Very excited for my surgery on Thursday! Received some bad news today ..... My work fired me because I choose to have this surgery and will be off work. Sad thing is I worked at this place for 13 years! I will be a better and healthier person after this surgery so it's their loss! Screw them!

wow.. sorry you got fired but so excited you are focusing on you and changing your life for the better.. good luck!!

Congrads for your surgery!!!! I was sleeved two weeks ago. It was not bad at all. If you get nauseated have the nurse to bring you some alcohol wipes and fan them in front of your nose. Crunch and suck on ice chips. This will help you get through the first 24 hours. The third day you will be tired. Just rest. Remember to sip, sip and walk around. Each day you will get to feeling better. I had some ups and downs with my energy....just listen to your body and go lay down and take a 15 minute power nap. It is amazing how you brain and stomach will not be on the same page! I just love the new me. I am down 18 pounds in 18 days. It was the best thing that I could have done for myself and I trust it will be the best thing you could do for your self. I still have a long way to go, but I am optomistic about my near future!
