Hello Everyone!!!! I am new here like others been looking on here before officially joining! I am getting sleeeved May 27th I started my Pre-op liquid diet on May 13th which has not been easy As my date gets closer i am getting more nervous and scared I am 26 years old i have two amazing children my son 7 years old and my daughter 4 years old! I have only had one surgery before and a c-section with my son. After my children my highest weight was 288, now with pre-op diet and all i am at 248 i am 5'7 not sure what im supposed to weigh exactly? Even as a teen the lowest i weighed was around 150. I have been having back issues the last two years, i have degenerative disc disaese and a small tear in my disc, also some heart palps and rapid heartbeats i think pac,pvc? So i hope with this these things improve Has anyone delt with any of these issues pre and post op? Any one elese getting sleeved May 27th? Any support,advice,help will be greatly appreciated

Welcome and congratulations on getting sleeved on the 27th. I haven't been sleeved yet, but based on what others have posted, yes, the surgery will help with many of your health concerns. I think it's perfectly natural to be getting more nervous and scared. Afterall, this is a major surgery. However, keep in mind the reasons you are doing this and that will help. Feel free to ask questions here too. I have no doubt that you will come though it just fine.

nancy why do you have to have an egd ?

if you don't mind me asking why did you have to schedule and EGD?

Because I have the occasional acid reflux and the doctor just wants to make sure that everything is healthy before the surgery.

Thank you Nancy!!!

Welcome!!! I pray that all will go well for you on this journey.

27th here too!!! I think we already met on another post Hollie but i'm getting excited (and a bit nervous). I had the two week pre-op diet and about an hour from now I will be on Clear liquids until midnight and then of course, black out! Need to be at the hospital by 6:30am for surgery prep and not sure what exact time my surgery is yet.

Good luck tomorrow, i'll be thinking about you and now 1twomany! We can do it!
