All right people, this is it. My husband and I go in today. I slept surprisingly well last night and feel ready to face this. More worried about my husband being okay than about me, but that's for no good reason except that I love him dearly

I'm going into this feeling very good, except for a niggling doubt that this too, may not work for me. I've tried everything. I haven't even lost anything for the last 8-10 days on a liquid diet of 800 calories, so part of me thinks, I will be that freak of nature for whom this wont work. Again, probably illogical but that's my fear.

So asking my fellow sleeves for your thoughts and prayers for us, for a successful surgery, and a positive outcome afterwards.

Also want to thank everyone who has posted and educated me. I have learned so much from all of you, and feel grateful for all of you who have shared openly so that the rest of us can go into this journey better prepared than we would have been without you.

My prayers are with you.

Best of luck!

Good Luck! Keep us posted.

Praying that God will keep you both safe and you will have a speedy recovery! Congrats

Good luck!!!

Good luck! I'm stalled out on pre-op too (600 cal a day & 70 g pro).

Good luck. Prayers said. This will work trust me I was in your shoes. I am almost two months out and lost 34 since surgery and 48 total. You got this girl. God is with you and He will get you through this.

You will both do fantastic! Let us know how you are doing when you are feeling up to it!

Gamergirl, prayers are going out to you & your hubby, and all our 8/2 sleevers!

Sending you guys good thoughts today!

Thank you all! We just met Dr. Alvarez and he was very charming The hospital is really nice. They gave us the big room so we could be together which was a nice gesture. Ready to have this done.

I'm awake and must be on happy juice Coz I.m really not hurting yet. I didn't want the oxygen mask so I asked to take of off and after w while they did. Me and my IV have already waled to the potty once, down the hallway once

My husband was sore so they gave him some meds and he is sleeping soundly now. Phew.

Congrats! Glad that you and your hubby are doing ok:)))))

Thanks for updating! Glad you guys are doing well

IV out today makes walking so much easier. I feel blessed at how good we are feeling. My husband has gas pains but says the pain meds are helping I already have gut gurgling sounds indicating everything is fine. We walked every 2-3 hours at night and again this morning. We were so excited about ice chips this morning! Just got them and feeling good.

Had it not been for this forum, I could not have assured my husband that what he was going through was normal. That he wasn't about to have a heart attack, that chest and back and shoulder pressure were normal and we just needed to walk.

So thank you very much once again to all who take time to post and educate.
