Everyone has second, third, or even hundredth thoughts--that just shows that you're taking the process seriously. If you went skipping merrily off to the pre-op exam room, I'd be worried. ;)

You're making a wonderful choice for your body and your future. Change can be nervewracking, but the results are going to make it all worthwhile. You'll do great; and you have plenty of people here pulling for you!

I'm scheduled to be at the hospital at 730am tomorrow. Not sure if my surgery is 1st or 5th on the list for my surgeon so we might be getting sleeved at the same time by different surgeons. I'm not nervous about the surgery but instead a little anxious and a little worried---anxious to get it over with and worried about the recovery and learning to eat again but this too shall pass. Then we are on our way to thinner! Adding you as a friend...keep in touch and let me know how you are doing and I'll do the same!

Yes, the surgery is not why I'm nervous... It's the recovery (I hate vomiting) learning to eat and drink differently. The first week is what I'm mostly scared about. I hear the first 3 days are the worst.

I had the sleeve on Thursday, and I have not vomited 1 time. I have a bit of an upset stomach but the nurse gave me a pepsid pill, which I was scared to death to try and swollow, it went down fine, no problem. I really wasn't that bad, but today we normally go out to eat on Sunday after church, and I am really missing that!!

You will be fine, it was not nearly as bad as I thought it would be. good luck!!

I have to be at the hospital at 7:15 in the morning!! I'm sooo nervous about the surgery itself! I've only been in the hospital once and it was having my daughter. I'm not worried about learning to eat afterward.... Actually looking forward to that. Prayers for everyone having their surgery tomorrow!!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
