am always encouraged to hang in there. I had a total knee replacement 1 1/2 years ago, so I didn't want to have surgery again, but here I am hoping to have VSG surgery soon. To hear that you have already lost 10 pounds and you are already home gives me more hope and faith that I am doing the right thing. I keep coming on here to get help and each time I always find someone's comments that lift me up whenever I need it. One of these days soon my experience of having the surgery will help others just like your story and other's have helped me. I hope and pray for the best for you and everyone else on your journey!!
