Oh where do I start. Like so many before me, I am extremely excited, nervous, and SCARED. It really hit me last night as I was reading a bedtime story to my wonderful sweet 3 yr old. I choked down the remainder of his story and kissed him goodnight. I finished up some last minute chores and got into the shower where I completely lost it, sobbing and everything. I couldn't imagine the "what if something went wrong". I felt like I was being so selfish. I don't have any co-morbidities YET. Why was I taking this risk??? I reminded myself I am making this change for him. I prayed and prayed and made my peace with God. I know He is in control.

So, here we are today. I leave for the hospital in 3 and half hours. I appreciate all of your prayers and will post as soon as I can.

Good Luck to all of the other May 9th sleevers out there (aka The Red Velvet Gang).

GOOD LUCK TO US!!!

I to am being sleeved today at 11:30! YAY

However, I do not feel nervous at all! Maybe because I do not have children??? I don't know, but I feel like any other day. I have not felt scared in the least. I think it is because I have prepared myself for every possible scenaio.

I have read this forum for 7months and I am TOTALLY confident in my surgeron and the hospital where I am having my surgery is rated #3 in the nation, so I know I am in good hands! I am not happy about being in pain for days, as I am having a hernia repair too, but I know I will be fine!

Best of luck to us Red Velvet members!!

Kelly :D

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
