I have surgery in the morning. Wow, I had my mom take some before pics (I will post when I'm comfortable, I promise!) I cried looking at them. Not looking for sympathy and I'm sure everyone here can empathize, but I'm so ashamed of what I've done to my body. I had pics taken with clothes on and clothes off. I did not realize that I had gotten so heavy. I'm glad I took the pics tonight because I was so nervous about tomorrow but seeing these photos I know I'm more afraid to continue on the way I have.

Wishing you the best tomorrow. Im sure you'll do great. Congrats on your decision to better your health.

Thanks!!

Good luck from tomorrow on. I hope all good things for you . Please keep us posted on how everything went

I did the same thing, Girl! Only difference is, I set my camera up to take the pics on auto....wasn't letting anybody seeing me! LOL. I'm planning on taking monthly pics in the same bike shorts and sports bra so I can see the difference.

We are gonna rock this sleeve, Girl!

Luck, Hugs and God Bless!

24 hours out! Feeling better than i did yesterday. I have only tried water and ice chips so far and they make me feel extremely full, so im scared to try more. Gas pain was what everyone said it was horrible. But walking and gas x strips seem to be doing the trick. Just waiting in the doc to come see me and I should go home today. My doc doesn't do any external kind of leak test. Is that normal?

I am still preop but the doctor I have said they do the leak test while I am still under anesthesia so they can fix it if necessary

I'm two weeks out and I didn't have a leak test. Congrats to you. The first week was the hardest this second I started feeling normal again.

Congrats to you! I am still pre op but my surgeon said they will do a leak test, think while I'm still under..perhaps they did that for you. Blessings and much luck to you on your journey!
