I am getting sleeved in Raleigh too. Who is your surgeon?

Oh lawd! That doesn't make me feel good.

It honestly is just one of those fluke things that can happen! They gave me the blood thinners in my belly like they were supposed and still... My poor Dr feels so bad though even though its not his fault and I swear I am being treated like a queen in here!

Im just walking and walking and walking. They wont give me anything for it. I threw up once mire but found out it was my asthma meds! It was ooening my lyngs up which in turn made me cough up/ swallow mucus which irritated my new stomach.... i might have to stay 1 more day.. im thursty though.. i hooked up my heating pad and hit the morphine and passed out!!!! Best sleep ive had since being here. The nurses let me sleep for a while. They are really accommodating. Bout to go on last walk before sleep time. 3 laps here i come!!!!

Same practice but I have Dr. Bruce. I have my results appointment Wednesday! Nervous.

I get sleeved tomorrow. Yesterday I went skiing with my grand kids, it was such an awesome day. It helped me remember why I want this, while many say ”nothing tastes as good as thin feels ", for me it's "as good as healthy feels" my family is very active and my weight hasn't stopped me yet from participating, but I see that it will in the near future. I want to do half marathons with my grand kids, I want to ski with them, I want to never have to be in the situation where I'm to heavy to participate. With this surgery I'm giving myself a tool in which to accomplish that. So when you see someone eating French fries, or ice cream, whatever your "food" is, remember what your reason for doing this was and I'll bet nothing tastes as good as your reason is. Good luck to everyone!

Had my surgery last thur every day is better the gas is the worst although I feel crappy im happy I did this

You will be fine. Let me know what your date is!

Today's the day. I'm getting ready to get on the flight. Then sometime this afternoon I'll go in!!!! Excited and calm. That calm part may not last once I get close but for now I am so grateful for it. Please send good vibes!!!
