Hey everyone, just found this forum. I am 31 years old and live in buffalo ny. Pre surgery I have lost 28lbs but have since stalled out for two weeks which does happen I know. I have my sleeve surgery on monday at 2pm. I am terrified! I am excited about having this done and to start the next chapter in my life but I cannot get over the overwhelming terror that I am not going to wake up on moday. I have had surgery before; my gallbladder, a hysterectomy and before that a tubal ligation and I was only moderatly nervous for those. Is anyone else feeling this way?

Um.....yeeesssssssssssss.

Not the not waking up, but I think any given thing any given moment. I go through moments of sheer terror and total jubilation.

I'm a mess.

And I'm not.

I was really nervous but then I went to talk to the nurse practitionar and she told me the odds of death and I freaked. It's probubly the same for all surgeries but the number scared the crap out of me.

Dr. Aaron Hoffman is my surgeon too! He is removing my Lap Band on August 6th, and then doing a revision to a gastric sleeve on October 1st. He is wonderful!!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
