Part of my support team told me that one day I would turn around and this would be just "one of those things I did back then" but because I didn't know anyone who had done any weightloss surgery, I was scared. I feared the unknown. She was right. I researched the sleeve surgery and went to the support group at the hospital clinic. It helped SO much to see actual people who had it done. I am three weeks post surgery and I just had to make the jump. I feel good and look forward to learning what my new body is all about. For now, I am just trying to adjust to food again! Good luck to you!

Oh and ps... I was about your height but weighed a little more than you. I know how you feel, everyone kept saying, your not even that big. But with the way I was going, the doctor said I would be in there 10 years from now but probably with diabetes and high blood pressure. And the one thing everyone always said was, they wish they had done it sooner so they could have really started living their life!

Everyone has a different experience. My day of op I was extremely nauseous, sore and fairly out of it. The following day was far better, just a bit of nausea (which subsided when they worked out which med to use). The next day better again :) And I'd do it all over again for the results I'm seeing

How was the pain when u work up and the first few days? Was it very hard??

I barely remember waking up. They gave me and antianxiety drug, which apparently is pretty standard here with surgery. Next thing I know, I was waking up in recovery. It was weird, I don't even remember seeing the operating room or surgeon... They give you lots of pain medicine when you wake up, I was scared. I thought it would hurt but it didn't, I slept a lot the first two days! I would say, the worst part was having to drink the medicine. It tasted bitter. That was about my worst part. I felt like a child not wanting to take it!;)

Hey Tina,

You will find so much support here. Worrying is normal, we just have to focus on the end results. My surgery is Dec.5. and I too am very worried. I just try to think about all the pretty clothes I'll be able to wear. How it will feel to comfortable in my own skin again. Good luck with your surgery I know you will be just fine.

Oh yes, I had three c-sections. I told them I got nauseated very easily. They put a motion sickness patch behind my ear. It worked so good. I took the last one off at home, as soon as I took it off, I got sick! :(

      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
