Malexa, im also on the 12th. Im 28 yrs old, 5'5" and 250 lbs. I have 4 children, ages 8, 2, and 11 month old twins. All girls. They need me. My husband needs me. I want to live a long happy life, be there for my kids, my family. I can't imagine how their lives will be without me if something bad should happen. But, as others have said, you take a risk of dying every time you get in your car and drive! you never know when a drunk driver will hit you, or a tree fall on you and kill you (this actually has happened twice in my town the past few years!)...to me the risk is worth it though. Its a small risk, let's be honest. And the positives far outweigh the negative "what ifs" bc this is my last chance to be healthy and happy with myself. If I don't do the surgery, I will get bigger and bigger...that has WAY MORE negative effects and risks than the surgery!! I am a person of strong faith and I believe if its not my time, God will protect me. Im praying to be surrounded by angels during my travel to mexico and my surgery. That's really all we can do in any situation, in our every day life. Just pray about it (if you believe in God) and hopefully God will bring you a peace about it ;) hope this helps

Mmm dmixon I didn't even think about chinese Soups for the clear liquid phase after surgery. Egg drop Soup and hot n sour soup broths will be divine! And very filling too I'll bet.

I can't believe I'm 3 days away from a new life. I feel like its been forever since I started thus process....about this time last year I decided to do it and now March 6 is creeping up sooooo much faster than I could have imagined!!!! I'm nit scared or nervous...I'm afraid I'm going to start freaking out Tuesday night and I'm going to have no one to freak out to because I can't talk to my parents because they're already nervous so i think they're finding comfort in that I'm not nervous but rather excited! Ugh!!! 3 days please pass fast!!

OMG, it looks like 14 people are getting sleeved tomorrow! Woohoo!!! I am nervous for my 13th date, but it still doesn't feel real. Then I read people's messages, like Jennifer616 who is getting it done on the 6th, and her nervousness makes it feel more real to me...and then I get nervous...and anxious and excited all at the same time. Good luck to everyone who is getting it done this week! My prayers are with you all!

Heya, caspilnelli....

Just breathe. Go on YouTube and look at before and after photos, and read all the positive stories here. I'm scared too, and I think we would all admit we are. :)

Hey you guys, I was sleeved on the 1st it is now two days after and I'm still pretty sore. Just remembering to sip, sip , sip.... or you get sick lol I'm glad its over and it will be a lot better in a couple more days but you will sore. Just remember to get up and walk as soon as you can to help with the gas pain. Its been nice to sip apple juice, and Water but just sip. Your sleeve is so swollen if you drink a lot at a time it will just come back up or cause chest pain remember to take it slow, good luck to all of those sleevers on the 4th and the rest of the month.

Kaleen, you rocked your surgery. I seen you walking and being so supportive to the others that were the same day or the next! You would always give them words of encouragement. Way to go!

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
