  • Ok everyone, I had my surgery this morning at 11:30 and I feel pretty good right now. There is a little bit of tenderness when I move but other than that no real pain. I think my gallbladder surgery

Mine's March 5th. Nervous and excited all in one. Getting mine done in Buffalo Dr. Caveretta.

I'm tentatively scheduled for March 19th BUT I'm awaiting approval. I sure pray and hope I'm with all of you. :-) I'm a teacher and really want this before Spring Break, so I have time to recover or I'll have to wait until Summer...

It's been 5 days since I sent paperwork to insurance for approval. I'm soooo nervous I won't be approved. I'm hoping to be a march sleever :/

I'm shooting for mid March myself. I'm 5'3 and 228 lbs the charts say my goal should be 115 I'm sure whom ever came up with that chart was a crack smoker, Just Sayin! LOL I have no desire to be 115, I do however see myself at a healthy 150lb, oddly enough I seem to be scared of actually losing the weight, I mean how weird is that, am I so attach to these roles and this ba dunka a dunk, that I will mourn it? Good Grief! I am thinking of maybe holding a bad a** wake for the stomach their removing and the fat that will start to go away, and maybe a new birthday party for the healthier me :)

Comment on who I shared with, I decided to send an email to my circle, with links to be able to help them understand what I am doing, sadly enough my best friend is not on board at all, which makes my heart ache since I feel like I want to share my journey, Oh! well she feels what she feels I suppose. My biggest support is my daughter, who a year ago was sleeved, when she told me I was one of the mis-informed judgmental people she ran up against. Her whole life has changed in so many areas, not just how she feels physically. And OMG she looks fabulous. http://www.facebook.com/groups/216807098391019/?fref=ts here is her facebook link she made for her VSG journey if you would like to take a look. Ok enough rambling, We have each other here, I'v cried & laughed and been scared S***less since being on this site, I also have found strength and compassion. So my sistas and brothers, Ready, Set, Go!!!! WEEEEE!!!! (I say that a lot because I like it LOL )

I am scheduled for 3/19. Can't wait. Will do 7 days liquid pre-op. will be spending 2 nights in the hospital. Taking 2 weeks off work after surgery. I don't do heavy lifting but want the time to get on a good track, plus I have a ton of paid time off.

Leonafire, I'm with you on the charts. My wife is 5'3" also, and when we first started dating she weighed 135, and was smokin' hot! I saw pictures of her at 120-125 from before we started dating, and she looked like a skeleton. For myself, I've seen charts that say I should be 170 at 6'1". I think around 190 is the perfect weight for me, from past experience. It seemed like all of my health issues kicked in at around 220 (high BP, GERD), so if I could get below 200 and off medication I'll be extremely happy.
