Hello all! I've been reading the forum for the past couple of months, thank you all for the great advice and sharing your experiences. It's been very helpful and informative! I met with the surgeon a week ago today, my surgery date is June 26. Anyone else for June?

Good morning everyone! I am scheduled to be sleeved THIS FRIDAY!!! Yikes! As excited as I have been throughout this entire process just this morning thinking about how close I actually am has me questioning my decision to go through with it. I have never had ANY type of surgery & fear I may be putting myself through unnecessary trauma. I also begin to fear it won't work for me. Up until this point I have been nothing but happy & excited' date=' now I fear I've done all this & it may end up being for nothing. I mean, I'm no fan of pain & I know there will be some physical pain & discomfort after surgery but if I don't go through with it, I'll still have to deal with the emotional pain I've been dealing with. Smh... Is this normal or am I just tripping? I mean seriously[/quote']

I will be sleeved this Friday too!

Keep your head up! You didn't come this far to turn back now!

I am feeling the same way, I think it's completely normal. My surgery is wednesday. I have had surgery before but nothing elective like this, all the others were necessary. You will do great! Good luck!

At the hospital now getting prepped for surgery! Everyone say prayers!

I asked my husband every day for two weeks before surgery, "Scott is this really what I should do?". Let me tell you, yes! I'm on day 6. I started at 203 and today I am 179!!! I've tried losing weight and I am never successful. I'm only 5'1 so 203 was a lot on my little body. I'm hardly in any pain right now. I can't feel any of my incisions except the larger one on my left side. It's just uncomfortable. You will be ok. Praying for you!!

Well today the 24th is here. Im so hungry but its all in my mind I guess. I'm waiting in the waiting area to be called back for my sleeve gastrectomy. I'm excited and my daughter is staying overnite with me. Haven't had anything to easy since 8:30 p last night. Everyone please play for a good outcome. I'll let everyone know how it went

Thank you all for your responses. They have really encouraged me to continue on. I really have come too far to give up now! Guess I better shake it off & continue to prepare & be excited about my future!!! Congratulations to all who have been sleeved & kingdom blessings & protection for those of us preparing to be sleeved. May we all have smooth comolication-free recoveries! God bless you all <3

2 weeks post op and doing great! Walked almost a mile today with no complications. On a soft-food diet and trying to figure out exactly when to stop eating before I hit that too full feeling. (Eating very little - eyes are much bigger than stomach!) Trying really hard to change my ways. Any suggestions??
