Hello my friends. It's been a while I'm following this great forum though I didn't have the courage to show up until yesterday. I'm so touched by all the kindness and support of the members, the generosity of all of u is so inspiring: taking the time to replying and pushing forward and advising...that's a lot to which I 'm so grateful... I'm scheduled to April 3rd. Scared. Hesitating. Dreaming. I'll rely on u to keep me down to earth. Thank u for being here. U're my big circle of friends.

Ps: I hope my English isn't awkward as I think it is lol

Your English is good. Welcome. Don't be scared. Just word of advice after surgery ans soon as they give you the OKAY to walk around... WALK WALK WALK all around the hospital halls. BELIEVE ME you will feel good once you start walking. Maybe 10 -15 minutes every other hour while your awake. When your discharged go to a mall or if its warm out walk for about 30-45... of course start slowly like 20 minutes and then increase it. It will help with your recuperation including the Gas. Good Luck and this is what we are ALL here for. SUPPORT. I find myslef in this site like 70% of my day lol.

Welcome elpaso.. Funny, I find myself here a lot too. Kind of like the neighborhood coffee shop. (ok, maybe that's just a Seattle thing) anyway

Thank you for the advice. I will walk as soon as I can. I've had 2 c-section and I wasn't able to get out of bed for 10 days...I hope this time it's different now that I grew up lol

Hello Proudgrammy. Well, I'm from Lebanon, a little beautiful country facing the mediterrannean sea. It's already springtime here. The hospital where I'll get operated has already appointed a nutritionnist and my surgeon seems to be one of the best in the country. He explained it all to me. I can't believe I'm getting sleeved so soon. I mean, it's been like less than a month since I started the procedure and Wednesday is day-D! I am scared but extremely excited to find back the real ME! Reading the positive inputs accross this forum is a true help. Thanks a lot for taking the time. Kisses.
