Ahhhhhhh! How exciting! You'll do just fine. No worries! All the worrying won't change a thing about your surgery! Just gotta trust you're in good hands and everything is gonna be alright. Maybe try to go to bed early so you can't think about it haha that's my plan

Thank you both!! I will definitely keep you all posted. It's such a blessing to finally get this done. But for some reason, my mind is spinning tonight. Maybe early bedtime is what I will have to do:)

Woot woot!! It will fly by. I was sooooo nervous, especially over the anesthesia part. I mean full blown phobia, panic attack scared. But let me tell you....anesthesia is AWESOME. Didn't even know I was put to sleep when I woke up in recovery. I asked the nurse when we were going to do the surgery haha. They give you pain meds to help you through the night which were awesome as well. I peed all night because of the IVs tho. And I may have asked wtf did I do a few times but it gets so much better. If your nauseous make sure you ask for the meds. They help and no need to suffer. But it honestly wasn't that bad.

I was sleeved Aug. 27. A week ago today, I couldn't sleep a wink the night before and truth be told almost bailed.... It was no where near as bad as I thought. You will be okay! Just remember afterwards walk as soon as you are able to. I think it made a great difference. Today I would not believe I had surgery if it wasn't for the stitches on my tummy and the 12lbs weight loss in a week! Good luck sending positive thoughts!

Ohhhh thanks for all the support!! I really needed to hear These words of encouragement. Knowing I'm not alone in my nervousness sure does soothe me a bit :). I figure I will probably have the wtf moment myself haha. And yes, today I've thought quite a few times about bailing. I will make it!!!

Day 3 and headed home soon Yay!!! Surgery went well. I walked as soon as i could and believe this really helped. I definitely had a few moments of 'why did i do this.' But i know in the end, i will be happier and healthier. Having alot of gas and tummy rumbling. Dr says this is normal. Had some broth and crystal light this morning. Tummy making all kinds of rumbly noises even as im typing this....anyone else experience this??

      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? 🤷‍♀️
