I'm getting sleeved tomorrow and I'm a nervous wreck. I keep crying. I don't want to see my extended family beforehand cause I'll break down. But there's no way I'm backing out. I just want to get it over with. Good luck next week!

Good luck I'm sure you'll do great!!

I almost left the hospital on the day of my surgery...... I am so glad I didn't though. It's only been a couple of weeks' date=' but I am happy so far with my results and I know in the long run this will be what's best for me and my family. If I would of kept going the way I was I would of died. I was 475lbs preop and things in life were getting difficult. To go out to eat I had to make sure it was a place that had tables, I couldn't fit in a booth. Going to an amusement park sucked I couldn't fit on any rides and the walking made me very tired. Even movie theaters weren't fun, some seats were to small. In the end you just have to measure all the bad stuff vs all the good stuff that will come and make sure it will be worth the risks.[/quote']

Thanks!! Less than a week to go

Hi Evolving,

Good luck with the surgery today.

I am now a week post surgery. I was kept in hospital an extra 24 hours or so due to problems with my reactions to the drugs but the surgery itsef went well. I am now home 2 days and in no pain and take no drugs or medications. I feel good now-(would have been better without the drug reactions certainly but that is not so common and I dont know of anyone elsse who has had that problem so you should be fine on that count). I am well and truly over the liquid diet but need to keep it up for another week... and then move onto the puree phase...I am really looking forward to returning to normal food albeit in lesser amounts and feeling very positive now.

Hang in there. I really hope you are pleased with the outcome.

Don't be afraid, I had the same thoughts even in the pre op waiting room in my gown. I told my husband lets go! I know the many thoughts that go through your head. You are doing the right thing pray before going pray while there. Think of your new life all the wonderful things you will be able to do, all the pretty clothes you will be able to wear. I'm praying for strength for you.
